How to make a planet with a bulge

You could do that with a heightmap, but the difficulty is to generate it. I'll see if I can do something...

 

[Altaïr]

I managed to create a heightmap for your bulge. This is what the result looks like:


Is it what you needed? I generated 5 bulges of different size: tiny, small, medium, large and extra-large. This is what each of them looks like (first picture is with no bulge for reference):


To use them, you have to add the following line to the planet file:

The first parameter is the bulge terrain you chose, the second parameter must be the planet circumference (2×π×radius), and the third one must be the planet radius.

Heightmaps are in the zip file, you have to put them into your "Heightmap data" directory.

Literally an egg planet.

Cool. Now I can recreate Haumea

Oh nice!

If you need a bulge with specific dimensions I can create it quite easily now, I have a program for that. I can also rotate it if you need a specific orientation.

cool, Now make a peanut asteroid

I need 2 hours to make half triagle height map but its broken

 

[Sfs veteran]

Btw this is MASTERPIECE

I can do the most.

But how to know we must use small or big and how to find a right code we have over trilion of trilion of trilion heightmap code combination

 

[Sfs veteran]

TThing what i know is only this

 

[Sfs veteran]

Planet diameter also make the heightmap change we cant use a same code for all planet if have different diameter

For the bulge you have to use, the choice is up to you, I've shown what each of them looks like. The 2 other parameters are the circumference and the planet radius. The radius is given in the planet file in the first section. I don't see how you come up with trillions of trillions of trillions of code combination. You have 5 possibilities for the bulge, and all the rest is determined by the planet radius.

Planet diameter also make the heightmap change we cant use a same code for all planet if have different diameter

But you have to employ a different formula for each planet. Just use the corresponding radius for each planet, what's the problem with that?

 

[Sfs veteran]

The problem is the planet diameter i need to know first your planet diameter in your sample photo so i only need toward it to earth diameter

Not sure how it helps you but the diameter is 7000000 meters. It was done with Jupiter.

I was asking the main question here…

 

[BlaBoy Playz YT]

I can do medium.

How do I input a heightmap

How do I input a heightmap

Seriously, I gave some detailed instructions several weeks ago (See third post of this discussion: Bulge), and I explained it again yesterday. Why don't you guys just read the fucking instructions? Now I'm tired of being asked the same thing again and again.

OHHHH, for your information, I don’t have like a 15536536627536637 IQ. I just need help with ONE a thing that I don’t understand, there is your information.

 

[Sfs veteran]

Thanks
