Description Ok, so over the ages, i noticed that if there is one thing that space artists (especially newcomers) struggle with, then it has to be planet textures. Lots of them just cant get their planets to look good, cant find good textures, or simply dont have 3d studio max

So i decided to throw everyone a bone, and i made a tutorial on how to make a somewhat realistic-looking planet using only photoshop. Be adviced that you need to have some basic photoshop knowledge to follow this, and if not, i suggest you spend 50 dollars on the adobe photoshop book, or read the help files that photoshop came with)

I made a JPEG tutorial because:

1) I'ts annoying when you have to change from photoshop to your browser, and vice-versa. With Jpegs you have everything neat in photoshop

2) I didnt feel like writing HTML

If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to drop me a line.


In addition, here's a tutorial on making rings. I see many rings and tutorials produced with the spiral tool and that's just terrible! Thanks for the effort... but that's just wrong.

In photoshop...

But it couldve been done with any program such as Quark, InDesign, or even illustrator.

dinyctis In reply to Baby4Girl [2008-07-21 21:53:35 +0000 UTC]

I took a picture of those textures (it was a rock). Pretty much everyone has a camera these days so you can find lots of textures readily available

No link, hehe. I just took a picture of a rock with some moss in it. There are tons of things you can do, should you not have access to a camera. Try scanning an oatmeal cookie. No, I'm not kidding
