That planet and that ring both look oddly familiar...

Also, why are the pictures links?

Also, why are these posts about addons in the "Celestia Development" Forum? :lol:

The hot planet looks nice though.

That I will agree with.

yep, really nice ones.
where did you get the textures from or which program did you use to generate them?

I like the temperature of Crematoria - was that intentional?

I'd say that blue planet is the original version of exo-class3.jpg included in the Celestia distribution (I've subsequently submitted a version without the probably unrealistic cirrus clouds, so I don't think v1.4.1 has this particular texture). You can get it off CVS here.

I generated the texture using POV-ray, and subsequently edited various features using the GIMP. I'll state in advance that the typical reaction I get when recommending POV-ray to artists is that they really, really hate the interface.

Texture is public domain, so do what you will with it.

If people are interested, I'll post the code I used to generate the exo-class#.jpg textures, but it won't be much use unless you actually know POV-code.
