[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]I fiugured you'd use the Star Charts planetary images for any solar system.[/QUOTE]Nope, I made that map from scratch with Fireworks MX. The planets were made with the same Photoshop plugin they used for the illustrations of the plugins themselves (with [URL=http://www.flamingpear.com/lunarcell.html]LunarCell[/URL]), but everything else is vectors and patterns! The asteroid belt, for example, is a series of closely-spaced concentric rings with "random" grey dots to simulate the appearance of protoplanetary rubble. The star was made by taking a solid white circle (with feathered edges) and superimposing a mostly-transparent pattern of blue swirls to add a hint of color. (Hmm, I need to go back and add the shadows to the gas giants...) [/QB][/QUOTE]
