This is the biggest Dev Log so far!
Sorry for not posting a lot, I had a lot of school work and I had to take care of my animals (I have a farm lol). Anyway, I worked a lot on this, and I think you guys might love it! Let's start with some "appetizers". I revamped the storms on Domar to give them a natural feeling to it:
You might say it looks the same, look again. The storms are irregular, and I added some more. I also revamped the atmosphere because it was too short and some of the clouds stood out. Here are some pics of the new and extra storms:
Very pretty right? Well, I think this final shot of Domar might make you love the planet even more:
Even Yuri is enjoying the view! The volumetric clouds are there for looks, immersion and so you can fly around them, and no, you can't land on them--they are made of gas. Sadly, this is all I had for Domar in this Dev Log, but there will be more! Just in the next one!
So you remember Thanius, right? Do you know that rocky moon with exposed core lava pits that I showed in my 5k Points celebration? If you don't know, that's fine BECAUSE HERE IT IS:
The colors are pretty boring ngl, but at least it looks decently cool. The new one has a lot of new things. Probably even to call it an overhaul lol. It has new textures, new colors, and better overall terrain. Check it out:
I personally think it looks BEAUTIFUL beaut. I added like cool hexagonal markings on it, and made it seem more intimidating. I also added intensity to the lava pits so now it has light flares!
So damn awesome. Especially at night! I also tried not to make it look similar to Zeraphus'. The lava pits are not because it is hot or has strong tidal forces, but it is because it has an extraordinarily large core, with some parts of it literally breaching the surface. These things are hot, and no, I did not forget to set the temperature in the Studio, so if you do enter the lava, you will 🔥 and 💀.
That was just a small one, so can you imagine what the big ones are? The terrain is also rough, so gl trying to find and large big, and flat area!
There are also parts where the lava cooled down into rock. This type of rock is real and it is called Igneous Rock. They are expansive and are typically flat on Thanius, but they are quite unstable (Lorewise).
My most favorite gas giant of the Kaotetran Star System is Ondriall! I mean just look at it!
Isn't it pretty? I hours on the noise to make the itty bitty swirl storms, which took 22 DOMAIN WARPS!!!!
Yeah, there are storms like that big orange (not red) spot, and I plan to make some smaller versions of them later.
But an example of these itty bitty storms is from Space Engine. Sadly there is no reference because many gas giants have them, but you get the idea.
Also, this next pic shows just how large that storm truly is!
Ondriall also has very turbulent winds and clouds, which is the main cause and reason as to why such things are present. It is mainly the tiny storms but the big storms reside where many bands carry different heat, thus creating a large convective zone where storms are prone to be bigger and last longer.
This next pic also shows what the clouds are like in the said convective zones or where many large storms exist:
Sadly, I need to wrap this up, as this is all I have left. But at least you guys can enjoy this one, final, beautiful picture of Ondriall.
Nobody has to @67milo. Also why did you delete you comment?
