Atlas (i did a total redo of the texture so the alignment and projection is accurate)

ik brightness of texture needs to be fixed to match the real albedo of the object

texture (incorrect brightness, and its greyscale)

Neptune 32k based on real images:

where is the dark spot?

[john71]

where is the dark spot?

I don't know! I just upscaled the "standard" Motherload textures with new filters.

Added after 5 hours 50 minutes:
One more Saturn image, with different texture:

One more Saturn image, with different texture:

wow! love that normal map for the hexigon

[john71]

love that normal map for the hexigon

Thanx, but nothing special. Just Gimp normal map effect at level 2 from the base texture.

Wow! Can those textures be downloaded from somewhere?

[john71]

Can those textures be downloaded from somewhere?

Not really. These are Motherload files and other low resolution images from the internet, but upscaled.

Use this offline 4x upscaling utility:

JPL-styled gas giants and some of their moons (WIP)

16k Uranus texture from Hubble image. It actually contains the real hazy clouds, but you have to use a filter.

To detect the clouds you have to use the texture without the applied noise:

Do you have a download link for this Uranus texture?

[john71]

I'm still developing it from Hubble images.

[SpaceExplorer]

ok. .

sure those are not artifacts? all space probe images have some artifacts in them

[john71]

Are these artifacts?

I actually hid the real IR clouds in the almost monochrome image.

Added after 2 minutes 37 seconds:
So I'm simulating the IR clouds with a "monochrome" texture.
