What do you guys think?

It looks darn nice! Try putting it on top of a nebula background and we'll see how that looks too. Oh, and planets... I painted the planet map for Array #187 ("http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/hosted/array/imgcomments.php?image=187") a while back, you like? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Edit: lvlshot tags added - if I can go to the trouble then you sure as hell can (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Ikeya Produtions Mark 2 is about to be reborn! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Oh btw Setekh, you did use Spire for that right? It looks damn sweet... what was it - custom map applied to a sphere or something with the clouds done using particles?

Here's one with background nebula - as you can see it obviously cuts off into black a little sooner than I'd like it but I guess theres only a little work that can be done with that.

'Course I did. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) Hand-painted map onto a smoothed sphere with the clouds created from (approx.) 160,000 hypervoxels, which is why it's relatively undetailed. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Oh, and as for the lvlshot tags, I left them off because they make the picture bigger on my window, which lags the screen bigtime.

Looking real good, though - I was toying with the idea of making planets for FS2 a while back. I have a great gas giant preset I can send you if you want - get on ICQ. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Whats Bright? I haven't heard of that before (is it a program or a feature? I simply don't remember any reference to it anywhere).
The clouds are all using real maps taken from satellites. Which one do you think used artificial clouds?
That gas giant sounds cool - I'll get on ICQ asap (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

And the red planet (is a planet (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)) though I can see where your coming from, as for the edges - I'm working on it (it can be fixed).

Oh, and thanks to sandwich and his preset for Glitterato I now have an understanding of gas giants:
Neat huh? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

EDIT: Actually, it's not Glitterato - it's LunarCell. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Cool; I need to give it a shot sometime using those tools. Your planets look much better than any of mine do...
