Seems like the skybox is the main focus here.....

No way! The planet shader rocks harder than diamond! I had just been struggling with hand painting a space skybox and thought this was a great opportunity to ask.

BTW, you releasing this one when you finish it???

Yes

It's up in the first post.

Dude! That is so awesome

Thanks, but I reuploaded it now, tangents were not computed correctly (XNA and Rad does it differently) so you got a pulsating light effect depending on where you view the planet mesh...
It should be fixed now.

Wow.

This is very impressive shadmar. I need to start learning some shader stuff!

Thanks for the skybox btw.

Out of interest, how come the rotation is so jumpy in the demo?

This is awesome!
Whats with the seam? Is it just me? It's just to the right of the red line and is rotating with the cloud layer.

@chebob
Poorly written cam script I guess

@deebee
This might be a seam in the cloud texture, not sure why it's visible. I'll see if I can get rid of it.

other than the cam(which is nothing major), it looks fantastic shadmar, even better than the pics, really great!!! especially like the city light on the darkside of the earth...awsome.
the cam orbited a bit smoother when i held left click down in the object list side of the screen.

awsome man ! keep it up shad

shadmar · « **Reply #25 on:** April 16, 2010, 01:43:14 PM »

Small update to the cam script.
It should be all smooth now + zooming fixed.
Just replace this with the old .3dr

A nice screenshot of the shader put to use:
