It actually looks better up close...and I don't get to say that much about planets :D

I wonder how you get such realistic "thickness" to the clouds...is it really as simple as using the exact same cloud-image to drive the "bumpiness" in the material editor? when I do it usually looks quite gritty or noisy. Unless you make a slightly blurred version of it for the bumps :O

I set the bump map at .003 or .005 in Vue. you just need a little bit to lower that noise. but the detail thickness comes from dark grays to white ranges you create in photoshop. most clouds maps you would get on the internet are just off white to white that only gives you very little to work with in bump image depth. also you need a very large canvas in photoshop to start with. photoshop has up to 30000 pixels range. If you don't want to go that high go at least 10,000 pixels. hope this helps.

Hmm, I guess I'd just have to try and create higher resolution ones. But anything above 8000 pixels is out of my range for now :dohtwo:
