The best way of making a spherical texture I found for now is drawing on a sphere in ZBrush (amazing tool by the way) - that gives me a big, single texture I can use right away on a standard UV-mapped sphere. But how to do a really hi-res planet ? The texture resolution is an obvious limitation in this techniqe. I could split the UV coords of the sphere in a few parts and make separate textures, but it would be much harder to create them without visible seams. Could you give a little hint about the technique you use to make these beautiful planets in X3 ?<BR/><BR/>Thank you!Scorpiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12560449104191545549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984309309912707310.post-87241452380177565932008-10-08T04:06:00.000-07:002008-10-08T04:06:00.000-07:00'for normal X3 planets we use a technique to circumvent [the texture resolution] limitation'<BR/><BR/>surely not ;)<BR/><BR/>looks great though!Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11307561797611598347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984309309912707310.post-13878267443502772222008-10-03T12:36:00.000-07:002008-10-03T12:36:00.000-07:00It looks cool.Dr Chewbaccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14035957839171458611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984309309912707310.post-4819750765492941632008-09-25T14:09:00.000-07:002008-09-25T14:09:00.000-07:00I can't waitrasmus_snoerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09824277846583175594noreply@blogger.com
