I think i can see what you mean, but it is still brilliant work and another step closer. If you mean the flat edges then yea, it's just a test model I will replace it soon.
The next thing i will do is work on updating the bump-map i have to your texture, since it's a little bit differently layed out it doesn't work at the moment. The only problem I can see with the texture is the 4 mountains, they are kind of alreadly 3d so im not sure they will look right when bump-mapped. We will also need more detailed textures if we want to zoom in, but we can worry about that later. If there's any terrain features you want in it let me know. After that I'll do the background/moons. I'll have a look into the screensaver, not sure as haven't made one before. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/tucky_02/15-11-06-screen1.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/tucky_02/15-11-06-screen2.jpg
I'm using the green mars texture, bumpmap is just a 2D heightmap, I've found one of mars that I can use for now so don't worry about that. So far I just have a rotating globe. I was going to start on the menus next to allow creating bases or something but i'm happy to work on other parts if anyone has ideas about what they would like to see. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/tucky_02/screen1.jpg
OK, I'm actually working on the geoscape now . Does anyone have any time to do the texturing or some of the menus? For the moment I'm using the textures from the Geoscape program mentioned, but I'll need someone else to do the bumpmap cause I can't do it either.
