Pretty cool texture, looks great!
Thanks Newbie - the trick with the clouds is to use 2 layers, with the top one 'edged in' so there's less cloud in the same places, and set it to cast shadows from one layer on down. It's almost sub pixel, but it really adds a feeling of relief to the clouds.
heh..another newbie handle (I was nu-be for awhile..;) I think you're new to the site, but your skill belies you...great work, keep it up.
very cool work, are you going to give your Earth some layers of atmosphere?
ooZENOooo - it already has three! This is realitively high altitude, so its a more subtle effect than you see from the shuttle. If you look closely you should see a distinct brightening along the limb...
I agree with ZENO, the effect of your three layers regardless of accuracy is doing very little for the overall effect. Just give it a try. :o)
