Planet mesh request - Scifi-Meshes.com

GraphicContent · 07-12-2008, 08:31 PM

Does anyone have/could someone create a mesh of an original planet that I could use for a project? Don't care what it looks like, as long as it isn't a RL planet or one that's appeared in any sci-fi series or movie.

Forgot to mention that I need a Blender mesh.

I usually start making a planet with the sphere primitive.

Usually we paint/texture planets (there is a few tutorials in the member's tut section, one by me infact, that deal with the 3D aspect in Blender too). To actually mesh a planet are night impossible due to the shear amount of polys and detail it will requite, but there are middle grounds to that too.

Sphere for the planet with a bump map, sphere with a displacement modifier (in Max) for the clouds to give them depth and a sphere for the atmosphere if desired. Fairly straight forward really and it looks like this in the end:

I make all my Planets as Meshes, the secret is to find the right Balance of Lighting and Texture-Adjustments, and you need some High-Resolution Textures.

I think there need to be a definition of -mesh- in this thread soon.

If we give something to someone then they have it for that one instance. If we teach them how to do it themselves instead then they can make whatever they want whenever they need to

Hey guys, sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to 3D graphics design.

Get busy learnin, you won't learn anything unless you try it and making planets is one the easier things to learn.
