It has faint rings and is around a third of the size of Jool Riaz, the closest moon to Hythara, the black sooty ring is from ring debri settling onto it's equator. Niran, a once habitable world similar to Laythe now completely frozen over. Gaul, the largest moon in the system, around a quarter of Hythara's size. It has one moonlet, Nemesis. Nemesis, the brownish-reddish moon orbiting Gaul, it's just larger than Gilly. The view from Riaz's Soot biome, Lowell is visible in the background. Niran's islands from the surface.

Yeah, I'll try to work on that but it will take a long time most likely because I have zero clue on how to make one of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mythical Donuts 72 Posted June 3 (edited) I like it! nice mod, but the day-night line thing is from screwed up normal maps, for your information. If you install the mod KittopiaTech, you can generate normal maps ingame by pressing ctrl+p, clicking on the planet you want to change, clicking scaledspace, then textureoptions, change the normalStrength to 2, change the resolution to either 1024, 2048 or 4096, change the textureDelta to be around the height of the highest peaks, then go back to scaledspace and click rebuild scaledspace textures. Then, you can go to the PluginData folder in the KittopiaTech folder and you can take your normals from there. it'll also export a height and color map.

Yes, I already have, most of the planets I have fixed, it's just that the I don't like Lowell's KittopiaTech export, so I have been holding off on that one.

I don't know but I'm pretty sure it will, I'll get back to you once I test it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregroxMun 5,032 Posted June 12 Hi. Can you please change the name of Lowell? I have a planet already in WhirligigWorld (have done for years) called Lowel, and would prefer if there wasn't any confusion. My Lowel is actually related to the namesake of the astronomer Percival Lowell in ways which would be lite WW spoilers to reveal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, I named after Percival Lowell as well you know Planet X/planet 9 hunter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
