hallo everybody
I am absolutely newbie with povray, this is what I have realized in the last
4billions years of life.

I have post in scene-file the code

Well... a very long render, but a nice place to live, indeed ;-)

Really newbie with povray? Good job! I notice some //*PMRawBegin 
//*PMRawEnd comments in your code, and your textures are awesome (even 
for a non-newbie), are they made by hand or with a software?

Excellent work! I can hardly name you a newbie, even less an /absolute/ 
newbie. Your textures are very well made.

Interestingly, I have been working for some time now (less than 4 
billion years) on exactly the same thing but with some differences. My 
latitudinal approach is similar to yours; however, I am using 
height_fields for the topography and the texture is thus also altitude 
dependent. I attach an example of the state of the art.
For the background I have used Chris Colefax's galaxy macros, which are 
in need of some upgrade ;-)

For the height_fields I use a little application called PlanetGenesis

Hi Paolo
Italia?

I live near Varese.

During my billions years of lonely wanderings
I came across this SOS signal

https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=90952&hilit=kpovmodeler

I have spent many hours for reactivate this great piece of software abandoned by
kde devels, the result is not perfect but work nicely and allows everyone to use
povray.

Thanks!
now I relax for 2000 or 3000 years, clouds and stars are my greatest difficulty.
I'm also looking for an approach via isosurface instead of normal using ridged
multifractal for terrain elevation, this is my best result

Isosurfaces is an excellent alternative to height_fields indeed although 
slower to render. I have not yet tried it for planets as I first wanted 
the textures to be right, but ridged multifractals at the core would be 
essential. I did a lot of experimentations with isosurface landscapes in 
the past and would need to reactivate my memory (and my documentation) a 
bit :-)

Back in 2010 (as some around here might remember) I rendered a whole 
planet ("Ghurghusht"), technically a somewhat Earth-like moon of a gas 
giant ("Qais") based on a combination of various isosurface patterns, at 
a resolution high enough to get semi-realistic landscapes even from the 
viewpoint of a pedestrian standing on the surface, and using Bruno 
Cabasson's atmosphere tool. Some views attached here:

1. an entire hemisphere of Ghurghusht

2. a "pedestrian view" of Rathjens Lacus on Ghurghusht

3. a "pedestrian view" of Centlivres Lacus on Ghurghusht

4. a "pedestrian view" of Schmidt Lacus with Sitara Insula (planned 
location of Kandabul City)

5. an overflight view of a region at Ghurghusht's equator from about 35 
kms height

6. a global physical map of Ghurghusht

7. a physical map of Schmidt Lacus region

and, finally, a link to an animation showing an entire day at Schmidt 
Lacus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyN0zwTW0xU

See you in Khyberspace!
