didn't Omni create one? for 3.6?

[vyper]

No idea. We've had planet packs for years tho - just never very high detail ones. A perfect sphere can be a bit of a bastard to render in-game.

Omni did create an Earth model. 'twas a sphere and had moving clouds.

But Omni always hated the fact you could see the joins between the images. Also, it was incredibly texture intensive, I don't think the latest standard SCP version can even handle that many maps on a single model.

Joints 'tween textures... hmmmm... No problem if the planet you're texturing is Trantor.

Or unicron or primus 


Now thats something I'd like to see animations done ingame for, two planet sized bots transforming

BACK ON TOPIC:

So, to create debris, I import several more objects into the Truespace scene, place them within the main model, and then label them "debris01", "debris02", etc. as appropriate?

Yep. Glue a light to each one and place them in the hierarchy after the turrets, but before the detail-levels. Also be sure to place the axis in the center of the debris object, otherwise it will later rotate in a strange way.
