My first planet. What do you think?
Tell us more… is it UV mapped? Is it anywhere we might know? Can we get directions?
I have no idea if you have used this tutorial or not but have a look at it anyway… http://www.enricovalenza.com/realplan.html
It quite interesting, hope you find it useful. 
It looks good so far, Im guessing youv used a bump map for the nor channel and a image with no uv mapping, a texture from…(website- cant remember the name of)
The clouds look a little odd . . . being stretched from pole to pole.
the problem is to find good clouds textures. Do you know some good links?
I followed EnV’s tutorial but my planet is a bit different from.
thanks for the Comments
Clouds look much better now. . .
BTW . . . how did you get the 3d look in the clouds (ie height and casting shadows on planet)?
I made 3 different spheres (planets): 1 with the terrain texture, 1 (bigger) with the cloud material (obviously with transparency and alpha), 1 (bigger) with a fresnel material.
Like it Piro, will put it in Battalion Online 
thanx alex.
updated also the starship.
