...Haven't really posted anything in a while, so I thought I'd post some pictures of a planet shader I made today. It looks better in realtime, maybe good for a screensaver...

If requested, I can post a video...
If interest shown, maybe make it into a screensaver (with more work and quality first)


EDIT: Forgot the link as always:
PICTURES HERE!

i think the transition from day to night should be thinner, not as wide:

though, when I think about it... it does take a while to get light in the morning. so I would've made the transition rather slow as well, if I hadn't seen planet pictures.

other than that, great work smile

It has been a while indeed Guitar, good to hear from you again smile smile
But the advantage of this is, is that when you show off with a great project, the wOOt factor is even bigger ^^
Thus my wOOt reaction was big since that is one nice planet shader, the only thing I really missed in there were clouds wink wink

Thanks in progress

It's for a project I'm starting on. It probably won't be used so...

If (A) It's not used or (B) They don't mind, then I'll put it in the UC


It's using 4 satellite images.
1) Diffuse (surface)
2) Specular (water)
3) Overlay (Clouds)
4) Ambient (Night surface)

Each image is 2048x1024. Instead of applying lighting onto the model, it blends between the day & night satellite images. The clouds are !slowly! spinning over the surface as well. Add a little specular for the water and a bit of atmosphere, and BOOM! A decent planet... lol


ADD: Here's a [Screw up my video]Tube video...

And thanks for the kind words as always Frazzle!

looks good but you should use higer poly spheres, around the 2000 mark and a geosphere should do it.

For actual use I will, but I'm no artist, so mapping.... 440 faces was enough of a pain. It was just for testing...

Next is physics!
