Planets - any photoshop tutorials for X-series planets?

[Verahta]

I want to learn how to make my own planets graphics, is there a photoshop tutorial that shows how to make planets like in the X-series?

The planet texture is a 512 x 512 seamless texture jpeg image. You can edit those and replace them for the planet models. Search Google Images for "planet texture" for some examples. There's a lot of stuff about making planets in photoshop and even some planet generating programs.

As far as creating 3D models, changing the atmosphere layer, rotation speed, etc. I have no idea.

I seem to recall there was a listing somewhere of all the objects in the game and their numbers but can't remember where I saw that.

If you just want to create custom planet images for non game use, google "how to make planets in photoshop".
