I like the tutorial, I can't wait to finish it :drool:
I followed the tut until page 2 and now I can't find the "cloudiness" maps that are needed, where can I get one?

I can't really do it properly... The images of the mat parameters are too small, and the surface shader isn't really detailed...

Could you help please?

Thanks!

PS : Still waiting for the foreground planet modelling :drool: :drool: !!!
