Semi-OT: making planets.

[Timstone]

Ragnarok:
I plead guilty as charged. I shall never again use the abreviation known as "Rags" when I mean to adres you, "Ragnarok".
Your Honour, I request a punishment of lifelong watching the best science-fiction movies/series.
What will be your rule?

David & Raganarok:
Thanks for the screenie and the help with finding this amazing program. I finaly got the change of using a biut more and discovered how to make a very good layout for a 3D planet. You've got it all: cloudmap, cloudbumpmap, landmap, oceanmap, landbump, etc. You shapp see result quite soon when I mastered the art of making an 3D atmosphere. Thanks!

And, dear Narf, which should be which?

[Timstone]

Okay, I've produced my first nice planet. Naturally I chose a rock oxygen planet type. Hope you like it.
Please, don't withhold any criticism.

Just onecomplaints: Please think about Users which are using dialup, for example Atrocities and me. Your bmp is quite big, so please save it as a jpg or gif.

Question: Is this actually a 3d scene or a 2d scene ?! Cant tell..

[Timstone]

I'm terribily sorry for using a bmp. I'll use a nasty jpg from now on. I just hate jpg, it really craps your pic up. Give me bmp of tif, but I was unable to opload a tif.

It's a real 3D scene. The goal was to make a nice planet with a transparent atmosphere. Well, I say I succeded in that. I was hoping you guys like the pic. When you guys give me some feedback I may produce more planets.
