Bob, I haven't posted the textures anywhere, I made them for myself mainly. I only posted the pictures here to see what people thought of them... I wish I never had now, heh. I regret using the clouds without tracing down where they came from, but I honestly didn't think a few pictures would be such...

Thank you, cartrite

Fridger, How could I have actually used Don's texture? It hasn't even been released yet, has it? My biggest influence was Kim Stanley Robinson's Red/Green/Blue series - my texture includes a fairly dry Argyre Basin, like in the books. Also, I think its got a lot lower sea level than Don's. If you re...

Fridger, As I said, I never intended to copy Don's work, I just made a texture that happened to look a lot like his, from afar, for my own purposes. I've apologised to Don, but I never set out to 'copy his work' in the first place. I didn't even have it in mind when I was mucking about in Paintshop ...

Don, I've removed the Mars picture. I apologise, I didnt intend for my work to be a "rip off" of yours, I was just making textures for fun, and for my own stories, and wanted to get peoples impressions of how I was doing :( My textures no where near approach your own in terms of detail, obviously, t...

Well I've wrote quite a lot of stuff already about these worlds, and the other worlds I have planned, yet I can never seem to form it all into a coherant story only works well in my mind.... lol

Thanks! @ bdm, i clonestamped bits of Earth's bump map in paintshop into a single bumpmap for a new planet, then used layers with different blendings to build up colour on the surfaces. Of course that wont make sense if you dont use paintshop :lol: @ Lordferret, the stories still mostly in my head a...

Hey all. Been a long time since I've done any Celestia work, but recently I started messing about with things again, and these are the results. Hope they are liked :) Alpha Prime : Orbitting Alpha Centauri A, this was the first world colonised during the Basket Project, and is now the capital of the...

We'll see what the Elysium Island Seperatist Movement has to say about that

Very nice work btw

Hey all. Ive been facinated by the moons of Saturn for a little while now, and recently I found this: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/121/tethyscalypsolu4.png This was taken at aobut the closest approach I could get, with the two little moons just further than 1000Km from each other. I dont know ...

*backs up all current projects onto disks*

Snowball Earth is up on the motherlode check the "Fictional/planets and systems" section to find it.

On the issue of the Great Lakes, they wouldnt increase in size from the higher sea levels directly , as they are above sea level, however they would be swelled due to incresed rainfall, and thawing of Canadian permafrost :D They might even be joined by another two lakes to their west, depending on e...

You have made an error with greenland, the only land in greenland is the outlining moutain range. There is no land in the center. Once the land had rebounded from the weight of the ice there would be. There would be the U -shaped mountain range round the edge and a wide, dry, central basin in the m...

Yeah leave it, I like it

Ooo yeah I saw that thing about Solar Dimming. Thank the Victorians for most of that carbon dust in the upper atmosphere lol. Producing cleaner burning fuels might be the worst thing we've ever done...

:o I like it! Nice. I especially like the thawed Greenland and Antarctica! I've done a little work with a climatology group over here in England, we've actually been working on rainfall patterns after a massive sea level rise (maybe not as much as this, but...). The only main thing I can point out i...

buggs and eburacum, thanks for the resources.

Cool Ill send it in soon. Ill do some research and have a go at making a more scienfically accurate version too.

Thanks, it was purely messing about :) I hadnt given the coastlines much thought. If it was a slow freezing process, with the water precipitating onto the ice caps, I guess the coastlines would be much further out as sea level fell. However if it happened fairly fast, I would think the water would e...
