I made the pics of the planets. The particle mass galaxy is from a pic I found. Well, I actually found the picture of Earth just cause I don't trust myself to generate the proper placement of the masses and such, but I still added the shadow and the stars.

About the story, its actually a good thing it feels like an old sci-fi thing. It originally came about after I had a Dune binge (7 books in like 2 weeks).

How do you make the planets?

Photoshop. I start with a 500 x 500 document in photoshop and create a flat texture, then 3D transform it into a spherical shape (Filter>Render *Only in PS7), and after that make textures, spherize and layer as seen.... Hard to understand. PM me if you need help.

My, how could I have missed that youŽve created a new topic?

Game still look awesome, and improved.

IŽll follow this game for sure.

So that's your working intro huh? Looks pretty cool.

PS6 has Spherize, Render, and 3D transform. To see if I understand what you mean, I'll make a planet.

[I Have a Sandwich]

Oddly enough, CS2 doesnt have 3D transform.

[EXO Muffin]

I can't get it to look like your's, though...

[I Have a Sandwich]

Did you smudge it? Here, this is what I meant by texture.



And this is how I dimensionalize it, plus I added shadow.



Now, I didnt use 3D Transform, but spherize set to 28 twice.

[EXO Muffin]

Where can I get these textures?

[I Have a Sandwich]

...You make them.

[EXO Muffin]

Meh pl4nnent!!!1one!

[I Have a Sandwich]

Not bad. Works for making solids. Gasies are a bit different. Anyways, PLEASE refrain from anymore off topic posts, PLEASE.

No, I understand. I 3-d model as a hobby, but I never really used the render function in photoshop. Thanks, dude!

On-topic: I liked the map you put up, but the fog was a little strong. You might want to make it a bit more transparent, like 10% or so.

Also, my photoshop doesn't have spherize, or I can't find it. What heading is it under?

BTW, if you want flat Earth-like textures, use Google Maps.

Filter, Distort, Spherize
