Im trying to create planets with rings for a project im working on, anyone out there have any ideas? I have tried the disk, cant seem to find it once added no matter where I view, so I'm stumped.... Would really like an explanation of how its done if anyone knows.
Thanks Freejac

I'm really new to this version and don't think I really grasp the settings yet. Could you save the settings you did and post them for me so I can see them please. I don't seem to be able to get it rite and see nothing on the camera.
Thanks
Sure, no problem. Look for it in a couple of hours. I need to get some coffee in me first.
I also just uploaded 2 OBJs over at ashundar that I have used as planetary rings

They should be approved shortly

Thanks again, only had version 2 for two days, learning curve is steep compared to the earlier version. Really appreciate it....

There are lots of tutorials, free files (cloud library is a good place to learn) and lots of willing people here. If you can't find an answer through a search, you should find someone willing to help you.

Yeah, we're short-tempered only on occasion. ;) ;D
...you should find someone willing to help you like Harvey Birdman did. ;D
Another way of saying this is - there are a lot of helpful people here.
Hey, don't single me out, man. I've sort of been trying to keep a low profile around here.
:D
Well I just wanted to let you all know I appreciate all the help, and the helpful people on this forum. I wasn't ready for the learning curve in this new version, and I'm still trying to work out all the changes. I spent last night trying to make the ring look segmented but didnt have much luck. I have to work out the coordinate system in this version so its familiar and not so intimidating. I primarily use it to relax and unwind after work ( I build MRI equipment for a living) and sometimes the stress takes a toll. Anyway, thanks again, will post some of my pics when I get them where I want them.

Heres my second attempt to make a ringed planet.... now if I can figure out how to texture all the rings it would be even better.
