I'm gonna hit ya with some rep because I love the satellite style and yours looks great. Since I have moved to the more artistic side it makes my heart smile to see this and makes me want to go back. Very nice job.

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.

There are quite a few programs which can draw a map on a sphere for you, although, of course, learning how to do it from scratch can be rewarding in itself.Originally Posted by MadLetter
Woah, how did you go about doing this? I wanted to get a little into projection and similar stuff once my exams are over
For example, using Celestia ( http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ ) the map on the left can be used to draw the planet on the right:
ill post some more maps soon, ive just been a bit side tracked creating the progenitors in max and some other bits for it.
Come Back...Come Back Ascension! ...back to dark err... back to the less artistic side.

Ty for the kudos, but there still loats of work for the scenario it self (im just doing the scenario, no stories as im terrible at story writting as they feel more like a statement or a historical account).
ive been working on this for a while, so im in the process of bringing togeather and digitalizing all the relevant drawings & concepts, latter on ill explain the scenario idea.
A incomplete map of the planet systems (theres still more data to be put on plus move stuff about a bit, plus im still tweaking the colors)
Just out of curiosity: What is the spectral class of the system?
Its a G1 V, though im o used to know the nearby stars spectral class by memory i forgot to put it down, assuming people knew it too lol, just remember theres lot of info missing.
I really like the method of presenting the information - very clear.
Have some rep!
This is really cool. Good work, zhar2!
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
