My advice to you billy, is instead of trying to create textures from scratch, which is insanely hard to do (I dont do it) But use textures of dirt and ground and such and modify it to your liking. http://sxc.hu is a good site for stocks and textures
Hey billy when you return to this thread tell me your oppinion on my signature (it's the 1 post up before SirCharles >> but i don't think you're that blind)
i kinda prefer mine, but maybe thats just cause the metalic text took like an hour to get right and i also like the viewpoint being on the atmospheric, dark side of the planet, but thats just my opinion
wow you are pretty good at these planets If you are bored I have a little request. I would like a gas planet similar to saturn. Rings and a good amount of moons. 3+ I want to see how it would come out
