I'm looking for somebody with the appropriate knowledge and tools to provide some planet models for use. Well.. not sure if models is the proper term, there's a sphere already ingame, I just need proper planetary textures for it. What I need is, at the bare minimum, a barren world (I.E. the moon, or mars), a terrestrial world (I.E. Earth), and a gas giant (I.E. Jupiter). I can use tints to get other variations from there. If somebody could provide these, I'd be eternally grateful, will even credit you in mah map if that means anything to you lol.
Edit: It would seem that in my haste, I forgot to put WHAT I was requesting in the title.... and I can't edit the title.... whoops.
Oh-hey, someone replied. But no, as you can see by the tumble-weed, nobody ever responded. It still astounds me how there aren't any planet-models out there. I mean it's a sci-fi game with space, yet no planets. At present our only options is the 76 planet pack, where you can only use a single texture on your map. Or the wow planet pack, where the planets are covered with tacky 2d graphics like lightning and 2d moons that orbit them.
I really do wanna see planets like those on WC3, just spheres with planet textures, maybe rotating clouds. Nothing fancy, just something to convey 'hey, it's a planet'.
How many do you need? How many different variants would be a good solid number (and I know the ideal answer is 'The More The Better!') - I'm currently working on another project. But I mean >.> Textured Spheres ... I could probably whip a new one up each week/ect
At the bare minimum, three. A terrestrial planet, a barren planet, and a gas giant. Tinting can take it from there. Idealy, one for all the various types of planets. Terrestrial, desert, barren(moon) ect ect ect. But if you can just make me those three, I'd be eternally grateful, and you'd get credit in mah map lol.
Double post simply because I don't want would-be helpers to read my edits, think all is hunky-dory, and not see this. But, while those planet models are good... there's no gas giants. So my request still stands, just now it's for a gas giant instead of the others.
Edit: Hmm, hit a bit of a snag. The planet icon models are weird, set at weird angles. When I scale them up (and they require a lot of scaling up), the selection circle is MASSIVE, and the planets don't sit in the center of it. So not only is the selection circle as big as an xbox, but the planet sits on the rim of it. Any idea how to fix this?
Yeah, I found those a while ago. Unfortunately they're actually quite horrible. They're covered in nasty 2d graphics, like lightning and flat, ugly moons that orbit them. I asked if the guy could remove them, but he said he couldn't. I was quite dissapointed :(

Bump cuz I need those planets :(
A full day and not a single reply? :( This makes me a sad panda.
Another bump, really need these planets :(
Did you ever get someone to make these for you?

There's actually quite a few planet models in the game assets, look under the model tab, search for Planet Icons, or just planet
Note: this is different from the planet view model in my library. These planet icons are the one used for campaign mission selection
Are they actual planets, though? I don't need icons or anything, I need full 3d spheres with a planet texture.
Edit: Huh... who knew, thanks for the tip, Programmer. If only I had known about these a week ago XD

Bump, since I still need a gas giant model :(
zarak has a sticky in the artists forum of wow models, he has a collection of planets as one of them

you may wanna take al ook as see if those planets will suit your needs
