To tell you the truth that result came out horrible. The brushing is hanging offof the planet, etc. Also for the outer atmosphere of the planet it's best to set the spread to 0 it's an o.k. tut I guess could be better
I made this earlier: Not from your tutorial though. You should use bevel and emboss on a planet. Also it's best to use a small textured brush to make the land and then extrude it with emboss. and instead of making it harder for people to have to feather it off you should just tell them to keep the circle selected throughout the whole tutorial. that way they don't brush over. My planet that i made yesterday.
Well yeah I know my planet came out horrible. Like I said yours would be better. Just came up with this tut today, so it's not gonna be perfect.
That looks way better man Also try doing it with an actual texture. You result will be way better especial if you add emboss then you will add mountains, etc to your planet. Just like i did in mine.
