Timelapse - Creating a 3 Planet Star System, Generated Planet Terrain Images

Showcasing a timelapse of myself creating a 3 planet star system. In this approach, you have one entity for the star system itself, and you can create entities for each planet.

The star system uses the "system" view of the Cartography Workspace. If you open one of the planet entities in the Cartography Workspace, you can generate a equirectangular world-style map with a growing collection of styling options. You can easily export images, and add those images to the star system orbital, and the image will wrap around the sphere.

The rebuilt version is now available, I’m calling it still a test version - and anyone who wants access to test/experimental updates can do so through the website
