ORBITER SPACE SIMULATOR style Jupiter

[JAY_1976]

This script will make Jupiter look the way it looks at the Orbiter Space Simulator.The planet's surface looks like is made of clouds but when viewing the planet from back , the results are not good..

This is interesting but it makes Jupiter look awfully drab and dark. I'm not sure this is realistic. It would be nice to find an atmospheric effect that is close to yours but brighter.
