As a little after-hours project, Rikard and I have been helping out a team who needed a "planetary evolution" display for some exhibit over in Europe. The idea is to evoke a sense of wonder at how many possible planets there are out there, and that they've been evolving over millions of years, etc. As a volunteer side project, we were only able to put a small portion of our time towards it, but I think it's come along nicely. You can check out a little video below showing a couple of the planets in the mix. It's a bit slow, but might make a nice screen saver. :)
Basically you're seeing Ardor3D's procedural texture generation, plus some atmosphere and bloom in GLSL with a little camera work thrown in. No sound, sorry.
Enjoy!

It's looking really good. It would be cool if it opened up with the relative orbit of those two (and the Sun?) before zooming into the first one...
and yeah, need the music to 2001 / 2010 :)
great job!
