Creating Planets!
Whilst surfing the web for a decent planet simulation software I came across PlanetCreator. Its a great little freelance built program that generates a range of planet types from vast groups of maps, masks and cloud layers. Sadly I have since forgotten the site I got it from.
Anyhow here are a few examples:
I think this would be a great way to make planets for the 'Delphinius gulf wars' as there are plenty of variations and its certainly easy enough to do, so if you guys give me a general description of your factions home planet and I'll run a few trials. I've already made Nove:

Re: Creating Planets!
I need a large gas giant composed mainly of argon, xenon, and hydrogen. About 126 moons. The home moon is earth-like (74% land mass) in temperature however it is 1.4x earth's mass, A jungle moon that is 2x mar's size. An ice moon slightly larger than that, A desert moon that is 3.6x Earth's mass, and an ocean moon slightly smaller than the desert moon (3.2x Earth's mass) Ocean moon should be all water no land with depths up to 2,000 miles.
If this is too much you don't have to do it. On any faction I do though, the desert planet will remain the same. It should be normal desert sand.

Re: Creating Planets!
I can't make planetary systems I'm afraid but I could do each important body separately.

Re: Creating Planets!
That's fine. Just do them as you want since they are not really necessary and, in reality, it isn't really important to me. The option was tempting, and so I took my chance.
Re: Creating Planets!
Mior. A temperate class M planet with an environment similar to Earth. Hardly any land occupies the equatorial region and the planet itself is about half ocean. Another third or so of the land occupies its freshwater polar caps. The capital city can be seen from orbit along a massive lake in its southern hemisphere. Various mountain ranges snake along the coasts of each continent.

Re: Creating Planets!
Heh, I'm not sure it can be that accurate but I'll fiddle with the preset groups and see what can be done.

Re: Creating Planets!
Storm, yours are proving to be a bit more challenging. here's what I have so far:
The jungle moon is a pain in the butt to do but I'll keep trying.Deus Est Mechanicus

Re: Creating Planets!
These are so cool man! I really like the Ocean moon and the desert moon, they look really cool! The gas giant is a biiiiiiit meh, but then again, that's what I want it to look like since well... that's what gas giants look like *shrugs*. It's all really cool, thanks!
Re: Creating Planets!
I like the advanced city look, but that industrial haze isn't really what I had in mind. Regardless, that's pretty nice.

Re: Creating Planets!
The other moons:
Hope the jungle is OK, Im still not so sure about it.
Doog, I can nullify that effect if you would prefer.
Also, are the camera angles on these good or would you guys like something more cinematic?

Re: Creating Planets!
I love the average temperate one, but the jungle moon lacks.... jungle. It needs more saturated greens and barely any water except a few lakes (the whole thing is a giant tropical rain forest with a patch of desert on one side) and a couple rivers.
