Question on Planets in Fanfilms

For all of you who have made fanfilms to date, who used an original planet in their film? By that I mean a planet that was not taken off of Sci-fi 3d or some other site. One that you painted the texture map for yourself.

Just curious.

 

Planet maps aren't difficult, Stuffed had four.

 

Stuffed?

 

Stuffed Wars, my first, last, and only ever fanfilm.

 

I created 2 planets for my Episode III Trailer. Both rendered in Bryce with atmosphere haze in AE.
One texture was a bitmap of a Hoth-like ice planet that I built in Photoshop. The other is a simple Bryce pattern map.

I think both looked equally convincing. It's really a matter of what works best.

 

I did one. (although no Star Wars fanfilm...) but I painted the ring of a planet on a bit thicker paper, then I painted it woody and seay and on one side, it slowly became darker... then I cut it out and glued it on a star background, made of black paper and white dots...
