Sorry to be a nuisance but this is only valid for Galaxy 1/2. So maybe the easiest solution is:
1. to take my textures (you have full permission for that)
2. resize them as you see fit
3. convert them to cube maps
4. copy the converted cube mapped Famous Planets textures into your packages for Galaxy 1 and 2.
5. redistribute the packages for galaxy 1 and 2.
...I can as an alternative give a description to the existing Famous Planets 2.5. users that they must simply copy the textures from Famous Planets into the Povray texture directories for Galaxy 1 and 2...
PAGroove, Submersible,
Could one or other, or both of you, or someone's brother, hairdresser or cat, or anyone you have already shared them with,
please make the
cube-mapped Famous Planet textures available for download?
Wll do on or before friday
Meow!!

Gr8: Descriptions will come when RL has calmed down a bit. But I hope this will be fairly soon.

Submersible, howzabout a quick tutorial of the software you used and how to go about making it churn out our own planet textures? (Some of us have lots of galaxies to fill.)

Oh - seriously?
I think there's already way too much on my plate. The software deps are horrible. Some source from
http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk/Padr ... are/povray
Which requires a patched povray37beta and a ton of perl modules from cpan. If you're not keen on building it all from source a tutorial really isn't much help.
Sorry.

So should I remove the old Povray Galaxy 1 Texture oxp and add this one in it's place? Or do I need to have both for it to work?
This is probably a stupid question, and I think the answer is to remove/replace, but I wanted to be absolutely sure.

Yep - remove the old one from your AddOns and install the updated one instead.

Is there an OXP that adds moons and other planets, thats also compatible with Povray Planets? I don't mean for it to use the same textures, just for it to not overwrite the main planet textures.

Orbits OXP, if you've got plenty of ram.

I have edited the Deep Horizon Systems to not texturize main planet and it seems to work ok with the povray planets. In my opinion DHS gives the most beautiful secondary planets and moons, but that's just me. If you feel adventurous, install DHS and edit the file Deep_Horizon_Systems.js. Comment out everything between the lines 231-250.
At least works for me

Nice! I tried it and it works also for me.

That last post from Tichy, the image seems to be on a website that Norton flags as having 5 viruses on it and won't allow me to visit. Do not click on the image!

I think that's a false positive. I use ompldr as image hosting for some years now.
Anyway, I edited the post. Now the image is loaded on imgur.

omldr.org doesn't exist. ompldr.org does, and is blocked by Norton 360 on my system.

Sorry. A typo. I meant ompldr.org. F-Secure consider this site safe:

However, when in doubt, if you prefer, I will use another site to post pictures.
