Extremely pretty! Very pretty indeed!
At this juncture I would suggest you look around at the Website forum and how these things might be represented. Remember that 'standardisation' is one of the concepts of the ASP...

Could you clarify which bit of the forum in particular, and how do you mean standardised. Are you suggesting you would like me to do everybodys world, that would make them fairly standard, and i dont think i would mind doing that as long as you think what i've done so far is good enough.

Hi Dazo, very nice!
Are you really going to paint all the worlds of Anargo?
If you have a copy of Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop you may like a little automation to help you in this gargantuan task. If you’re interested I can point you to some filters?
;D

Well if every one is liking what i've already done I don't mind. Though the final decision about that would have to be up to CELS or Kage. I use MS paint and ulead photo express in conjunction. My computer art is very basic, what you see is a very recent breakthrough in my abilities to do planets(they looked really crap about 3 weeks ago), i don't know what you are talking about when you say filters Any help or advice you might offer is most welcome

My computer art is very basic, what you see is a very recent breakthrough in my abilities to do planets(they looked really crap about 3 weeks ago), i don't know what you are talking about when you say filters Any help or advice you might offer is most welcome Unfortunately those two do not take plug-ins/ filters =Filters=Filters are mini programs within your Photo/ Painting software that are used to create special effects. =Plug-ins=Plug-ins are new filters that can be added to your Photo/Painting software. They are designed to be very easy to add (you just drop them into the Plug-ins folder of your Photo/ Painting software). Any program that is 'Photoshop Plug-in Compatible' will take plug-ins (not sure if Ulead's more advanced product 'Photo Impact' takes them). Lots of companies make plug-ins, and many free plug-in can be found on the net. =Flaming Pear=Flaming Pear is a company that makes plug-ins, the one that I'm thinking may be of use to you is Luna Cell. It is a Plug-in that creates worlds! Luna Cell=Software=If you like Luna Cell, you will need new software, fortunately there are many demos available that I can point you to If you need more info, let me know...

Point, point ;D. Actually a step by step guide would be helpful. If i can get that up and running I will gladly do everyones world. The only reservation I might have would be if continents couldn't be made to match the actual maps people have done. Though that is a minor point. which at the moment I don't care about, I want that program*drool* Its worth alot, thank you.

Point, point ;D. Some demos are very large downloads, so before I point you in the right direction, I need to know which direction is right for you. Do you have Broadband? Actually a step by step guide would be helpful. I think I can manage that, but first we need the software (see above). If i can get that up and running I will gladly do everyones world. Now that’s just crazy talk! ;D The only reservation I might have would be if continents couldn't be made to match the actual maps people have done. Though that is a minor point. which at the moment I don't care about, I want that program*drool* No you can not match people’s maps to the generated world. But you can make a pretty picture of the world and output that world as a flat map which looks like an Atlas map People could use this flat (Atlas) like map as a basis of their world map (I’m sure they will not mind too much if you lavish something like one of these beauties on them ). Let me know about the broadband thing, back Saturday, talk to you then

Yes, yes I do
Yes thats pretty much what I was thinking, and to be fair theirs only been 4 maps done to my knoledge and two of them were mine and 2 were CELS, apologies to anyone whose maps i have missed

More than four maps have been made, yes. I know Zid Dinoman did a couple, and I know I made 3 maps, not two.
Now... I hate to nit-pick (actually, I love it) but is the shading of the moons and planets right? I just don't understand why the darker side of the moons look like there's an eclipse. The shading is quite unrealistic and physically strange, I think...
Quite pretty though

Yes I know they are unrealistic CELS, thats why I had plans on re doing them. Much like Lucas appears to have done I wanted to do it. Sorry I have only seen the two official ones you had done. You have to admit though the maps you could get using the program Lucas used would be vastly superior. I will be doing all mine like that, wouldn't you like see your worlds done like that CELS?. Edit: which star program is that, those look good by the way
