Hello,
To Make the planets I use a set of PSP Plugins from
www.flamingpear.com (LunarCell, SolarCell and Glitteretto.)
The LunarCell plugin is the one for making planets. It also has the ability to save a PSD layer map which is esentially the same thing as a texturemap of the planet. So I have also used it to create planet textures for SE5.
Cheers!
