Great tutorial!
Very well explained apart from alot I have seen, I never actually realized that the light shouldn't go past the two poles. Now that I have read this I am having a face-palm moment

INT is short for Intelligence, a common RPG stat. It means I got smarter reading it.

Lol that is so true, especially that "never further than the two poles" thing, it's the most important.
Thanks for making me wiser! (or less dumb) lol

What kinds of tutorials would you be interested in?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
planet tutorials. the thing is i have photo shop elements 7 which i don't like because of all of the tutorials i have seen elements don't work with it. but i do have i tablet

Well I don't have Photoshop Elements, so I'm not really sure how I would be able to write a tutorial regarding any specific techniques. This tutorial isn't really specific to any particular software, so I suppose I could write a similar one for general planet creation...

thx. the thing is elements can't make a outer glow like you do with planets. i don't know what to do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I don't use outer glow, I use the airbrush. Try that? There's always more than one way to accomplish a task, especially in Photoshop.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so use a light blue color on the out side and inside?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Depends on the planet, as well as the color scheme for the image. Just keep tweaking it till it looks like you want it to. It may take a very long time before you get it right, but it's worth it.

thx. yesterday i was using photo shop and found out the inner glow works its just the outer glow that doesn't work. i have an idea that may work....hey could you help me on one more thing? how do u make city lights?
p.s. by the way what do u think about the group making thing that came out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm afraid my technique for city lights won't help you much, I paint them by hand
As for groups... Well, they've really been out for a while already, so eh.

Veyr helpfull, thank you.
Oh, by the way what you meant under evil/not evil in the fisrt example?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Was just a bit of a joke
All I meant was that one version is realistic and therefore correct, whereas the other version was unrealistic and therefore incorrect (in most cases anyway).
I'm glad you found it useful!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Errr...And which is which?
Welcome)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The one that says "Evil" is the evil (incorrect) one, and the one that says "Not Evil" is the not evil (correct) one

AH! Now I know where your nickname comes from lol

Haha yeah, not so mysterious after all, huh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not really, a bit similar to mine
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm doing the lightning on the planets in a similar way. Still it's good to check if it's done right. Good job with the tutorial
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why have I never seen anyone else cover that so simply. It makes sense now. Nice work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome, I'm glad it was able to help you, thanks a lot!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This should help a lot. I see quite a bit off stuff that isn't lit properly (I'm probably guilty a fair bit myself xD), and now no-one has any excuses ^^
