Hey, i know what i am about to say is unrelated to Jupiter and its moons, but is there any way i can contact you (i need to ask you some stuff regarding ShapeFromShade), i can't seem to PM you here, no PM option showing up in your profile (i sent you a friend request on discord btw)


anyways, now onto the textures, love the aurora texture, but why use obscure formats for some of the textures, why not have everything in png or tiff? not everyone is able to open these obscure formats you have some of your textures
(shadow-dragon mentioned this in my DM, so i thought i would bring it up here)

you can email me at

john.k.vanvliet@gmail.com

and that was you that made a friend request

i use vips as my default format because nip2 is designed to open very large files fast

nip2 handles the whole Venus 128k image very well ( gimp or photoshop can not)
also my "texture to VT" tool uses vips image format
