This isn't nice to criticize a shared work ( to the first deviant who commented).....I mean, a positive critic is good...but such a negative one....pffff

Cool! Thanks - I always wondered if there was something useful to use those glow filters for

The shape of the shadow looks odd in step 5, it seems different and better in the final setup - which is rather sexy, for planets

Don't let any of them get to you. You always have to take the good with the bad. For a 13 year old that set out to make a simple planet tutorial, I think you did an awesome job. Plus, you got yourself into the daily deviation spot.

no matter what people say.. it's a good tutorial and you leave the creativity to people.. you don't have to write everything or make great planets on this tutorial.. it's up to people who use this tutorial and create what they have in mind.. i liked it and it's enough for me and will download it..

thanx..

Not sure what it's called but there is a great planet generator plugin for Photoshop out there somewhere, you can add weather effects and everything. But still a nice tutorial, good stuff.

alyn In reply to webPHIX [2004-06-15 16:10:55 +0000 UTC]

lunarcell huh, the free planet creating plugin. Sorry but it's a cheap and easy way to make planets fast those space artists who are genuinely serious about their art would never even touch a plugin like this. And those even more serious (like myself) would even paint their own planets manually.

i agree completely, just stating that it was out there.

Wow, that's really a cool technique. I don't have to do planetes very often, but if I should have to sometimes, I'll definitely use that way. ^^ Thank you for sharing!

memod [2004-06-15 10:47:08 +0000 UTC]

hm, I make my planets a different way, and I think there are methods to create more detailed planets, but they require more work. but for beginners this is a really nice tutorial I think, should be useful

yes i know but i made this one fo beginners who want to learn how to make a nice simple planet in less then 10 minutes, you can make more detailt planets but is longer work

memod In reply to Inventor [2004-06-15 10:58:12 +0000 UTC]

yep, I know, I read the description how long do you usually work on complex planets?

It depends from what sort but uselly something about 40 min

memod In reply to Inventor [2004-06-15 17:19:11 +0000 UTC]

my biggest problem are the textures, it's difficult to develop a detailed one, that looks good after spherizing.

Gjermis In reply to memod [2004-06-15 23:12:26 +0000 UTC]

I have your solution memod. When making planets, make them as big as you can afford, and shrink it afterwards. Then it will look as good as anything

memod In reply to Gjermis [2004-06-16 07:46:22 +0000 UTC]

yep, this is exactly what I try. although it's a hard effort for my comp but I think you got me wrong, my problem are simply the textures, I just need to find out how to make really detailed good textures, without simply overlayign different texturs.

Inventor In reply to memod [2004-06-15 17:31:34 +0000 UTC]

yes you can download them or make them self with terragen or to take some photo's of rocks etc...

memod In reply to Inventor [2004-06-15 21:49:39 +0000 UTC]

I must figure out how to import height maps into terragen, to generate seamless terrain textures. then I think I will improve a lot in this
