Nice! Eight planets in the Solar System - two down, six to go for the Grand Tour!

[another_commander]

Three down - you forgot Jupiter from the Progress thread.

[Cody]

So I did, Admiral! It'd make a nice OXP, would the Grand Tour! I look forward to Mercury!

Just fooling around with shaders and Mars textures...

Evidence of water on mars?

[another_commander]

More experimentation with Mars. I love that place...

... and we've just passed the Olympus Mons...


Sunsets and sunrises on Mars are blue.


Valles Marineris once again.


Mountains of Mars.

Mars is beautifull.

Heightfield as normalmap?

4k LaveIsMars ?

[another_commander]

Sorry for bombarding you with Mars, but I think this one has turned out really, really well and just wanted to share it.



I think this is the texture set I'll settle with. If I can, I will try to get an OXP out during the weekend, which will replace Tionisla with Mars in 8k. A 4k texture pack may also come out separately.

The dark valleys and hazy, sand-coloured atmospheric edge look great.

Failing drivers I believe nevertheless some ( special ) screenshots

Looks great, apart from the issue with the hyper-lit night side. What happens if you invert the alpha channel of the diffuse map? Does this fix the problem>

[phkb]

I had that happen on my rig. Had to disable Povray planets to fix it.

8k with reversed alpha channel



4k with reversed alpha channel





8k original diffuse with reversed alpha channel normalmap texture




8k original without povray planets



Thank you phkb !

[phkb]

Yay!!

Revisiting Mars in all its glory...
