Suggestions?

I have a suggestion for the next ubox version!

Is it possible to have a bump map for planet textures or the planets render itself depends on their texture?

not sure what you mean. If you want visual "bumps" you can do that with custom textures. If you want physical bumps, you'll need to change the model

It's possible! But I'm not shure if Dan will implement it.

Yeah, i wish Dan will do and the bumps will make the planet realistic too with an atmosphere and it should be a separated texture and rotate in opposite direction:

Planet Texture + Texture Bump = Clockwise
Planet Atmosphere Texture = Counter-Clockwise

So we will need at least 3 textures to make a planet like earth and 2 textures for planets that isn't habitable or not suitable for life but it still depends on the user's heart content

Procedural textures? Not sure how Dan would implement that.

I think Dan has said that he wants to have some kind of visual effect for atmospheres and there is also going to be atmospheric drag (not sure how that will affect things, considering how thin the atmosphere is compared to the planet itself) in the major release coming sometime this year.

Procedural textures will also be better than making another texture by yourselft but it should produce textures depending on the statistics of the planet lets say, distance from the star its orbiting and if it is capable of life(habitable) that would be a such workload

He wants to make the atmosphere "Glowy".

Lol, like what we saw on earth's surface in the space? yeah, it glows
