Ok but this isn't a place to talk about that. This is a place to post screenshots from Celestia, so please stay on topic with the subject.

I wouldn't even use it anyway. It's too low quality for my use. I'm better off making one from scratch based off data.

Fyr02's Proxima Centauri b, but with a new tidal-locked planet cloud map that I had just finished:

This actually got me curious, and I decided to use Grand Designer (the software that cubic used to make his star textures) to make some procedurally generated Io-like textures (which are not gonna be released as this is a test). Here are the results: Io-Like1.png Io-Like2.png I wasn't able to have s...

Eris & DysnomiaTextures made in Grand Designer & edited in Photoshop.

I feel like I should do more of these prehistoric Earths. I would have to spend hours to make custom height maps (that include the sea floor), but the results would most likely pay off.

Yeah the answer is no.

Earth during the Jurassic period (addon will not be released)This was made using Grand Designer, Photoshop, Filter Forge, and a bump map made by Kexitt on Deviantart, which sadly is no longer available.

Oh shoot I forgot it's the 20th anniversary lol.

Nice, it kind of reminds me of some of my older (and crappier) HD Neptune textures, including one I recently updated to my liking. Something I really want to know though, is how did you do the clouds? They're beautiful!

For a comparison, here's an 8k Jupiter texture I made a while back that uses that one texture by Master-Bit on Deviantart, along with some 2019 Hubble data, some Cassini data to make the storms more HD, and actual mosaics of the planet from Juno (processed by Björn Jónsson). I also have moving jet s...

I think the texture looked better before you edited the red spot, because in the new one, it sticks out like a sore thumb when it comes to contrast.

That's just Kexitt's Pluto texture but edited. The original textures can be found here:

Very nice! Added after 33 minutes 50 seconds: Is this from a new source image? Actually, it's this texture: https://www.deviantart.com/master-bit/art/16K-Jupiter-texture-map-695831452 It uses 3 other Jupiter textures (using data from Voyager 1 in 1979, Cassini in 2000, and Hubble in 2015) mixed tog...

The unfortunate thing about the Lylat system is that there is no official layout or order of the planets. All we know is that Macbeth is the closest to Lylat, and that there is an asteroid belt between Corneria and Fortuna.

So a while ago, I had decided that I would try and make the Lylat system from the Star Fox video game series. I had put the project on hold after adding in 4 of the planets, but I'm considering on returning to it (It even features cubicApocalypse's lens flare sprites for Lylat). The system so far: L...

So after being on my Celestia hiatus, I decided that it was time to post a new pic, so here's a screenshot of Planet 9 (my version) in the recently released Celestia 1.6.2:

So since Celestia 1.6.2 has finally been released, I will eventually return to this addon after my hiatus and make it for 1.6.2.
