| Quote (BlueMoon) Nice, it works perfectly for me. It's probably because I have an ATI video card, too.
I tried it on an old laptop of mine with an ATI card and it worked perfectly as well. I think the shader is read a bit differently on ATI so such a high setting doesn't ruin the planet.
You can also edit these 2 lines to mix up the way the gas giants look.
Code
twistedPoint *= 666.0 + 5.0 * turbulence;
twistedPoint.y *= 735.0 + turbulence * twistMagn;
Also updated the first post in thread with the value reset to 10.0 on the Octave thing. I found in debug mode if I reload the shader with that it is no different than 99.9

| I did a cache reset and... nothing happened, so it looks like it's safe to clean out the cache, but probably not neccesary.
Also, it'd be nice if there were some more variety in the jupiter style gas giants and have the detail that there was before.
I've seen a few greyscale gas giants, but they were in a system with other gas giants of a more normal color. Theres also some brownish gas giants, but then again, Jupiter is brownish anyway.
This one is kind of neat looking, but it looks kind of washed out of color. Then again, it's orbiting a red dwarf.
Edit: This is what I mean by greyscale gas giants.
I loaded up the backup briefly to see what it would normally look like (and help track down which one is the problem).
Edit: And another with modded and unmodded. Also, the rings seem to be flipped in the modded version.

| That greyscale thing is to be expected and I noticed that about the rings before I posted it. What I did is not a new shader at all. I just put the height shader inside the color shader file. I didn't even expect it to work really, but it did and i liked the effect and Harb. asked me to post it.
I plan on learning more about how shaders function, but until then this is the best it is going to be from me.

| Theres nothing wrong with the flipped rings really, I was just making an observation.

| Cool, so the variety would be back in I bet?
Also, did you check out the cause of the greyscale shaded gas giants?

| Looks good, Harb. wanted me to ask about that.
I may also take a look at that one and tweak it a bit

I guess it was the same mistake as Doc did in the terrestrial planets clouds shader: ignoring GetSurfaceColor() function.

| I love the variety that's back in 
Maybe this one is a little too neon? I don't know.
Not sure if this one is greyscale or more of a 'brownscale', but it's different. The orange dwarf might be tinting it a bit anyway.

| So this is going to be in the official game? Allow me to soil myself in awe.
Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

Yeah thats no good
Here is a link to his and mine. For mine you will need his color file. Messed up on the archive, dragged and dropped wrong shader files into the archive. Changed link to just my height, his color is on next page.

| ^Are you sure SE's file is in there? Because it's called tg_gasgiant_col.glsl in his post, but there's only tg_clouds_color.glsl and height in the folder.
