If anyone around here is using gaseous-giganticus and Hugin or something else to convert the cubemaps to equirectangular, I just added '-E' option to gaseous-giganticus to make it output equirectangular images by itself. You also have to specify the desired image height, which must be a power of 2. So, "-E 1024" would produce a 2048x1024 equirectangular image. Still outputs the cubemap images as well.

Heh. Author of GG here. This may be the first negative feedback I've had since I made the program in 2014, so thanks for that! (negative feedback is in general more useful than positive feedback). You have unusual taste, to say the least. I would ask you what you don't like, but, it really doesn't matter, as the output of GG was not really designed, it was more like it just "happened". The math does what the math does, and that's all there is to it. Good luck in your search for gas giants that appeal to you. Edit: to wpetula, if you're trying for something like Uranus, you can get that out of GG, just depends what input image you feed it.

I am happy to see someone other than me getting some use out of my little program. How do the poles look after converting to an equirectangular projection? I would expect considerable loss of detail, but I suppose if that's the format the game wants, that's what it gets. -- steve
