Vega Strike Forums

Hi !
As the standard vegastrike planetary textures are a bit lame, I have been searching around and came across a photoshop plugin called LunarCell that creates planet textures. I have made some and put them here for discussion. Most of them look really good in vegastrike/vegatrek. Opinions ?

I think some clouds could really improve the textures. And perhaps making multi-layer textures would also look cool.

Very nice textures. Can the tool generate height/normal maps, also?

Clouds would definitely be on a separate texture. Klauss has some pretty amazing cloud shaders that make the clouds project shadows onto the ground, as well as self-shadowing. But you'd need to generate cloud textures; --the only cloud texture I've seen so far is the one from NASA, and I've already memorized it.

Yepp, clouds are on another texture. The plugin allows adding clouds or making cloud textures and Ive done some. The tool can also make height (bump) maps. Just added a teexture with bump. Ive tested a lot, and some I like more with bump and some without....

And Vulcan.....
