Making a thread about it so others can learn.

I see a lot of smudge tool in it but I still would like to see how you can apply this method in other types of clouds and particles as well.

[Advancebo]

Well this is ironic.

[legionaire45]

PM or AIM would have been better.

Post your results, not your question please.

dont tags assist in searches?

[Con]

I am going to give it its own thread at release ;p I'm leaving this open in case anyone has questions they want me to cover or suggestions.

[DEElekgolo]

How you did the lens flare I guess?

[Limited]

Is that lens flare dynamic?

[Con]

mkay, I will talk about lens flares

Right now I've written the intro, design, and half of the modeling sections. Lens flares will go in tagging, after the texturing section. I have some other things to look into, like what shaders can be used and how to animate the sky.

[Bastinka]

Clouds in different atmospheres maybe? Dark clouds, or how to properly make a sun beam come through a 'hole' in the clouds.

[DEElekgolo]

Be sure to explain to people about the model prefixes in the sky.(00. 01. 02.) etc.
Much appreciated.

[killer9856]

Oh yay! I could use a custom sky in my map :)

[DEElekgolo]

I have about 8 incomplete skies sitting on my hard drive right now. Would love to complete them.

[Kalub]

Bump, caring is sharing!

[Con]

I've finished the design and modeling sections, texturing and tagging are next. Also, it's not really a step-by-step tutorial. It assumes you can do things like compile models, link objects to frames, and make planes to put your sky elements on. Photoshop knowledge will be less of a prerequisite. I'm documenting everything I think is important to making skies specifically, and not the HEK stuff you should know already. However, I'll host it on my webspace here so I can make changes whenever people want more in the tutorial.

[Dwood]

I've never tried to make a sky before and will consider doing so when this tutorial is released.

[Hunter]

So its a tutorial not for noobs :P

[kid908]

So its a tutorial not for noobs NOT telling me what to do. :P
FTFY

Tick Tock Tick Tock. Time is running out! I would also like to see this method of yours, Con.

[Kalub]

[legionaire45]

You little cocktease you.

Post tits not....bits...of...tits

[Kalub]

Agreed, it's been far too long. And also, those images of the mountains I gave you... what are you using them for?

[Con]

They're sitting in my reference folder doing nothing.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

I tried that URL and it didn't work =( halp

[Con]

The tutorial covers making a planet like this. I still have a bunch of other topics I want to include, but I can try and finish up soon then add things in the future.

[Kalub]

even though I know that shadow is correct... i loathe it

[sleepy1212]

the shape is right but it's out of line and a little too hard.

[Con]

compare to this shot of Jupiter and it's moon:

Technically, my moon's way too big and close but I only did that for the purposes of the tutorial.
