Hello Diablo, too bad I don't have 3dmax or photoshop. I have to do this with free software like planetgen and the gimp. I already knew that tutorial, too bad, but thanks a lot for the info. I'll let you know if I want to use one or two of your textures, but I am afraid they do not match with the ot...

Hello diabloblanco17, I downloaded some of your textures, I like the Dantooine Texture very much. :D Too bad the other textures all look like from planets that cannot carry life. :? May I ask you how you made them? The Dantooine texture is perfect for me, it also has a bumpmap, this is exactly what ...

Hello, @eburacum45: I don't need them quick. I have myself made some with Planetgen, they don't look bad but the stuff I saw here is much better. I need 10-30 Planet textures, and some space background textures. My project is a 1-4 player space shooter with 3d cinematics, project page is here: http:...

Aha, now I understood. Too bad it sounds like a lot of work,
if I have to clone and redraw most of my image, because I need plenty of them.

But thanks a lot for this hint, I'll think about it.

Hello, I just found this topic here: http://www.shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6717 I found eburacum45 wrote he made some planet textures using PlanetGen and a 'clonebrush'. I took a look and the textures look very nice. Can somebody describe me what a 'clonebrush' is (I am German), I don't have...

Hello, I am still searching for some good planet textures for my project. I searched Google and found something called 'Planet Texture Generator'. It should be around here: http://mikecelestia.bravehost.com/index2.htm But I cannot open the page, it loads and loads... Does somebody have the program a...

Hi John, this is a nice one :D With this: Planet -pq -c -a -s 3.1415 -m 1 -w 1024 -h 512 -o testWin.bmp it gave me a nice planet texture :D Can I somehow let it generate a few dozen with different colors etc. to choose some? This thing should have an interface, then it would be really great. :wink: ...

Hello,

I also want to make some planet textures, and used Planetgen until now.

These worlds were created with planetgen and a clonebrush...

Sounds good, but what is a clonebrush?

Thanks,
Firle

Hello Michael,

thanks a lot for the hint, SolarCell looks very good.

Hi!

I downloaded a trial of Paintshop Pro. It does save the images.
I only don't know how to make a sun texure now.

Thanks for the infos.

Firle

Hello,

Lunarcell is great and works fine. I made a trial texture, looked good.

Thanks!

Firle

P.S.: How can I make a sun texture? Can I do this also with Lunarcell (doesn't seem to work very well) or is there another easy way to make a sun texture?

Hello, thanks for the hint, the screens looked very good, so I downloaded it. But since I don't have Photoshop or Paintshop I can't seem to use it. I am not the graphician (is this the right word?) but only the programer, so I don't have any graphic software installed but the Gimp. :D I tried to ins...

Oops I forgot to lock in. Sorry, it was me!

Welllllll, this will be the main problem. I just looked at the code. first thing is I am a Delphi and not C++ developer, but perhaps I can do it. But the next thing is I know nothing about OpenGL and not much about D3D. I don't understand what GL_LIGHT0 etc is, I don't understand glLightf etc. This ...

Hello Rassilon,

I will try to translate it to DirectX8.1, it is really looking very good, but since I am a D3D beginner this could be difficult...

Firle

Hello Guest,

your earth picture lokks very good and now I want to have something like this, too. Too bad I am using DirectX8.1 with D3D, Doooh!

Hi Michael, this is the game's homepage, but the screens are a month old: http://www.ericbehme.de/comxenidis.html This is the forum, there are always newer screens and screens of the models etc. http://www.ericbehme.de/phpBB2/index.php?language=german The games name is Commando Xenidis, right now I ...

Hi Chris, thanks a lot for the info, your planet names sound cool :D I have already taken 30 of the above list, they do also not sound bad. Right now I am fighting with some 3D functions, the light from the sun is not working right, and I want to add some animated clouds on the planets, some asteroi...

Hi! After searching in a greek dictionary, I found some planet names that sound cool I think: Asteio Diaskedasi Paichnidi Kinigi Noima Ennoia Chronos Fora Eleytheria Xenos Akro Orio Synoro Tafos Mnima Skarfalono Pontikos Botsalo Chaliki Toxotis Trela Thyella Kataigida Zesti Kapsa Kafsonas Thalassa P...

Hello, wow, thanks a lot for those many ideas. I already thought I am not the only one who made some thoughts about this matter. The game's name will be 'Commando Xenidis', so I think I'll get myself a greek dictionary and get some cool names out of it, sounds like a good idea. :D If anybody is inte...
