Hi all,

i`ve taken the texture from Bj?rn J?nsson and make a little experimentation with it. I`ve made 2 map`s of Saturn and colorized the ring a little bit like the picture from cassini spacecraft. Here are some screenshots. What do you think? Pic 1+2 are links to larger Pics.

And here the comparison Picture from Cassini.

Thank you Jack.

I don`t no what version is better and fit the original near 100%?
I need more feedback about the textures.
Here are 2 more screenshots from both textures:

I like the First texture
seems to match the Cassini picture much more.
Good work David

Hello Commander D

Both textures look good, and I've gotta agree with Paul, pic 1 looks the best as it is the nearest match to the Cassini image. Would it be right to say that Cassini images are the most accurate currently available?

regards

Image 1: Slightly too dark
Image 2: Too blue

I think similar to GUEST: I cant decide which one looks better... I'd say that a combination of both will be the best one... the blue from one and the colors from the other...
But they both looks very good, nica job!
