This is my first ever Terraspace. The terrain is rubbish, I'm terrible with Terragen (learning though), I'm very pleased with how the space scene turned out though.
Link.

Commented etc .

Perdy.

Very nice for a first. It does not really matter, but I think the text stands out too much.

It's nice for a first indeed.
But the planets don't look realistic.

Awesome!

i agree, they look too crisp or somethin

i cant really put my finger on it


BUT it looks great, very nice job keep at it

I like it a lot.. the planets do look a bit sketchy.. but do you think you could hook me up w/ a good planet tutorial? If you could PM it to me it would be great.

I actually think the terrain looks cool. The mountains do look a bit outta place, but the texture on the ground/water is so awesome.

Try to find Alyn's planet tutorial on DeviantART.

i have no bad comment, it looks great

It's the texture used.
I know of the tutorial he used, it tells you to use a rock as a texture, which does work don't get me wrong, but it doesn't give you realism.

THC: You should use satellite photos.
Grab like five and paste them all on one canvas and blend them into each other.
Works so well.

It is, that's why I use satellite images.
If you get the feel for that procedure then your going to be great with planets.

The only hard thing about that tutorial is the colouring, in my opinion
With satellite images the colouring is pretty much the easy part.
Get the planet looking how you want then you can Ctrl+B it. Then because all the satellite images you used are different colours (but are similar - we don't want a multi-colour planet) we get some good variations instead of a mono-chromatic planet.

The only thing I don't like is the clouds.

Awsome! I really like it, the ground looks real

Imo i think u need more solid land mass it will help it look more realistic...

cuase it looks like 10 billion islands.

Alright, I've been working with satellite photos and after some manipulation I've ended up with this. I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out, although I could have made the features smaller, which I will do next time around.

Every one of you staff guys are sig people... where are the modders!?

I know, it's sad. I really need to start modding CE again.
