This is realy great
The only thing I can think of is that the mountains looks a little flat.
If you could make them a little higher it would be perfect.

Well, the thing with the mountains is that they are not real. Everything on the planet surface is just 2d surface shaders to add a background for the clouds.
So I can't make them any higher.

just throw in a planet shader, they tend to work for things like that.

The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

I added a new cloud layer for some very small popcorm clouds in close up shots. It took 24 hr. to render though.
Try to ignore the overly huge atmosphere that I forgot to change

And a completely new version fo the procedural cloud file I've been working on.
I don't know what's up with the black spots on the back of the planet; I'll have to look into those.

Wow! That second test is really stunning! You've come a really long way with this - could you share this new .tgd file?

Sure, here it is. Just so you're warned, I found some banding issues at higher resolutions and closer camera positions.

Eh... banding is OK - I'll just wait to use it in a real image until a fix comes out

That's what I was thinking as well. I'm afraid this project will not be able to reach its full potential until an update. Oshyan, are these banding issues going to be addressed in the next update?

Not likely in the next update. I recall there was a workaround that wasn't too bad, but I don't remember the details . Anyone?

Another image of the version 2 clouds. This should be my last one for now. Until the banding issues are fixed, this version is really only good for distant shots such as this. And I was playing with planet colors in the planet shader so try to ignore that terrible surfacing.

Again, very nice clouds. This is really impressive work overall.
