I decided to remove all the surface/clouds/atmosphere information for our solar system but leave the basic info in place to see what they would all look like when completely procedurally generated.

The results

Mercury

Venus

Earth

Moon

Mars (this makes no sense as it has no generated atmosphere but is listed as a terra wacko )

Jupiter


May do others later to see results, might leave Saturn's rings in place though. Still a neat thing to try out.

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)

Just imagine waking up to this sunrise


Same system also has 2 densely packed asteroid belts.

And different system but by far my favorite gas giant

Location for gas giant HD 184889 3

Messed around with the Gas Giant shader files to see what I could do.

After images are in spoiler tags






Some minor issues but I think it looks much nicer.

Impressive, especially that first one! You should post the modified shader files smile

Maybe it isn't anything complex that I did. I just started mixing shaders together from clouds, gas giants, and then found one that looked decent enough.

Here are a multitude of gas giants you can find using that setup





I just wish I could figure out a way to make the cyclones look better. I can remove them entirely but then gas giants look a bit boring.

Please post the shader code? I would love to use it, and I don't really feel like manually trying to tweak it right now.

Here's a shot from the same planet, no filters or anything. I really like this video card, LOD 2 and varies between 30 and 60 fps at 2560x1600 biggrin

Yeah I know enough with the gas giants, but I went back to HD 184889 3 to see how it looks with that setup.

Still purple and still my favorite

I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.
