Hi!

I'm looking for a include or other way of create space scenes for my game.

I know there is a galaxy.inc, but I need a more complete solution, to create
planets, nebulas, planets landscapes, etc.

Something like this:

In my opinion there is nothing specifically going from planet to landscape.
And even talking about landscapes (and forgetting about Terragen
http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/) although you can find great jobs in
pov ray (Hormann http://www.imagico.de/raytracing.html or Jaime Vives
http://www.ignorancia.org/ )they dont work thinking in low poly enviroments
(as you would like for a game.

I created a random solar system generator. It is available here:

Note that the results aren't very realistic, and that planets don't have
terrain.

You might want to search for "planets cylindrical maps".
This sort of map is easily applied to a sphere...

sphere {0,1 pigment {image_map {jpeg "earth.jpg" map_type 1 }}}
