Title: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: Arnstein on August 15, 2011, 04:08:11 PM: I'm thinking of trying to add custom textures to my planets, but when I search the forum I just find a few textures here and a few textures there. Can you guys link all the textures and models you find here, so I can make a list in the OP for everyone to see? If there already is a list like this, please tell me.

List:
Bla's Planetary Textures (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,1806.0.html)
FighterOwl's Custommmo Textahs (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,4398.0.html)
Terra Macrocosm (14 Planet Textures) (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,3482.0.html)
Azule,Azus,Klopis & Harier (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,4417.0.html)
A big zip-file with many planet textures as provided by karakris (http://arnsteinkleven.com/UniverseSandbox.zip) (for more info and selecting textures one by one, look at the forum posts here (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,4397.msg42134.html#msg42134)

Post by: Omnigeek6 on August 15, 2011, 08:18:28 PM: It sounds like you plan on using other users' textures and models for your planets. Don't, unless you have their explicit permission. It is neither cool nor legal.

Download GIMP (And Wilbur if you want to do Earthlike planets) and the community can help get you started on making your own textures.

Post by: Arnstein on August 16, 2011, 06:09:42 AM: What's wrong with sharing textures?
Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: atomic7732 on August 16, 2011, 06:12:16 AM: There shouldn't be anything wrong. If a user doesn't want anyone to use their textures (idk why they wouldn't) then they wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

Then why the hell would someone post a 20MB TerraTex download link? You sir, must learn that some people here are not stupid. Think. If you made custom textures then you would just not share them.

Post by: Bla on August 16, 2011, 07:48:26 AM: Here are mine. I've made three so far, and have been working slowly on a lava planet for a few months... Anyone can use them if they're useful however they want, just give credit if they're used publicly.

Bla's Planetary Textures (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,1806.0.html)

There are some other textures in that topic as well, which I didn't make.

Post by: karakris on August 24, 2011, 01:07:46 PM: Hmm - I have some three or four Apps which were Free Downloads, which I used to do Textures / Maps for most of my Planets.
We have some 26 Colonised Systems now - and around 70% have at least one Habitable Planet.
The others have Colonies on Asteroids, in Systems wihout Planets - where we are also mining Metals and Minerals

Some of these Apps you can use - to generate literally thousands of different Planetary Surfaces - but it takes some practice to know how to get the kind of results you want.

I have done some 28 Planets using one of these -
From Tundria which is very loosely like Earth in the Ice Age, Continents are different though,
Through Argos which is being Re-Terraformed after it was completely glassed by Nuclear Missiles,
Some other Planets being Terraformed,
To Panthalassa ( Omega IV ) which has 99% water coverage.

To do a Terraformed Mars, I found an Image by Browsing the Net - for Terraformed Venus, I generated one which I like.

I could freely offer all of these Images, I guess - because outside of our Sci Fi Game, they do not have any real meaning.

There are also a number of Images / Textures / Maps which are offered as Free Images from a couple of Sites.

Post by: karakris on August 25, 2011, 03:07:42 PM: @ Fiahowl

I was not trying to start a Competion - but just going along with the Spirit of the Thread.

Making all the Textures which I have - available to all.

I was also limited by the max. size of individual attachments - and the limit of four per Post.

I have three other Textures - also got from a Library source, which are too big for this Site to accept me downloading them .

Still - NVM - and any or all should be available to all who wish to use them.

44 megabytes of cool stuff. includes a few cloud maps too!

Post by: FiahOwl on August 25, 2011, 03:09:27 PM: i know we werent competing lol.

you do have some cool textures though.

Damn i wish this forum had spoilers.
Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: karakris on August 25, 2011, 03:22:39 PM: Aye - True

If yours are going for Free - some of them I could really use.
For Planet Textrues and also Planet Maps ( in Mercator's ).
They are VERY good indeed.

I realise now that I REALLY need to do more Texture / Maps for lots of my Planets.

The problem I have is that the Sci Fi Game which this is all part of ( for me ) is on a Site where -
you have to load Pics into an Album, before you can Post them -
And, there is a definite max. total limit to the number fo Pics you can put into all of your Pics Albums.
That is all rather limiting - Lol.

Still - the Game has been running since Feb. 2011, I have been G.M. since April -
we have around 14 Players,
and I have things in the pipeline for the Game, for the next 5 or 6 months at least.

Post by: Arnstein on August 25, 2011, 11:47:41 PM: Karakris, is it okay for you if I download all of the textures and make them into one zip file, then upload them to my server? Would be a lot easier than to link to all your forum posts!
Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: FiahOwl on August 26, 2011, 07:59:21 AM: you can use all my textures. they actually are all from celestia motherlode. i just compiled them so you did not have to extract 240 MB of SSC files and notes along with the textures.

and what Sci-fi game to you play?

What techniques did you use to make these?
Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: vh on August 28, 2011, 08:32:48 PM: Ehh, whut ish dis library with a billion textures
And if you make the textures yourself, could anyone show me how to do that distortion so it looks right?
Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: karakris on August 29, 2011, 03:44:56 AM: I Downloaded Textures from some Texture Libraries from the Web

These are already in Reactangular Format - see the "Planet Texture Generator" Thread
for Links to these Free Libraries.

The other ones - which I created - are from some Texture Creation Programs.

These are to be found in the "Planet Texture Generator" Thread - on here
They automatically do the distortion for a reactangular plot - like a Mercator's Projection Map - and the Map is then the right shape to use as a Tecture.
You just have to convert them to .png format - save in your texture library area. Then they can be selected for any Planet you choose - type the "Name" in, instead of say "Earth" or "Random1" etc.

For this one you have to select the Option for Generating a Planet - and select Square then Create.

This is the one I use most often -

you can use all my textures. they actually are all from celestia motherlode. i just compiled them so you did not have to extract 240 MB of SSC files and notes along with the textures.

and what Sci-fi game to you play?
[/quote]

Thank You Very Much :) :)

I am G.M. of a Play-By-Post Sci Fi Game, or Sci Fi Wargame - on a Forum Site called Armchair Generals.
Humanity ( and now some Friendly Alien Allies ), against the Galaxy Wide Empire of the evil Zetans, who breathe Ammonia. We are also Colonising and expanding - discovering New Systems and New Worlds - Building Colonies, Cities, Bases, Defensive Bases, Shipyards, Bio-Domes / Thermadomes.
Onwards and Upwards :)
This started in February ( Stardate 2130 ) - and it is now September 2137.

Usually it is one week RL to 1 Month Game Time - I speeded it up during April, when I became G.M. - but now it is running more slowly, actually during the summer"vacation" period is is a bit slower than this, about ten days to the Month.

This is our "Krissyverse" - our "Local Area" in the Milky Way.

Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: karakris on August 30, 2011, 06:22:00 AM: Can I do that ??

I thought as it is only saved in MY SIMULATIONS - it was not possible to do that.

There does not seem to be an Option to Save My Simulation to the "Community".

Something I wish we had - then Maybe, just Maybe -
Someone a lot cleverer than me could do me a BIG favour and do some of the Systems for me.

One of our Players did do a Sim for the Gamma System, which is his Dominion in the Game - New Byzantium.
He was the peroson who put me onto the Steam Version of Uni Sand - but no other Players seem to have this Package, and I don't think that Player ever joined in the Forums here.

BTW - I only ever use these as STATIC ( Paused ) Sims - to do Views of "What Is" for the Sci Fi Game.

I am now gonna TRY to Upload the Uni Sand ( Ubox ) File.

OKAY - This Seems to have Worked - Whoopie !!
Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: karakris on August 30, 2011, 06:37:09 AM: Added - A Comment

BTW - Why can I not write longer Messages properly in the Post Box here - Am I missing something obvious ??

Re: The Krissyverse.

I would have preferred to have used the "Known Stars" view, with all the knonw and existing Stars in it - that is Stars in the known Constellattions.
But this was full of "silly" lines joining up the Stars, which are meaningless in a Real situation - and look silly.
So - I went from the "Our Local Systems" and zoomed into our Galaxy.
No Real Stars were shown though, except Sol.
So - I turned it around 180 degrees, to put Sol at the "top" of the picture, with a "flat" view of The Milky Way.

Then - I just added Stars in, as we "discovered" them, from the Scout / Survey trips of our Ships - mostly the Attican Scout Force. Attica Dominion is the most keen and avid colonising Dominion as well.

The Nasty Aliens were first met at Pandora System ( originally Zeta System ), so they have always been called the Zetans.

Their "Empire" extends from nearer the Galactic Core ( below the Pic ) - Outwards ( upwards ) to below Pandora System - so their Star Systems and Planets are below the picture, "off stage" as it were.
They are supposed to have conquired some 60% of this Galaxy.

Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: karakris on August 31, 2011, 04:27:17 AM: Oh Damn !!

I asked in here how to do that - a while back.

I got no answer - So I gave up.

It has all been done now -
Not sure if I want to try to fit all of our "fictional" Colony Systems
into the existing REAL Galaxy - even if I could turn the lines off.

There does not seem any way to Copy one load of stuff from a Simulation
into another one.
So - I would have to start all over again -
Hmmm - LOADS of work.
I actually have X, Y, Z dimensional locations for all the "fictional" Stars -
But ATM Uni Sand ( UBox ) only gives us useable information on the Radial ( say X )
locations of Stars, relative to Galactic Centre.
The rest I have to "guesstimate", and Z dimensions would not show in a Flat view.

Well - when or if this one Finishes.

Maybe in Five Years time - but this could Run for a lot longer.
As Players get bored. or leave - I just get more Players.
I have been G.M. since April - and it just keeps getting bigger and better.

ME - This is MY Universe, the Krissyverse, and it is just the way I like it -
So I have no Plans to leave it.

I guess - given enough time - I could Rebuild the whole of "our" Star Systems,
into the real Milky Way view.

I like the two molten planet textures and I did grab them, but I would like one that looks more in between the sheol one (almost completely molten) and the khorsnight one (almost completely solidified and that is one dark planet).

http://blog.tartiflop.com/2008/12/displacement-map-to-normal-map-converter/ (http://blog.tartiflop.com/2008/12/displacement-map-to-normal-map-converter/)

The problem is basically that if you wrap a rectangle around a sphere, it will be distorted. The image will look much bigger at the equator and will look like ith as shrunk at the poles (look at the three red circles on the chicken, which look equally big on the image, but smaller closer to the poles on the sphere).

I haven't found a program or an extention to a free program (like GIMP) yet which can convert a normal image to a sphere map.

I would guess that the basketball could look more spherical by doing something like this. Make details near the poles bigger, and smaller near Equator if possible.

Title: Re: Can we gather all custom textures / models here?
Post by: Bla on January 05, 2012, 09:01:04 AM: I just drew them in Paint. If you want good results, you need something which can convert normal rectangular images into sphere maps (which can be wrapped around spheres without distortion, a bit like my last image). You could try searching for it on Google, like I did in my last post.
Photoshop can do it, but it's not a free program.

Also the best images for spheres are twice as wide as high.

Yes, you could get these from Wikipedia, but I'm packing them together so you don't have to and to fix distortions that could occur, like pole pinching, but to make sure pole pinching can occur with flags I'll try the UK to see what happens with that flag. Edit: Of course it'll occur with the UK!

I'm talking about that the UK flag is completely screwed up when wrapped around a sphere, maybe I should modify the flag massively to get the wrapping to be fixed. I'll post a picture of the problems with the UK once I get US (Universe Sandbox, I have to specify what I meant because I'm saying country acronyms as well) up.

The North and South pole look like the left and right images. The middle is what it looks like when looking at the equator. The issue is that it is an unexpected wrap-around.

Alternatively, you can upload the image to a site. Then just paste a link and use the insert image button to make it appear they are [img ] [/ img] without the space.
