solar system planet textures and planet textures in general

[James Brown]

All the way zoomed out it looks completely normal. It's only when your. Zoomed in enough to see your craft on the surface that the ground looks grey. View attachment 50658

Realistic!

I love it but where is other four moons of Uranus? Can you make them?

hmm... never thought about the rest of the moons... mainly because they're irregular. i dont know how to make textures for irregular objects, so i dont think i can. im sorry.

 

[James Brown]

Do you rmb how do you make those textures?

i make them by editing equirectangular maps and then projecting them on a sphere.

Do you use software like unity?

Do you use software like unity?

i use paint.net for the maps, and cinema 4D for the rendering.

Ok thank you!!!!

 

[Soyuzturtle]

no problem. i'll have it ready in some minutes, i'll send it to you in private.

Wait so you do have a version of the texture without the clouds? Could you send the same to me if you still have it on your phone please?

for some reason it wont let me send/make private conversations, so i'll just post it here since i dont have any reason to hide it from others anyway.
i feel like the resolution isnt the same as the rest, but it should still work.

You have to finish team titan before you start conversation with others

Um, they're missing a big pie shaped piece of the surface.

Maybe that is so we can see it has a core?

Interesting choice for a SFS planet texture.

I didn't really make this for sfs. I was just bored one day an made a planet.

Well, since you posted this in a SFS thread...

Advice:
Edit the picture you made so it doesn't show the cores.
Then carefully cut out each planet as a circle and separately save each planet-circle as a .PNG file with no background.
Boom, you made your own SFS planets.

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Nah, he made his own planet texture. There is a subtle difference between that and coding a planet.

Oh true, I forgot that very important word...

No problem, no offense taken.

That is a good idea I'll try that

This is my 1st attempt...

Decrease the “planetTextureCutout”
It should be a little below 1. Like, 0.95, 0.93, something like that.
