I made the textures from scratch - you need to use pictures of rocks to give the most lifelike of textures. Work on a large scale. I don't use pre-made textures - I make all my own.

TIPS:
- Work on a large scale - scaling down means there is more detail.
- Try and create some sort of believable terrain - completely random overlayed rock layers tend not to work so effectively.
- place rock layers on soft light blending when adding to a base rock layer... make good use of the eraser tool as it gives a smooth link between the two layers.

I really love your planets
You should write a tut on how to do the clouds Cuz I can get the texture right but the clouds are really hard

Imitation is the key to that - clouds take on many shapes and sizes but they generally follow the same sort of pattern. Find a cloud map and refer to that - they you will know what your working towards. Also if you make your own cloud map big enough you can use it more than once - just use different parts
