Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

He's got all of the planets and some of the moons in the solar system all ready to wrap onto spheres.
As well as colour maps, there are bump maps which is really handy and for Earth there's even a cloud layer, specular layer and city lights layer.
The 1k images are free and adequate for but if you need a higher resolution you have to pay a small price for the 2k images.

Scaling the planets would probably benefit from a little artistic license as would the orbits they take and the relative speeds they travel.
Good luck with whatever you make, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

They aren't too hard to make I would assume. From memory, Phobos and Deimos are roughly potato shaped, 20 - 40 km in diameter. I would include them, cause those two moons is where the events of Doom take place...Originally posted by elephantinc
BTW ive now made it up to jupiter (working from the sun outwards)
