    Wip Lunar Map II

    Okay, here's version 2.0

    Changes:
    1. Only used one background image from NASA.

    2. Substituted another render for the central planet. Again, not my work--but kindly used by permission. Also made sure to make a really clean edit this time.


    3. Moved the sun to upper left as I have a use in mind for the lower area of
    the map.

    4. Got rid of the drop shadows. I didn't really like how they looked anyway.

    What's planned:
    1. Rather than have the orbital periods and distances written accross the
    elipses, I think I'm going to summarize them in the lower portion of the
    portion of the map. This will also allow me to provide more information
    about each moon.

    I'm still undecided about putting the full names next to each stellar body. I think it'll look "cleaner" if I just give them a key number--linked to the bottom area of the map.

    I think I'll do something with the texture on the central planet. I definitely have fix up the shadowing on it a bit.

    Again, comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Rob

    PS: Astute observers may notice the slight green shift of the surrounding stars. This is due to a misaligned lens in the adamantine sensor probe. Realignment will take about oh--1 million years. In the meantime, working on a software workaround.

    So what I'm seeing is an earth-like planet with three moons, one of which has it's own moon as well. Pretty cool. Awesome nebula image. Planets look good too except one minor thing...the shadows all come from the top left instead of aligning up properly to the sun so a small rotate will fix that. So far so good.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Um, did you calculate the orbital periods?
