[FiahOwl]

I just added the clouds. the actual image can be found @ the Celestia Motherlode

Is that a typhoon in the West Pacific? Looks like Merbok.

Nice texture, but it needs to be about... 20% cooler. Tip: Add more hurricanes.

haha, thx

I recognized that map... it showed the Ice Age Earth, but with Atlantis. Nice texture, anyways.

Growing Typhoons... Big Unrealistic (but cool) storms on this cold earth.





Like it?



Also a failed nuclear war texture:

It's interesting and very odd though.

I don't approve at all... As if being buried in snow the last two winters wasn't enough already!

[Translator]Nice work.[/Translator]

do custom textures are just pictures in a 2x1 ratio? any requirements?
and how does a rectangle turn into a spherical object, wheres the distortion?

Not on the dimensions, I think (as long as the images aren't huge). I've read that a power of 2 might look best (like 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096). Only a few image filetypes work, but ofc you always use .png anyway, so why even consider that.
The shape of the image shouldn't matter.

and how does a rectangle turn into a spherical object, wheres the distortion?

Check this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping
The top and bottom are the poles, and the middle equator. So obviously the equator part will be stretched out a lot from the original image, and the areas close to the poles will look very small when applied to the sphere. The distortion is everywhere, but biggest near equator and the poles.

Yes, think about simple geometry. There are 90 degrees from the North pole to the equator, and 90 from the equator south. 180 degrees. There are 180 degrees west and east of the meridian, 360 degrees. 180/360 = 1/2

well bla's DO textures are all wrong

UPDATED!

Shouldn't you include this one as one of those that were stopped right in the middle?
