Hi

I am sorry for the constant spamming about planet textures and stuff like that, but I was thinking and...

Does ANYONE know how to create an earth like planet in Photoshop CS2 with clouds? I would just like to know because I know that other people have done it and I have saw it right before my eyes. I am sure someone here would be glad to help me and I think the best thing for me at the moment is a tutorial. I just don't think the commercial generators are good because in my opinion you have to pay and then pay again for upgrades -_- (just like FWE !!) ... Whats the point when I can just create one for free?

Please help me with this as it is something that I can learn from.

Mr Noob

Get a plugin for photoshop called LunarCell. It's great for making a variety of earth like textures.
And to make clouds check out this tutorial.
MINI TUTORIAL: Making Cloud Textures With Transparency.

Lunarcell is fantastic for making any type of rocky/terrestial planet including clouds however I was thinking of how Enio done his "2nd Earth", because that to me is the icing on the cake

There is a tutorial on solarvoyager but the site is down and that tutorial clearly describes how to create an Earth like planet from scratch in Photoshop. If only it were up I would be learning it right now

Anyways thanks Reiko because Lunarcell for me is one of my top 3

Mr Noobs "Top 3"

1) FWE - Fractal World Explorer - Is the only good commercial generator where you don't waste your money
2) SolarVoyager Earth LIke Tutorial - Site is down but I have seen tutorial before and the results are 200% excellent
3) Lunarcell - Great program can generate rocky planets and clouds !!

Thanks

Mr Noob
