basics of creating a planet?

[Andrew Hei]

One of the main questions I have is can I use blender for modelling? I would leave coding for later, maybe I just wanna have a taste of it . I would also like to know how texturing works with planets and how to set stats and descriptions for those.

You can use Blender for modeling parts. You then need Unity - also a free program if not used for commercial purposes - (5.4.0p4 I think) to create the .mu file. You might want to check the add-on development threads and in particular

Some are really old but much of the info is still good (minus the wheel stuff)

For planets I would check out some of tutorials by "The White Guardian" (here on the forums somewhere) - also would be a better place to post this question - you're more likely to get answers. As far as making a planet - I think it's mostly done with a program like GIMP but check the tutorials.

Edit: found a tutorial link:
