Planetary textures

esgaroth · Post by **esgaroth** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 1:06 pm

I have made some planetary textures with a photoshop plug-in (LunarCell) that I recently discovered. This could improve the planetary textures. Anyone interested ?
Examples:

*salivates*

SURE! Man, take a look at the current planetary textures. they really need attention and this looks like it!

And who is responsible/whom to give them ?

that someone can grab them from this thread, they look nice

especially the earthlike/biodiverse one needed a revision, the current texture looks washed out.
did you make them in the right aspect of the existing textures?

They are completely new textures. The earthlike one is created so that it looks a bit washed out (just to have more diverse looking textures and not all look the same), but i have also lots with "stronger" colors. I will upload a link later this day with a zip file containing a few dozens of textures so that everyone can find textures for its own taste.

No, I mean the current one, as already used in data4.x, yours is good.

Sorry, cant upload a file of that size, so i have to give them manually. Here are 2 desert textures:

And here are 2 forest planets:

And, last for today, 2 dirt planet textures:

More will follow the next days.

on the forest planets: I think there should be more water or else what feeds so much green?

An active rain cycle?

Actually, Klauss is right, you could imagine an ecosystem where most of the water is constantly cycling and where is not very much need of oceans. This would work only on a planet with not too much temperature differences.
Just a few more:
The m class planets:

And some tundra:

For a forest world with more water:

And some rock planets:

Keep them online. It may take me some time to find the time to sort them out.

No problem, they will be online for at least 2 months. Just send me a note which you use and which you dont like (just for me to know which ones are conceived nice and which dont). And if you need more, just drop me a note, it is no problem to make 20 more or so.

Ok, some moons:

And some weird planets

I think your host has been hacked or something

It smells like a stolen DNS.

My host is aol. Dont know whether it is occasionally hacked or not, but at least it works for me....

Apparently it is occasionally hacked

It was redirected towards one of those phishing search engines.

Some maybe washed out, but still good.

I'm not sure if we need separate moon textures. Planet textures should be able to be used for both planets and moons.

I just named them moon textures due to their similarity with good old luna. Course they can be used for planets, too.
BTW, I will remove them beginning of february, so anyone who likes them should download them soon or PM me.

Oh... I meant to commit them, but I've been having other pressing issues and some... connectivity trouble (to name it something, but not accurate).
I would appreciate your mailing them to my gmail account (klaussfreire) - the entire package. Downloading them one by one is ugly at my present situation (troubled connection at home, can't really download tons of images at work).

I'll try to pick and commit soon, no kidding.

No problem, I can pm them all to you, although I dont know what a gmail is... is it the pm that you can do on this page or what ?
Best wishes,
