I have an idea for you... Make a desert planet part of an asteroid belt surrounded by sandy asteroids. And name it.. "Dustia".

Is there a way to make planets in vue? Like how you make yours?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

hoevelkamp In reply to sexyhello [2012-09-18 08:41:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, sure there is. Works mostly like in 3ds max. The only thing I don't know how to do is the atmosphere, but you can add that in Photoshop postwork. You have all the same maps and create a material from them. Like in 3ds max you need a sphere for land/ocean and another sphere for clouds and there is a way to add the atmosphere on a third sphere I think but you really should ask one of the many Vue users here on DA.

sexyhello In reply to hoevelkamp [2012-09-18 15:12:09 +0000 UTC]

Okay :) (Smile) , thank you very much though... I'm sure I can figure out the atmosphere on my own if not then I definitely will

np :D (Big Grin) Any chance on getting that globe in size 300? Than it would fit perfectly with my desktop settings. ;) (Wink)

Crosseout In reply to hoevelkamp [2012-07-22 20:00:23 +0000 UTC]

Well, I can't just scale it due to the way rainmeter rotates images; you can resize every image to 300px and edit the skins ImageW and ImageH to 300. It would double the size in the rmskin to include an extra sizeversion though, thats why I don't :) (Smile)

hoevelkamp In reply to Crosseout [2012-07-23 05:02:37 +0000 UTC]

All right, cool. So simply resizing the pics and editiing these two values will do the trick? I thought it would be more complicated than that. :D (Big Grin) Thanks a lot for the info.

Crosseout In reply to hoevelkamp [2012-07-23 23:00:11 +0000 UTC]

should do the trick; if not you'll have to adjust the x and y position of [map]; though I don't think that will be necessary(;
For resizing the images you can use photoshops automate->batch feature :) (Smile)

I got a copy of Studio Max because of my architecture course. I left it and now use it for having fun with and was looking to do some epic imagery and came across your tutorials.

Decided to look at your work and ... wow. You're freakin' amazing! I don't know what you're paid, but I can bet it's not enough.

Ryce826 [2012-02-29 00:12:49 +0000 UTC]

I try to use photo hop cs5 to make planets but they are never really 3d. I can't get Vue or 3ds Max. Is there anything else I can use that costs less but still works similarly.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

hoevelkamp In reply to Ryce826 [2012-02-29 10:49:41 +0000 UTC]

Of course there is. Try Blender. [link] It's not really my area of expertise, but it works similar.

Oh man.. Thank you so much for your tutorials on planets. Helps a bunch, or even two bunches! I was contemplating getting into 3ds Max to get my planets as good as I see them in my head, and then I found your tutorials. Couldn't be better!

And you have a stunning gallery as well.
