' Wrote:Well, what about making a tutorial so that others can try a hand? I've been thinking about making a few new planet textures, cause for example every second planet in disco these days is a copy of Houston... Yes that is a completely different bag of balls, but point is I can help out in the starscape department if I know how:P

Treewyrm beat me to it:)
Aye, that's how I do it, using the UTFEditor to edit the MIP nodes.

<strike>I've thought about the planet textures as well, however...</strike>

Edit: duh, didn't know you can just open/edit them with UTFEditor as well. It does seem planet editing is a bit more complicated though...

' Wrote:You can actually model custom starscapes rather than simply replacing textures, that is if you want to do something special, however that is a little more tricky given the limitations, milkshape and exporter issues. In short you can export model into .cmp with faces turned inwards and there you go. What you'll be missing is vertex channel transparency and that's currently not possible to do, at least I don't know.

Yes, I've thougt about trying out to model some myself later - I'd first like to get some experience when it comes to creating textures that fit for the systems. I guess any developer here is better at modeling those than I am though, but trying won't hurt. Thanks for the advices!

Also, those textures there are really great - as is the starsphere you modelled. I guess I've a long way to go.
