Description
This is a weird project I've been fooling around with. I'm working on making textures that will allow me to make decent-looking planets in Bryce that won't need large amounts of post working to make them usable.
Which somehow ended up here. Textures created in Photoshop, imported to Bryce and wrapped around simple spheres, then brought back into Photoshop, where the star field, nebula, atmosphere, and faint rings were all added together.
So much for reducing the postwork!

Very cool work on this, Mike! It looks every bit as good as the artist's concepts I've seen on NASA'a website. As many new planets as they seem to be discovering around distant stars, this should have a good chance of being an accurate representation. Excellent work!

uh-huh! Excellent work! I see that T.N.A is already interested

Nice work! The big planet looks like an image of a brown dwarf with burning metals down below and black smoke clouds above.

Very nice gas giant ! Isn't the moon a little big ?

Really nice work! I don't know Bryce, so can't really help you on that software, but a mix between image and procedural textures generally provides good results. ;)

I think Mutos2 above is forgetting that the viewer is much closer to the moon than to the gas giant planet. Nice work on the texturing.

See what I mean? I'll never understand. Heck, I can barely follow the written format. All the same, I'm perfectly content to let it remain a mystery, and just admire them instead. Hope you're doing well! :)

Very great creation/composition !
