I just realized something - Bold's terrain is bumpy, and I mean hella bumpy. So bumpy it makes Pol looks smooth. Is that a bad thing?

Mm...Not sure. Is it more like rolling hills Mün-esq bumby, or washboard bumpy?

[DunaManiac]

Alright, here's a preview of Roa, a small egg shaped planet.

Currently WIP. Colors will be changed and it's shapemap needs to be changed in order for it to be more smooth, but here's what it will look like:

[DunaManiac]

After tweaking the shapemap even more, this is more or less the final result.

There is the fact that there is a sudden drop near the poles that I have to iron out, but I'm very happy with the base shapemap.

[Misguided Kerbal]

I love the cyan color!

Wrong! It's a Tic-tac.

I've created Roa's moon - Fia, a small gilly sized moon.

[Lewie]

Looking nice!

From what I can see *laughs*

Is there any feedback you'd like to contribute?

Yep

that crater (ridge?) looks pretty great! And I hope that it’ll be very helpful for mining and insitu.

I've created a (crude) diagram representing the expansion of Creeon's system from 2 bodies to 9.

GGCR stands for "Gas Giant Core Remnant." When Creeon went supernova, it destroyed most of this planet's outer layers, leaving a small remnant in it's place. It has 3 moons, all of them captured dwarf planets.

[Lewie]

Dang it, put of likes! 

But that’s looking pretty dang great....can’t wait to see what you come up with!

[DunaManiac]

Keeping in part of 0.4.1, the "Asteroids and Dwarves Update", introducing Roa's second moon, Yilara!

It's radius is 25 kilometers across, but unlike Fia it has a grey color instead of a rich mahogany color.

[Lewie]

Beautiful

After some tweaking, I've gotten rid of the notch near the poles, and changed Roa's shape to it's final configuration (once I get rid of a seam)

[DunaManiac]

I've created a new concept for a planet orbiting in the Zoildore system, Therix. It's not finished yet, as it will have oceans.

was that supposed to look like a face?

Not really. I didn't actually notice it until you pointed it out. But what do you think about Therix?

Is this japris or a ksp2 dev thread?

This is Japris all right!
Anyway, I probably won't be finishing Therix until at least I've added Zoildore, which Therix orbits. I've decided to merge 0.4.1 into 0.5, which will revamp Bold and Oppo, add Roa, Yilara, Fia, GGCG, Therix, Zoildore, and possibly add scatterer support.

[DunaManiac]

Therix has been proceeding nicely, I am now done with the textures, all that's left now is to actually code the planet.

(here's a teaser of a large lake in the north of Therix to show what's to come)

So, it appears there is a problem with Therix -

The surface also seems to be colored with the heightmap and not the color map.
