Second attempt is better.. ;) Still needs some work on it though.. The kind of work I can't explain to you.. :p

Yes you still needs work, hmm your texture doesent look very realistic and very painting. how do you do it with brushes?

nice... i see ur really into this... cant wait for a 3rd attempt... if the 2nd attempt is this.. then the 3rd wud be amazin

yeah i use brushes then i do some other stuff i think somefilter then levels or something to give it depth and i see what you mean by painting i spose i was trying to make different types of land and yeah it came out odd

Hmm, i think you should make you self a very large texture by mixing togehter photos, and then you should make the round selection spherize 2 times on 100 and then re-size the planet so that quality goes up this looks like, a painting to me, not so much going for realistic

well i actually just took a normal round sofrbrush and a rocky planetary surface and put it as a texture for the brush and painted ..... but the thing is my texture isn't my own so i'll try to create one and go from there for something more customized

A quick tip, Make a planet TWICE the size you really want it, then down size it.

It will greatly increase the quality ;)
