Description
***YOU MUST HAVE SEAMLESS TILING TURNED ON OR THIS FILTER WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY!!!***Generates a terran planet map from distorted Perlin, thresholds, and gradients. I recommend that you render this on a square, high-resolution image with either no or extremely low surface height (in the Lighting tab), then resize it to a 2:1 aspect ratio, as this filter does not use spherical mapping.This filter also generates clouds, using the same method as the land. You can switch between rendering only clouds, only land, or both. By default it is set to render both. When doing this it is very important to set surface height to zero. The only reason this is a surface filter rather than a simple filter is so that bump, alpha, and specular maps can be rendered in addition to the diffuse map.
