High resolution planets

Does anyone know where I can find some hi-res textures of planets (anything but Earth)? I looked on CG Textures, and found nothing.

Thanks

Tried that… All I got was earth… I don’t want Earth. :smiley:

Really - because with that search and by clicking “images” I get two Mars textures in the first two rows - one of them is 8192x4096.

Adding the name of the planet you want a texture of also helps - there are a couple of large “Jupiter” ones for example.

http://www.mmedia.is/~bjj/planetary_maps.html - from this page http://flatplanet.sourceforge.net/maps/alien.html

If this is small - dig NASA pages. There are gigabytes sized maps for some. You’d have to use specialized software to stick the segments though.

and Check NASA they got very high res pics color, normal, Spec map, clouds map ect…

There aren’t lots of planets we have photographed to hires. Our system only has nine (eight by new nomenclatures) planets to photogragh, and we haven’t done the most of them…

You’ll need to fake what kind of planet you wish for your scene. And make the appropriate textures for them.
This is part of the creative process when dealing with scyfy imagery.

I never thought to look through NASA, they have some really good ones on their site!

give us some of the best links you find

there also some pics from EU and Japan has some nice super high res pics at night
but did not look at these yet
might find links at NASA

happy bl

I’ve had good luck with this page in the past: http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/solarsystem.php
