Here is the code for an .ssc on a fictional Earth-like planet orbiting VY Canis Majoris. It uses a texture I made here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=18185

Code: Select all

"Perlman:VY Canis Majoris b:VY CMa b" "VY CMa"

The planet is named after Ron Perlman, who is the voice actor for Mr. Lancer (whom in my strange opinion is VY CMa's fictional character counterpart).
