I made a random-planet generator that can create earth-like planets. Still
struggling with the clouds (they're very hard to do convincingly :-/) but I
think it doesn't look too bad the way it is now.
Comments welcome!

Wow that looks awesome!
I may be able help with the clouds, I had a go at doing a similar thing a
while ago and got a good cloud effect but could never get the land right!
I've attached a picture of my attempt, and the source for it.

That's pretty cool. I'd like to see what the function is for generating the
continents. I tried this once and couldn't come up with anything realistic
or even stylized and unrealistic but visually appealing.
nice work

thanks !

this is the pattern that determines the height of the landscape:
pigment_pattern {
pigment_pattern {
crackle scale .75
poly_wave .125
warp {turbulence .125 lambda 3}
}
pigment_map {
[0 rgb 0]
[1 granite scale 10
scale .5 warp {turbulence .75 lambda 3} scale .5
]
}
}

That's a very cool idea, I hope you get the clouds sorted out soon. :)

Nice result, Zeger. Congratulations!
What about a close up? ;-)

maybe if I add one more small turbulence, but now it all looks too fuzzy for
close ups :)

Fantastic! Now see how close you can get to the real continents this way ;oD

You humans do pretty well!
Once you succed to do generate your own planets with their own clouds, you
will be accepted to join the ligue of interstellar cultures! Each lifeform
which has developed their version of POV-Ray becomes a candidate, and each
of those few civilizations which learns to create their own planets will
become a member of the Galactic Ligue.

If those clouds are procedural, I'd love to see the code!

Hi there, i'm new here (not to POV though) and thought i could show my first
succesful attempt at creating a planet.
And much thanks to Tek, your method of sharpening the normals was really
useful! :)

Very nice!
I'm not sure the atmosphere would glow like that, and the clouds show no
wind-driven effects, but it's a good-looking planet for sure. :-)
