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..

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.

Timstone, save the file as PNG instead of BMP or JPG. It loses just a tad of quality of the BMP but you can hardly notice the difference.

And the whole shortening of my nick...You can call me Rags all you want.

I was referring to calling the second coming of me, Ragnarok-X, Rags instead of myself.

My whole attempt was to confuse you and it must have worked.

Actually the entire purpose of the PNG format is to have lossless compression.

Avoid JPG at all costs!

Also, don't listen to David Gervais when he chimes in to tout his JPG compression algorithms... they still have some color loss.

Okay, I'll use PNG from now on. Thanks for the advise.
But what about the pic itself, any comment?

So you have a second coming?

Is Rags a Prophet or Messiah? Will he bring about a new religion or the end of the world? Will he be shot before he causes more trouble than he's worth? Find out next week....

And the Picture is dam pretty

I say shoot the bastard. But that's only because of the fact that I love to shoot (I've been shooting since I was 11 or so, I have a licence since I was 18, that's 7 years now).

Thanks for the comment RD!
I'll soon post more pics.
