Re: Map Editor and custom planet images
So I've been working on a system to emulate the image of earth from the 1972 Apollo-17 mission, using procedural methods. It comes reasonably close, and still works pretty well in game:
 
SectType.txt entry:
Physical Type := Planet
Picture Num := 302
Description := Inhabited by a pre-warp civilization of ape-like creatures.
Planet Size := Medium
Planet Physical Type := Rock
Planet Atmosphere := Oxygen |

Re: Map Editor and custom planet images
Wow... that picture looks nice. Too bad the little tiny picture wont have that much detail. But that's good work.

Re: Map Editor and custom planet images
It does look nice. But perhaps make the clouds fluffier and the ground a little differentiated?

Re: Map Editor and custom planet images
That planet looks great. I'm with Narf on the clouds and the ground.
It could also use some more cowbell.

Re: Map Editor and custom planet images
Do you got any other planet types? Like gas giants?
If you can make them as goodlooking as your rock planet, I for one would be interested in using them

Re: Map Editor and custom planet images
That's a great looking gas giant. Will you be submitting your images to the Image Mod for all of use to enjoy? They definitely have a place in future FQM versions if you do. 
FQM is back online again, so you could grab a full copy if you would like.

Re: Map Editor and custom planet images
What program are you using to generate the images, especially the great looking Gas Giant??
