Whoa! I'm absent from the project for a while, I return and see this! These are amazing pictures, good work! While the picture of Elina (the world that I'm constructing) is extremely pretty, Elina doesn't have any liquid water on the surface. It's all frozen. So, is there anyway somebody could do an iceworld with no liquid water? I would be extremely gratefull.

So does elina have any moons, and are you aware of how tiny your world is, its even smaller than proculus. If you just PM the answers and i'll update this post with the pic.

Whoa, that second one is cool as hell, how did you do that, I have to know. I've managed to get my hands on another free art/photo thing so i'b be able to have a try myself, depending on how you acheived such a brilliant effect.

Its really simple; (insert nathans quick step by step) Just create a second star layer and make it very cloudy and light; Then cut and paste a cricle of it over the planet. Then set it to about 50% oppacity. Then using the smudge tool, just mix it about in the shape of a slightly loose atmosphere. (end of nathans simpleton friendly step by step haha. I had a few mins till a tv prog so thought id fill it with something usefull) simple yet you can get some really nifty effects with it. have fun. nathan

Eventhough this is a very cool effect that might be appropriate for some planets, I hope you don't intend to have all the worlds that cloudy, since I kind of like it when you can see the continents and even signs of population.

I agree, certain planets it would really suit well. Like ones with funny shaped atmospheres and also forge worlds etc that would have large amounts of smog and other assorted rubbish in their atmosphere. Of course others it wouldn't. Its just an effect to add character to planets that it suits well. Otherwise we do have a large amount of the same style planets that wouldnt happen. -nathan-

Nathan, this would actually be perfect for Proteus, since we've now found that its ellipsoid atmosphere might cause it to lose gases into space. And with all those spacestations and orbital docks, it's great for a forgeworld. But... did you use the smudge-tool a lot? I think I can clearly see the strokes of the smudge tool:)

Though it can be changed without to much problem. -nathan-
