Hello Celestians, I made this Venus texture months ago, but never shared it with anyone.

Anyways, without avail, some pictures:

The texture itself isn't very good, but I'm going to try to improve it. Mainly, it's only 2500 x 1250, so it looks pretty bad upclose, I'd make it higher res, like 30k or something, but the highest resolution of Venus texture I've found is only 5120x2560, so I guess if I remade it it could only get that big.

Anyways, feedback!

Ah thanks, that might be just what I'm looking for, do you have an idea how I could quickly get a map from that?

Actually, I'll reconsider. 5120x2560 is more than enough to work with, but I'll definetely bookmark that site incase I need it again, so thanks.

why dont you release that texture of yours

Because honestly, it sucks. It doesn't look realistic at all and I can do much better. I am going to remake it though, and I'll possibly release a finished version of this terraformed Moon texture with nightmaps and everything soon enough, so if you wanted something from me, you'll get it.
