I'd like to present You a planetpack by polish modder Ki-mo. They were released on polish freespace forum in two packs, and after all, they finished only in my Ultima Cena project... But why? They're soo coool , so why not to release them here?

This release contains 13 beauty planets in 2048x2048 resolution. Originally made by Ki-mo, I've converted them to proper format [dds] and wrote a modular table. All credits go to Ki-mo, I'm posting this pack here with his permission.

  so beautiful.

[Rodo]

Nice planets.

[Spoon]

nice planets, but the color banding on the shadow-light side transition is really glaring

[Herra Tohtori]

I'm pretty certain that's just a PNG rendering issue related to the settings with which the image was saved.

When I saved one of the images and opened it in GIMP, then saved with "save gamma" option, the result is this:

Okay, yeah. That looks a lot better.

Holy crap, those are nice! Downloading now.
If I end up using them Ki-mo will be mentioned in my mod's credits of course.

This could be useful

[Droid803]

Well now I'm hesitant about using them, if everyone else is going to be doing it...

Exclusive assets are worthless. Everyone should share as much as they can. Nobody's going to play your campaign because you've got a planet or a ship nobody else has - that will just make them download your campaign and take it.

@Legate Damar:
Probably I'll end up using a maximum of two. I already have most of the system's planets etc. and my campaign's setting is only a single star system.
Also almost nobody will play my campaign I guess, so they won't notice you have the same planets

[Legate Damar]

Oh, well I just meant I don't want to do all of the same stuff everyone else is doing

[headdie]

why? 

"My mod must be unique in all aspects" has been the downfall of more projects on here than I dare count including many highly anticipated project.
among the unique ones that are released even Spoon's on man mission of WoD which is an entirely new universe, uses public assets including Retail/MediaVP models and iirc MediaVP background assets.

Most players dont look at the bg much unless it's poorly done or causing problems, they tend to be more interested in looking at what they are shooting at.

Aye

You are already.

[Legate Damar]

Well I mean like if someone uses one of these and makes a campaign/story arc prominently focusing around the planet Blah, I don't want someone playing my campaign and going "Hey look, it's planet Blah."
