Once again you have decimated all amazing work chap! Looking forward to seeing how you handled the atmosphere stuff, very differently to mine no doubt!
Brace yourselves for a knowledge injection community
Thanks for all of the support everyone! I am excited about getting out to everyone

is awesome as usual JB.
I’m trying to imagine ancillary uses for . Could it be used to create a cloud system for a planet… say Earth’s clouds?
…and can it do something like Saturn’s hexagon?

is a Gas System, and therefore does not follow the same mechanics as a cloud system on a solid planet such as earth. (Keep your eyes open though, I am planning on developing a terrestrial planet kit in the future).
In regards to Saturn’s poles, is one of the features I am currently implementing. It will allow the user to have advanced controls over storm systems at the poles.
Hell … I can’t keep up with you … just finished playing with the other pack and now you are doing one … good job as usual. I am looking forward to one as well. 8-}
I finally got around to buying your Star Starter Kit after admiring the pics for so long. Frankly, it’s amazing (and rather mesmerizing). The Gas Planet kit will be an instant buy, I think.
I finally integrated my own versions of several Sphere formulas in order to project 2D Texture information in a 3D world-to-local coordinate system for pole projections no matter mesh orientation or distortion. was much harder than I thought, but should automatically allow the user to upload a shape of a custom storm as a texture alpha (like the hexagon storm located on Saturn), and it will properly project from world coordinates into local coordinates dependent upon the sphere volume. A bit more testing needs to be done, but it seems to be working. (Now on to integrating some fluid dynamics and we will have the visuals of a polar storm like those seen on Saturn)
That is awesome. I was thinking about creating procedural planets myself but I have trouble with the distortion at the poles. Maybe I should put my planets on hold and see what you are up to. Well, maybe I will do mine for practice and then use the prettier ones.
