to whom it may concern- NASA has reorganized there web site, and the images i think this tut was meant to direct artist too has been moved to here: [link] and is that 400 meant to be 4,000?

I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL! ~hoevelkamp you rock hard core. Thank you so much!!

Yeah, the links are outdated. I guess tutorials are not written in stone. :D And you're right, that 400 is meant to be 4000. Thanks man, I appreciate it.

It seems great, but I want to make it an animation of the planet I want to create, but...

What do you mean about seams?

Really, this tutorial it's good, anyway.

If you look closely, this is actually a tutorial in Photoshop. It describes how to create maps for planets in 3ds Max. If you change the maps to square ones (4000x4000 pixels for example) and use the spherize filter in Photoshop on them, you can adapt this technique to Photoshop only. ;)

I was only wondering because there are tabs for the layers that I don't have on my version of photoshop
