..Continuation of the poll for the next 10 surfaces ...
Several (9) gas giant planet surfaces are due for replacement:

*gas_giant.png
*gas_giant2.png
*gas_giant3.png
*gas_giant4.png
*gas_giant5.png
*gas_medium.png
*gas_midget.png
*gas_midget1.png
I am posting here a poll to select new replacement surfaces for gas giants. The winners of the poll will be committed to svn as soon as there can be seen favorites.
Please open the textures preview link in a new window or tab for easier reference when voting:

Those textures were created with POV-Ray using my own procedural routines. Out of the many samples I have selected those with personality and character. I hope you like them.
Please vote for your favorite.

Yeah, they are all pretty much similar. Logically, using the same algorithm just the randomized portions become different (colors, stripes, turbulences, weather strength). With time, the procedures are being further improved and enhanced. Expect more planet types coming out after August.klauss wrote:Oh... well... there's no favorite I guess, only shades of gray.
Currently this pretty complex "marbles" use up all my processor time. 7-9 h per 2K res map on a Pentium 1.6GHz. Means...I can commit earliest next week.

I chose those with patterns that don't quite repeat tho. Colors can be changed anyhow.
The banding on some is has tiled (i.e. most of the planets with darker bands which shows the same pattern of gradience on its sides), and it becomes obvious. But really good work, and really ahrd to choose from, besides. Why not all of em?
tho I can't wait to see these actually shadowed and all in klauss's style.

A Step Into Oblivion
Dreams of things that will never be,
Songs of thoughts only I can hear,
Leave me be to sleep forever,
To dream my dreams,
And sing my hymns,
Of things that will never be...

Right, looks like tiled, you can see this specially on 14, is however not really tiled but a repeat frequency I might have overdone. I'll improve this on upcoming surfaces.Oblivion wrote:The banding on some is has tiled
For now we only need 9 new surfaces. In the future I'd like to create still many more different characters. ...just love creating planets....Oblivion wrote:Why not all of em?
Pretty curious too, to see them rendered with the new shady planets engine.
