A desert planet and a moon. Both scaled down for this composited image.

Both are originally 2048x2048 textures. A lot of detail is lost in the scaling as well as the .jpeg compression.

It's for a project.

What was used to make this: Pure PSP8.

neat

you need some ice around the poles and another moon, and you'll have Arrakis...

It's fun evolving planets, isn't it?

[Gloriano]

very nice:)

[Ashrak]

i love the craters on that moon

[FreeTerran]

uhm how have you add the gow around the planet in psp ( i only know it in ps7 ?

[Taristin]

It's called feathering...

[Ace]

I use drop shadow effects as opposed to feathering as it offers more control. Though I should play with a feathered cloud layer...

nice
can we see the original?

Reminds me of Arakkis. All it needs now are some orange splotches all over it!

This is a pretty cool try. I guess if you had wanted to make it a lot better you could try putting curving shadows over the planet so that they look 3D, maybe some stars. I couldn't see stars on that pic.

and if you add a bit of noise or displacement to the outer edges of the planets you will make them a little less perfect and thus more realistic.

mmh... take earth: the highest mountain is 8km tall. I doubt you'll see any bump on such a scale.

I hope I see it well that these are not made by LunarCell. Or am I mistaken?

By the way, it is very nice, dude! Keep up the good work!

[icespeed]

good stuff, etc etc

just out of curiosity, do moons cast shadows on planets?
