I always find flares the hardest thing in trueSpace to make look good. I love the way the earth looks. Very clockwork style (Like the planets in the game Spore), but if you want realism, I believe there's a very good texture for the earth with clouds already, then add a second, slightly larger sphere around the edge and give it the glow transparency (white). Obviously it depends on what you're looking for. I'm liking it though, good job. andy Post by kujisha // Jun 22, 2006, 3:33am kujisha Total Posts: 50 Thanks Andy, took some of your suggestions and now have this:) Post by hemulin // Jun 22, 2006, 4:43am hemulin Total Posts: 1058 I picked number 2; the first one just looks too fake. I still prefer the 2nd one to the most recent. I think that having a sort of 'explosion' coming out of the star is not very realistic, maybe having a sun flare a bit like this (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&hs=4vP&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&resnum=0&q=sun%20flares&spell=1&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=wi) would be better.

I don't like the too bumpy texture of the Earth. There is no way to see such great highs and lows from a such distance?? Plus the last time I checked, the Earth was too cloudy, too. :) And much more blue... And I don't see the Moon?
