My take on what Makemake looks like:

That's nice!

My take on what Makemake looks like:

nice usage of Astra's crater brushes, came out real nice, one question though if you don't mind, is this color the spectra derived color? (haven't looked at Makemake's spectra derived color's in a very long time)

[MrSpace43]

is this color the spectra derived color

I got the color from a chart that fyr02 made on various TNO's.

More Earth clouds...

since ive never posted here, i might as well do a massive image dump of some screenshots ive captured...

A nice shot of Kedaro's moon system from CelWP

Cynor, a colonized planet with water but no native life

A Venuslike planet with a cloud normal map applied

The Moon close-up with a VT applied

Varbudos, home to a thriving and sprawling intelligent civilization. The Kerillis Nebula can be seen in the background, along with some other small nebulae

Habitable planet Bahnagsik, inhabited by an intelligent civilization. No city light texture yet

HIP 65426 b is a point source even on the best images we can get from JWST, so this is almost certainly not the case in reality.

[john71]

You are absolutely right. BUT I'm developing the texture tools for the future, when we will have few pixels wide direct images of exoplanets.

[Trolligi 112477]

I think we'll have to wait at least a few decades, if not hundreds of years, for that.

Well I would like to simulate that FEELING and it is fantastic to have an exoplanet texture (even if it is just a fantasy).

Well I would like to simulate that FEELING and it is fantastic to have an exoplanet texture (even if it is just a fantasy).

I would rather not have this feeling than try doing this with data where absolutely no information can be found, and any information found is completely fictitous.

I would rather speculate as to what a planet may look like (hence Project Sisyphus) instead of trying to find any evidence for what it looks like in places where there is no evidence.

[john71]

any information found is completely fictitous.

Not really fictitious, I just used the wrong data from the same star system.

[Trolligi 112477]

Not really fictitious, I just used the wrong data from the same star system.

there is no existing data appropriate for this kind of work, therefore any maps drawn from pictures relating to HIP 65426 b, which will invariably show as a point source, are probably fictitious

From a hypothetical gas giant from a system I'm (slowly) working on...The texture comes from gaseous-giganticus.

[TheLostProbe]

very nice rings! and that texture looks to good to have come from GG! but wheres my man Mr Atmosphere at

[Tegmine]

The rings I made on my own. Probably will make them a little less opaque. Sorry about not including a haze.
As far as the GG texture; I had one originally for this planet, but it got deleted. HOWEVER, I still had a picture of it in a planetary line-up for a related art/book project. So, using GIMP, I selected a pole to pole section, ran it thru GG, and there it is. I also found out (from the program creator,) it's often best to stop GG from completing the process. He said it goes from really ugly, to really nice, to really crazy and ugly by the end of it. So, I started doing that and have been very happy with what is coming out. (I guess that's my tip for using GG).

I was worried it looks too much like Saturn.
