Can you provide some context for what planet editor is?

Perhaps a link to the website?

No, but I know how to make gas giant textures.
It's not a "professional" way, but you can get pretty good results.
Also, I can't make gas textures like Jupiter, but more like Saturn.

how then cause id like to know how to make gas giant textures

tuto99 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 29, 2013, 09:27:14 PM »

First, get Gimp
Second, set up tje dimensions for your texture. (Assuming you know the correct ratio.)
Third, what you want to do is hover your cursor over "Filters" and try to find a tool that says "Create noise" or something like that.
(I dont remember which option it was under.)
Fourth, a window should appear. Stretch the noise to the point it'll look like bands. Finalize the changes.
To color it, go under tools or colors, and find an option that says colorify. Select yer' color and you are done.

i cant find create noise on gimp what do i do

tuto99 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2013, 01:29:09 PM »

It's under some of the selections.
Check "Render" and you should see the create noise selection.

Credit goes to creator and to fiah.

If there is an option called Render, select it and you should see a sub selection called render noise or clouds.
Hope that helps.

Nope. Only Earth-like planets.
