I just started using GIMP and tried making some planets. Tell me what you think of them.(How's that background coming, illusionist? tongue )

My first, blue earthlike planet.

My second: An orange, gas giant planet.

Please offer constructive feedback! smile

EDIT: Because people have been requesting: Yes, I take requests.

Those are good. I could use those on a wiki... It's not my wiki, and it needs planet pictures. Can you make some that you can see at least most of the planet?

I'll try. What characteristics of the planet?

How did you edit them?

Just make random ones tongue

We don't have any details for most of the planets yet.

Here:

You can see most of the planet, but still with shadow.

If I look down on my screen, I can see the contrast between the foreground and the background.

I even mentioned you in it.

Let me guess, you used the GIMP tutorial on...forgot the site. But you downloaded that thing that automatically makes it, then you add pzazz? Yeah, I do that a lot. Great job big_smile

illusionist · 2010-02-27 15:34:20

Good! Very realistic! but the atmosphere looks a bit too thick and cartoony...

juststickman · 2010-02-27 15:34:42

Did you make that from scratch (not program, I am really getting annoyed by this accidental pun now)?

Can you make a planet for me?

I want a planet that is about half covered in water, with lots of forests. Lots of islands, and a random desert!

If not, I'll try to make one with sketchup.

Wow... that Earth-like one is incredible. yikes

Did you make the islands and such completely by yourself?

Greatdane · 2010-02-28 09:56:57

I use a generator in GIMP for the atmosphere, but I am the one who controls the texture, atmosphere density, shadow, etc.

I have yet to learn how to make the shadow smaller. tongue

I got lost on that tutorial because I couldn't copy-paste the "shadow mask" to the layer mask of the "planet atmosphere" any ideas for help? hmm

Dazachi · 2010-02-28 21:42:40

Wait, so you used GIMP for these?
