   }
}

I like it, but is the bottom of the planet really that pink? It think it's a bit too much

Pink? Thats beige...or it should be...Take a screen shot and show me what you have...

Also for everyone...if you do not use cloud textures or specturals then this is not for you...

Ras',

People who haven't read all of your postings really can't know what each of your archive files might do for them. The filenames don't provide enough of a hint, unfortunately. It would be very helpful if you could upload a text or html file that had a brief (one line?) description of each of them.

Oh that I dont know how to do...the Description text...I could make a web page but right now I just dont have the modivation to do it...I suspect I will eventually...I really hate HTML...and that would explain my lack of a Celestia page right now hehe...

Ill do something eventually even if its an ugly all text one...

Words cannot discribe what you would see up close and in the flesh...If I learn to capture the detail of the wisps of methane gas then there truly would nor need be any discription ;)
