Yeah, there were a lot of 16k gas giant textures 20 years ago lol.

The secret of creating realistic gas giants is to use...real gas giant textures lol.

idk why, but i am not a fan of nasa eye's kepler-22b textures
i like this style for kepler-22b https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MDtGBHDVJ5cdmQDWuCRD68.jpg

Even exist another version of Kepler-22b from NOAA pages but I think is worse, lol

YUCK that looks like a poorly handpainted blurry map there

My interpretation of Ian Regan's Titan texture (32k):

I should mention that the low albedo parts in the equator are hydrocarbon lakes in your texture, which is incorrect.

They are not actually lakes, but dark dry deserts instead. Only the dark spots near the poles are lakes.

[john71]

That's true but I have to do something with these dark parts, they are hardly visible otherwise. But yeah, I have to correct the specular map.

Added after 2 minutes 30 seconds:
Also the surface is mainly some kind of ice, so some kind of reflection is possible in my opinion.
