Celestia Forums

Hi

I was browsing on youtube the other day looking at videos made for Celestia and I came accross this:

I was wondering if anyone in the community started this project because it looks good (so far). If it is anyones, do they have a link as to where I might obtain it?

I can only conclude, from watching it, that it makes Earth-Like Worlds and the following other mapping types:

-Night Lights
-Bump Maps

Oops, almost forgot there is a previous video on it too:

Notice what the video description says too

Some time ago there was a good fractal planet generator.

EDIT: the lost planet generator is the one john van Vliet mentiones.

Here are a few project worth mentioning:

(Using words generator, fractal, planet, solar system and such yields usable results.)
