Since my computer is broken and I've got nothing else to do, I once again started making planets with my dad's laptop (512mb ram is way too little, but I manage). All three use the same base texture.

First one is an arid planet with huge canyons criss-crossing along the surface.



The second version could be the first planet after a few million years. The ravines are filled with dark blue waters and plants are starting to take over.



And then something went badly wrong...

Very cool CF.

[BlackDove]

Rather awesome.

[DaBrain]

Extremely cool!


I'll defiantly ask you if I need help with plantes.


But to be honest, I like a more stylized atmosphere look.

Maybe like this:


Probably a matter of taste.

Awesome work. I wish I could do that.

One thing though:
The first two planets have an awefull lot of landmass. Maybe you should consider putting some oceans on those.

[WMCoolmon]

The last one looks like the volcano planet in Episode 3.

Yeah, I sometimes make the glow bigger and less realistic, but in this case I felt it wasn't fitting. A matter of taste, as you said.

Realy very good planets:nod:  Specialy i like second.
There is one small thing that you could change - clouds, on yours pictures we can bearly see them.

Awesome work, sir. I especially like the first and second.

Did you have plans to put these into FS2?

They were planned from the beginning to be put into TBP

@c914: Yeah, I know. The barely visible clouds were done partially on purpose, partially because I had some problems with combining the layers in Photoshop. They look fine on these planets, but I'll look into the issue later.

Being bored at school can be a good thing.
