Clouds in the terran sense are a separate animated layer we add atop the planet, though having a bit of haze to an ice planet would seems reasonable.

We do need alot of differnet type of Tera textures. Like maybe a planet with all it's landmass in the equator.

i can recall 3 terran textures from the top of my head.
I think Venus-like, Paul-like, and Sentry Levi-like.
Also we have 3 home textures.

I see a lot of potential in these.
Definitely try to improve the topography, as no planet is perfectly round.
Keep up the good work!

The shape of the planet will be dictated by Darkspace's Developers when they issue the texture. What needs to be analized on my part is the texture itself. Ie things like:
How does it look
Does it look real
any graphicial issues
Need more mountains
need more Clouds
Need more water
Need more land
Needs higher Depth of Colors
Fix coloring
etc so forth.

I have not given up yet. I have made some progression in making the planets look realistic, though i feel they may be out of place as most graphics in ds are sort of "cartoonish" like WoW.
we'll see how it go's give me a day or so.

New planet textures have been uploaded.
I am trying to match the idea's or concepts of ds while doing something new.
I have upgaded the neatness on the side and sloted the planets into galleries to make it easier on everyone.
Enjoy and let me know what you think.

New textures are up on the website.
I have the hand of the terran effects now i just need to work on blending the water to land mass transition better.

Thank you mith, that helps.
So in game they should look 1/2 way decent though.
and feed back on how to improve them?
Thanks a lot for that pic.

Er, i also forgot ask.
Are those barren planets alright? i mean i can change the coloring, To a sort of off grey blue like in ds (and other colors) but in general are they acceptable.
