Mars 2017 Challenge: River Tethys

That's an impressive model - an impressive map all round

Did you make the model in Blender, or was it purely in Twilight and PS?

This map is looking so great. The reworked Orbital Structure composition looks 100% better, and it didn't start off too bad.

Thanks for the kind comments guys

For the model i worked with sketchup 3D wharehouse where you can get existing models and reworked their shapes, twillight to calculate lights and photoshop for textures. Blender seems powerfull but its less user friendly interface scared me a bit
Here's more work on labels and icons, with info about each planet.

Its absolutely beautiful and totally spectacular. I love it

The only thing that bothers me just a tiny bit is the way the radial markers around the stars are very slightly off-centre.

And yes, Blender is a bit scary isn't it. I really don't like it at all. Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep changing where things are between versions. You just get used to it being one way, and they go and move everything like its a superstore and they're swapping the shelves around.

Didnt notice the radial markers were misplaced, that's corected thx
Compared to blender sketchup si so easy to learn! If you haven't use it yet i advise you to try twillight render in combination with sketchup, it calculate lightning effects in a better way than sketchup in just a few steps.
Here's the probably last version with a few minor corrections and a title

Slick concept and a very nice map!

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to give you any rep again so soon, but this map is really great. Your insets are so aesthetically pleasing, and they tell the story so well.

I love this map
