Some visual arts for you, suckas

I pair of images I came up with using MojoWorld. I call this planet Vincarna; the actual surface is pretty boring so far, but the sky is looking like it'll be pretty crazy.

Erm. Sorry, the images turned out to be wider than I thought...

What program again? Mojoworld? What's that?

[AngelGuardian93]

Impressive. Really.

I'm hoping MojoWorld can export so we can get an even higher quality image. My friend Cole is doing 3d graphics in college and has a $4000 computer I could use to render it. :P

MojoWorld is a program that generates planets, and elements thereof, from fractals. It's awesome, but expensive as PRH... I got it back when I had a job. I'm not very good with it, really, but I like the sense of power. "Behold, for I am your GOD, little virtual planet!!!"

I checked the export options to see what's going on there. Apparently I can export the terrain as a mesh for a 3D program, but I'm not sure whether the sky would go with it, and the sky is the best part of this world.

However, there might be a different option: although MojoWorld as a whole is expensive, I believe that Pandromeda (the company that makes it) also makes a free MojoWorld Viewer that allows you to explore (and, I think, render scenes from) any planet that someone's made using MojoWorld. If it's like MojoWorld, it has five render quality settings, of which I can only get up to the third without abandoning all hope of seeing a render.

Make Micras, please.

[Shyriath]

That, I have no way of doing. MojoWorld generates planets fractally; you can tweak the variables to alter the general "look" of planetary features, and you can even import certain settings and terrains and stick them onto one portion of a planet, but you can't directly alter the world to make it look a specific way... or at least, not on the kind of scale you'd need to reproduce Micras.

Sorry. If I could, I would've done it long ago. :P
