| Quote (SpaceEngineer) Darkening of driven (leading) hemisphere of icy moons is caused by extra radiation generated by gas giant's magnetosphere. Magnetosphere is rotating with planet in the same direction as normal (prograde) satellites, but usually faster than them. So particles captured by magnetosphere being accelerated and bomb the driven hemisphere, making it darker. Retrograde satellites and prograde that rotate faster than a planet (like Phobos) will have the leader hemisphere darker. SE has a script/editor option that controls darkening - "drivenDarkening".
It is your attention to details such as this that makes me so impressed with Space Engine. 
That and just how beautiful it looks.

| Solaris, I would not have thought it possible for you to get even better than you already were at making screenshots, but it seems that you have done just that. Very beautiful images!

| @ Solaris: I was asking about the LOD though, just wondering what was used.

| The earth looks like a mess procedurally generated, no wonder it's lifeless.
For Jupiter, did you forget to turn clouds back on? It still looks like Jupiter though, just with a somewhat different cloud band configuration.
The glitch with mars is definetly strange though....

Nope it is generating clouds. I checked while in game, there is a thin cloud layer.

Yeah my thoughts exactly as I did it exactly the same as Earth and Venus.

| No Conquesti, I never use photoshop or edit the planet of the pics I post into this thread, I only use the in game graphic settings of SE.
RS 0-2-20-133-7318-7-1890832-50 B5.4, the colors should be the same, for the contrast, try disable real planet brightness (Ctrl+F4 for graphics window)
