Author Topic: The Planets : Remake [The Laterverse!]  (Read 7010 times)

In tribute to ReactorWorker's series of planet maps I enjoyed back in 2007-2010, I'm making my own map with his ideas and aspirations in mind.

But anyway, here's a size comparison on the planet's that have been done so far (These are only placeholder textures, and the sizes may not exactly be to scale in the final version, it depends on Torque's max draw distance!)



Each planet will have an interior inside, the moon will have a few craters, Earth have rolling hills and a water source (I'm using Physical Zones and a shape for this since Torque water floods the entire map) and Saturn would be a cloudy area with floating rocks, these won't be the only planets here though, the map could stretch out for miles and miles!
Also, best of all, it would be aligned to the brick grid! so you can build space colonies and stuff.

Anyway, I'll post more updates here, keep an eye out!

wow

nice.


looking forward to it.

Wow, I can't wait! Looks awesome!

What's that weird stretched part by Earth?

I perfected skies!
They actually look like as if you're in a planet now, and not some cramped box, here's a rocket being fired.


[That's a new placeholder texture on Earth, it'll eventually look a bit more cartoony!]

It's a ring of saturn.


Due to draw-distance issues, I'll have to make the planets something like, 25% smaller than shown in one of the above screenshots, I want to have enough planets visible from each other.

Wow, this is just awesome, but is the planets supposed to be square or are you going to make them round later?



Trees will be in there later.

They'll be square, but that's since it's supposed to fit the block theme.

Sort of reminds me of that one map with the planets, one of them was a black one with caves, what was it again?

You didn't go into the planet and have it as an interior inside, the planets were just formed... hard to explain

Yesss!

You're going to add all eight planets of the solar system?

Great idea making the insides like the planet surface. You have alot of cool stuff coming up.

I was planning to make The Planets also with a lot of solar systems. Glad that you are making this, looks magnificent and beautiful.

Yesss!

You're going to add all eight planets of the solar system?


Yeah, alongside the sun and thr moons!

Also, I wish Badspot increased the max draw distance.

keep it up. blockland is lacking in good maps

I don't really like how it's square tbh.
