Does anyone know a good source for texturemaps for the planets, some galaxies with galactic gas in color, the lunar surface both back side and front? More of Earth? I have created a few from NASA sources but the results arn't great. Any on the Texture Universe? With a name like that it must have a spectacular galactic collection, right?

Don, You might want to look at Schreiber Inst. Fractle Textures IPAS. I have been experimenting with that one a lot lately and there are some very interesting things you can do with that. Limmitless actually. -Lee

I collect these for the Rendering Plant BBS [816-525-5614]. I got a lot of good ones off of the Graphics Alternative CD-ROM ($40) [510-528-1652]. I'll put a bunch more of them on there if you want to get on-line. We sure keep a colossal bunch of new and excellent meshes there, too. Jim

Hi Mike! As soon as I have one… 🙂 I`ll have to make a animation spot (for a contest called :"the most erotic girl in germany" 🙂 Sometimes I love this job!!!!) in the next few days. I`ll use one of your materials to make a realistic office… Michael – Michael Bassier, Written 21-Aug-1994 @ 18:51:40 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.2

It sounds like you've found your calling with this project Michael! <G> It'll make up for all that hard work indoors, no? JNJ

That`s the only good reason to make animations. When I was younger I showed all the cute girls my stamp collection. Now I show them my animations. That works better <g>. Michael – Michael Bassier, Written 23-Aug-1994 @ 08:38:16 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.2

Hi John! Did I mention that I`m in the jury of the "most erotic girl in germany" contest? We`ve send you a NDA a few weeks ago but I was told that we haven`t recieved it back yet. When did you send it back to cold germany? Michael – Michael Bassier, Written 24-Aug-1994 @ 09:11:20 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.2

Jim, Try looking in the astronomy forum, I found some great galaxy shots for some work I did on a "Cosmos" like intro to a video. They're in color and some of them are at good resolutions, and they're free! Cheers, Tom
