Make Your own Solar Systems using Photoshop/Paint/ etc.
« on: July 03, 2009, 02:01:19 PM »
Here's mine with Photoshop. I think this is the best one I made! It's a binary star system. It contains 7 planets (Only 3 is shown, 1 is a moon) The star below is actually a supernova. So it isn't a triplet.

This looks so amazing I was thinking why don't 3D artists use photoshop, paint, or other programs like that?

And another! The system is a binary that consist a red giant star and a white dwarf star (Kind of like Siruis). The system contains 6 planets, but 2 is eaten from the red giant.

Wow, they're beautiful! :O
But hmm... Aren't there too many/too big pictures of planets on the picture, concidering their size compared to the distance between them?
Anyways, they look amazing. :)

Some planets may engulf if the suns continues its present progress. After some billion years. the solar system may be dead.

Why did you post this here, Monmafori? We aren't talking about the death of the stars...

3D artists will often use photoshop to create the textures for their models and then use it again to touch up a rendered scene.

Beautiful, but I still say there are a little bit too many objects. :P
The white and blue things in the left side are strange. ???
But still some very good graphics which I wouldn't be able to make. :)

Paint should come on any Windows computer.

Look in the Start Menu > All Programs > Acsecories > Paint

Please do not discuss pirating software here.

Here are 5 free online image editors that are all better than paint (that comes with Windows):
