Funny you should mention the atmosphere glow, I originally made it for a model of Venus, so yeah, very toxic lol.

Well, in the comics people wear masks or other protection outside.

But in the 'Hawken Live Action Trailer' they don't wear any gas maks! It's not Helghan homeworld u know:-)

BTW - any idea what happened to that live action series_

Here is a higher resolution texture for the map. A bump map and a specular map for the lights and also a cloud map.

Anyone can use these for fan art if you want to.

Thanks guys.

Hi OneHour, yes I can do an animation, it may take me a while though, what with the patch coming out tomorrow.  Erathic said that he wanted to do an animation of it as well and he has better software than me so it will probably look much better.

WOW Heart, that poster is awesome! I love the double Vulcan's. That's one seriously dangerous looking mech. I found a nice site that does free fonts from a lot of games. I used a couple for my banner. Here's the link,

You might find some useful things on it if you do more work like this.

I feel like this thread is basically:

*sandspider makes a lush, sylvan planet*
"NO SANDSPIDER. MOAR POLLUTION. MAKE IT UGLAY."
*sandspider makes the continents brown*
"OMG SANDSPIDAR. YOAR DOIN IT RONG. MORE GREEN"
*sandspider changes the continents and makes it awesome*
"DAMMIT SANDY. MAKE IT INHABITATED."
*sandspider makes cities on Illal*
"JESUS SANDSPIDER THEY CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT AN ATMOSHPERE!"
*sandspider gives it an atmosphere*
"ARE YOU STUPAD_ LESS THAN THAT YOU DERP."
*sandspider eventually gives what the viewers want*
"OH fuzzy bunny. I LOVED IT AT FIRST BUT NOW...BEAUTIFUL."


Great work Sandspider!

LOL, XD (by the way you should do it ! it's a good and fun exercise for shaders pratice )



here is the C4D if you want to play with it >> Download


had to find a tricky way to make the nigh lights only appear on the shadow side
I used a cube (wich is invisible) added a constraint that make it always look at the main light (this step is optional)
then on the night map i made 2 layers of alpha one using the texture and one proximal shader based on the cube
so now if i move the light the night lights  will always only display on the "shadow" side.

not sure if the technique is the best, but it works

also i used 4 spheres for the planet :

Surface ( diffuse + bump) 100cm diam
Night lights (used as alpha + proximal shader) 100.1cm
Cloud (used as alpha+ bump to fake the cloud shadows) 100.3 cm diam
Atmosphere (very small fresnel shader + specular) 100.4cm diam

1 volumetric light on the background to simulate the glow with better control
1 light for.. light
