Here it is, i spent all day working on the surface coloring and i think it's coming along nicely, the atmo could use some work and i NEED to add clouds buts thats for later, right now i'm perfecting the surface.

any and all comments are welcome ;D

Good job with the pole and the mountain ranges.
Coming along well.

Pretty decent overall.  What is that horizontal white range (mountains) in the middle?  It seems to be out of place.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

darthvader

yep, thats mountains, i think i'm gonna tweak them or just get rid of them all together, thanks for your input :)

Looking good so far. 

Maybe make the land a little more arid near the equator.

mabye...but i kinda want it to be a mostly jungle planet. Also i'm definatly adding some fatty saturn-like rings to it to make it more interesting, still haven started on the clouds, but i'm getting there

darthvader

ok here is a quick seven minute render of the planet with some rings, they need some work, creater density, smaller object size etc, but its a start and i think it will turn out cool

Good start.  I agree about the density of the rock rings.

Something to think in the future, when you have more time to think about such things, is why are those rings there when the planet looks so full of life.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

darthvader

thanks for the question Calico, i'll ponder it awhile... or I'll just wikipedia the subject :D Anyways here is another picture with denser rings and their color made blueish to try and resemble ice. I really like where it's going but i think I might try breaking up the image masks into several set to try and get bands of different color.

Nice work so far. Rings have always seemed to escape me. Mind sharing how you are making them?

darthvader

I wish it was me who discovered how to do this, I actually just found a thread about rings somewhere in the forum and inserted a custom image mask to shave the rings, here is a link

Neat! my only point of critique is that there seems to be a bit to much colour variety on the seas. I don't know what you're aiming for, but to me it just feels odd.
