Planet Texture Tool

Sushi

Have to give the original credit to W0dk4 for finding this tool. Hopefully this will give people more incentive to make their own custom planets

planettool is a tool for working with textures for planets. Its main purpose is to convert equirectangular projection textures to cube map textures. It was developed for Oolite, but should work anywhere you need planet textures or cube maps.

Grave dig I know, but when I use it gives me a error saying cannot read png file. I have it set on desktop to run it, but where do I put the png for it to read?

Here a ss of the error I get. As you can see everything is on desktop, so I don’t understand why its not working. Any ideas?

You’re not executing it from the desktop directory. So it looks in the current one, which is C:\Users\Scott.

No idea what you mean lol, care to explain

Sry had some typos and corrected them. Type cd Desktop and then try again. Maybe you also should read up on how the DOS prompt works in regards to directories etc.

PS. with the plugin “Flexify 2” for Photoshop you can create this textures too, much easier

Hrimthur, thanks. Though sometimes it crashes photoshop, any idea why?

Right bit-version ? how many D-RAM do you have on your PC ?

(try)
Photoshop > Edit > Preferences > Performance > D-RAM assignment to Photoshop not more that 70%.

And maybe you try a lower output resolution.
