Star Wars fan, creating detailed equirectangular planet textures for planetariums and various mod efforts. Special thanks to the Yuuzhan Vong at War team, Burntstrobe and Doci.sbar in particular, for their help in getting my process started. Creator of the Planets of Star Wars: the unofficial Star Wars expansion for the Digistar planetarium platform. My planets are completely free to use for anyone, and I encourage their distribution. My goal is to create a one-stop-shop for planets. My only stipulation: ** These planets are to be used for strictly NON-PROFIT projects. ** Don't take credit (and money) when you don't deserve it. Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. I've largely stopped posted on ModDb and migrated my library to CGTrader to accommodate more users. My latest updates are also posted on ArtStation and DeviantArt.
Still slowly working on volcanic planets, but in the meantime I wanted to crank out a few more desert worlds. Used a few new techniques with these guys, especially with #8 - less reliance on noise and more by-hand painting and seam removal. Took a lot longer to make (#7 took about 8 solid hours, and I could still spend more time on it), but the results I believe are far more personalized. These were not made to resemble any planets in particular, but just some varied designs.
Each planet has three different city light configurations: Urban, Rural, and Metropolis.
Texture Resolutions: 8000x4000
