... a quick inspiration from this thread: http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=8393.0
The Jupiter map appears a little washed out....
The nearby planet however came out nicely. No wonder, the global clouds are an early version of nvseal's global clouds. By the way, the entire image rendered in just 8 min 30 sec. Wow!

aaargh, I forgot to set the center for the jupiter map to the center of the jupiter planet :(
correction coming...
corrected version
Nice render Frank...
I wonder how long does it take to render ??
I've noticed a difference in time of 25 min 11:33 --<> 11:56 between the first and the second post...

Just plain AWEsome, Frank. Could be a Hubble shot! Wonderful light and texture. Linda

Both are beautiful shots Frank. I know the second image is what you were striving for, but I always prefer the accidents when they turn out well.

It rendered for 8 min 30 sec, as I wrote in the first post ;)
The seccond render took also 8 min and something.
Maybe if I have time I play with the scene a little more and render at 4000px
Cheers,
Frank
2nd is much better aye - great concept and well-executed!
That's a very nice planet :) Sweet rendertime as well ;D
I've NEVER done an orbital render with TG2 as far as I can recall...so I'm going to ask a stupid question: do you render this with GI? Yes, for the clouds, is the only reason I can think of.
Cheers,

I have tried a couple times. They really sucked... ::)

I am also going to ask a stupid question. By the center of the planet what do you mean? Please give an example?!?!?!?! ???

He means that you have to use the exact same coordinates which define the centre of the planet you wish to texture-map.
If you click on the planet-node you'll see a set of 3 coordinates. Copy these coordinates to the imagemap shader and the spherical projection will be mapped correctly.

Geez, that was easy enough :P Thanks Martin!!!
Turned out great. I only wonder why Jupiter moved from right to left? :-[
... exchanged the complete foreground planet with nvseal's planet and rendering right now at 6000px wide - not ready yet, but WOW this looks amazing. Should be ready in 3 hours or so.
TG2 currently consumes roughly 3GB memory.

Can't wait to see the full res version of this :)
... and here it is: http://nwda.deviantart.com/art/Good-Morning-Jupiter-148192145
woaahhhh!
So cool 8) I really like those parts where you can see the clouds floating because of their cast shadow on the terrain, together with the patches of high mountains a great sense of depth ;D
Nice work, Frank. Space scenes are always cool :).
Nice image , Frank
Kadri.
It's so big, I can't see but a tiny portion on the monitor. (It's set at 1024 x 768 now) The protions look great! ;)
here's a reduced size version for you to better see this as a whole :)
:) 8)
I'm speechless! The clouds look fantastic.
Pure awesomeness! :o Thanks also for the reduced version, it's a little handier as a wallpaper. Even the 30" monitor I want to buy next year "only" has 2560x1600. Dunno how to display this thing in all it's glory at once. ;)
Try Display Fusion from Binary Fortress. I use it. It's a fantastic wall paper changer. It now supports multi-monitor setups, enhances window functions, multiple task bars, etc.
