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!

DEG, Do you happen to have an Earth like planet texture I could use in the TPM for the Dragon Federation homeworld Dragonis?

I myself use Planetgen or Terragen to do the planet textures. With Terragen it takes forever to make a good planet texture. And you still have to add clouds with Photoshop since Terragen is meant to render images from near the surface. (great for landscape pics). And planetgen generaters planet maps but they don't look very good.

Exan, What size texture do you want? 256x256? 512x512? please specify your needs.

DeadZone,.. nice planets. I also like to make high-rez planet texture maps then map them to a sphere in Bryce and then play with adding slightly larger semi-transparent spheres with various cloud/nebula type textures. There are many ways to make planets and it's always fun to see how things turn out using different techniques.

Cheers!
