Modding planets

ImO you can not add more than 7 different parts to a sph file (6 sides + atmosphere) - at least i tried it one time but didn’t made it yet - maybe someone had more success and can provide a working draft for it, such as a second atmosphere entry.

But you can put a cmp around the sph - with a tranparent layer it should be possible to create for example moving clouds and other stuff.

It would just become a problem of performance imO, allthough it would create cool possibilities.

For the other, all ready cleared question, simply make a complete texture for the whole planet and let the planet tool create the tiles (saying it for those who may search this thread in the future).

Does somebody know the method to apply lightmap and cloud layers to SPH planets? Searching forums returned for CMP only.
