The textures for these worlds is an exercise in what habitable worlds might look like if they had very high obliquity.

From what I've heard, the equators on such worlds would be colder than the poles.



This binary pair is inclined about eighty degrees to its ecliptic.

I get the same problem with the ground shaking.

Fiddling around with Belle Hades' texture, to try out seasonal variation. Axial tilt around 26.4° to its orbit.



For some reason, all my planet texturing efforts seem cartoony.

Try going to HSL color model and turn the hue down.

you might want to start a thread and describe that
we might be able to find a solution

this i call cartoonish "fractalPlanet" default

Start with tuning the Hue and brightness of the lightest colors down a bit.
Also you need small details.

Cassini Titian encounter starting near Feb 18 12:30 AM EST

Hi.

I'm posting a few pics from my new martian rotovator system. It grants me some spectacular shots. For those who don't know, a rotovator is a giant sized rotating orbital tether, smaller than the traditional geosynchronous tether but still immense. And far more practical, especially on a low gravity world like Mars.

Nice!

this topic has been discussed in the past so no use starting a thread
a replacement for "splash.png " - just some fun

Looks like a preview for an alien invasion movie.

It's nice!

i was just having some fun
and the topic of the splash has been talked to death

After seeing the moon post in Addon Development, I figured I'd fiddle around with my moon addon, to try to increase realism. I still don't think it's of the required quality for the Motherlode though.
