I've been trying to make realistic planetary terrain maps for ages and it's never worked out D:

Thanks Auroya! Well, I actually don't know. No, really...

We have this guy on JG named Jacoby who is this forum legend when it comes paper soldiers and stuff. That planet is actually his realistic version of a JG map, like one of those pixelated ones you see where people put their nations. I have no idea how he did it, but it's damn realistic and all I did was rap it around a planet.

need something that's metro 2033/stalker like, basically grey with bits of dull green and blue and maybe red

Boom. Here you go Torr... I even named it after you.

Guys, someone suggested me to make an actual storefront like this, no really.

Like, an FT company that makes planets for other sci-fi nations, so like if your planet blows up we can make another for you. Just imagine how many trillions it would cost, but I could honestly do it.
Also, I just want to state that all these planets are different, they aren't just a picture I found on the internet and say, change the color of it every time.

ayy

awesome thanks man

Are you doing custom planets now?

I'm totally down for having a planet that is mostly water with a lot of little islands. That would be nice.

Er, is this good?

I hope they're not too big, I tried looking for the texture for some islands, but was unsuccessful. To make up for it I added stars and a little moon for you.

I actually made some more for some people on chat, this is the region Hemithea:

And apparently the part that you see there is intensely at war, so I was told to also do this:

And finally, last but not least...

An experiment:

I think I'm done for now, sorry for all the pics.

I would like an Earth Mk II with Fjords in Africa

Instantly thought of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reading that. Also you don't have to make that planet

But you can't see the stars when looking directly at a planet...

Dude, that's literally the last bit of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

@Paragania: How do you make these planets? I'm sure that some of us would like to learn what tools you use.

Thanks, I've been doing them all day, want to move onto something else.

I know, it was purely for effects.

And yeah, I know it's the end bit of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

I use Paint.NET, and only Paint.NET.

However, you're going to need this extension for PDN to make a planet/3D object:

http://mkt.t-cat.biz/pdn/3.htm#3

You can do cubes, cylinders and of course spheres.

Once you have that, paste in your texture for your planet. Then go Effects/Render/Shape3D.

Then you have your 3D sphere. Click render once you've decided how you want it.

And then you have your planet. I did the same thing with a large cloud texture for clouds and created a new layer which I pasted them over and set the blend mode for it to be "Lighten" which only uses the lightest parts of the layer.

As for other visual effects, I used a lot of things. I'm going to give out my actual Paint.NET files, all you have to do is save them and open them with Paint.NET and all the layers are there.

Please, try goofing around with them, and make your own planets. I'd love to see what you guys come up with.

Well then, after cleaning up some old projects, I decided to finish up some shit for a buddy in Sapphire; the Kaizerreich of Deutschestag's first of several equipment bits.

The old Khornatenreich MG58 in use under a new banner.

I should try out that PDM add-on. I'll maybe do it later.

Decided to give that gull-wing aircraft another chance. How does it hold up to my other fighter?

Could I make a small request to anyone that can do JG front on figures? Would someone be able to do a front on Ssh-68 helmet for me? I've been trying for a while, and I cant make (despite my best efforts, all look shit) or find any.

Thanks! Your's or did you find it somewhere? I'll need to credit the maker you see.

I did a planet for spergmanship years ago but we didn't have fancy "extensions" back then.

The clouds suck.

I'll credit you when I do it properly, I still have a few more to go, before I make a sheet, and Orbats.

Credit to Soode for the template.

Also, black reflective goggles make drawing 1:1 faces a lot easier.

Some nerd asked me to draw a soldier so I did.

Nirvashi infantrywoman, future tech
This soldier fights for Nirvash at some point in the early-to-mid 3rd millenium. Her powered armour features a durable exterior, a reinforced pauldron for "shoulder bash" attacks, and a short-range flamethrower with which to deter particularly aggressive foes.

Tried making a light mech for the JG game, I think it came out alright.

Also question:

Can anyone here help me with a storefront? I've been really thinking recently to make one for all those hundreds of vehicles I've made, and I've seen some really impressive storefronts and I was wondering if there is someone here who is an expert on them.

Not wanting the section MG to run out of ammo?
