Hi, I'm searching for a software that is especially good for creating planetary images seen from the orbit. I have tried Mojoworld so far but while it's features are nice, the resolution of the planet is too low and the planets surface is often to repetitive. Also it seems the planet size cannot be changed. I've have tried the Photoshop PlugIn Flaming Pear LunarCell and it's result are very good. The surface has a nice and realistic detail but then again the surfaces look always very similar on every planet, especially the cloud layers and the plugin lacks somewhat on the features side, I would like to for example create ring systems. I think Vue or Wouldbuilder are not really useful for this task as they are not made to create a whole planet. My question: Are there any other applications that would be dedicated for such a task?
