I tried my hand at a starfield. I've always wanted to know how to do this stuff. Good find, Zig <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You forgot the step where you rotate the large stars layer <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Wee. This is fun. Found the tutorial a while ago but never tried it till today. Planets look pretty when you do them like this guy.

That planet/moon/whatever is pretty boss. Seriously, I think it looks excellent.

The star field needs work, though. It looks like you quit about halfway through the tutorial. :/

PS: Holy crap! Either Dubbilex or A Boojum Snark just won this thread. I'm not sure which though. We'll have to put them in the battledome.

One thing: if your planet has water, you're going to need some cloud cover.

Coulds!! I knew something looked wrong... /me goes off to try to make nice clouds

When you add a starfield, remember to think about the lightsources on your planet. If the bright part of the starfield is to the bottom left the planet wont be highlighted at the top <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm near positive that your problem is that the glow is still an effect. As the tutorial says, create a new (blank) layer, and merge it with the atmoshpere layer.

Esuna helped me , got it sorted , finished it and it still looked like crap <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Add a new layer and merge it with the atmoshpere layer to make it editable?

Edit: My 2nd planet, with an attempt at clouds. If I get around to adding a starfield, I'll edit this post.

Yes, but the bright areas of the starfield are still so very far away they arent going to be casting light on the planet. Most of these have the light-giving star of the system off the screen.
