OK Guys - This one should be easy...!

I'm looking for a set of POV (3.x) scene files for rendering planets for a
game I'm writing...

Each planet has a series of characteristics, size, atmosphere, H20% etc. If
anyone can come up with a series of POV scenes (preferable with some sort
of randomization - as I need around 150,000! images) I would be most
grateful.

The planets should have a typical (if there is such a thing) landmass
outline - if any - if 100% H20 - no land mass, and have a decent cloud
cover. If you can come up with moons, asteroids, satellites (not man-made)
and even the odd sun - so much the better. Also, if anyone manages to
generate a decent set of far objects - like other galaxies etc...

Images will be rendered around 100x100 to 300x300 in 24bit, but eventually
ported down to 8bit.

Version 1 of the game will be due out for release fairly shortly, FREE
Copies to everyone who contributes

Hope that helps...  What kind of game is it?

Have a look at the planets on my raytracing page and see if they're any
use to you.

  Hey!  i'm working in a ramdom planet generator include file, 
by now it generates clouds, land masses, dust rings and
polar icecaps ...-> Low Quality Planets
  All parameters (size, ring radius, colour pallette) can be set 
by hand or left randomized.
  If you wait 2 or 3 weeks more i'll send you a copy.
Only when i figure how to stop the generation of pink and yellow
striped planets once every dozen or so ;-)
