Kouros, I like what I see. Does the Earth (w/stars and moon) model have an "earth-like" texture map that I could use? It's hard to see due to the lens flare. Did you use any kind of distance cueing or blur on the stars? I re-created your clouds over planets model and added a small omni light as a fill light in the dark shadow, worked nicely. Next I am going to play with less than 100% texture mapping or maybe transparency to soften the "atmosphere". Great job!! Jim Beyer
