Home / Planetary Art / Textures

 

Here are the textures I created for some planets and some other maps (Huygens landing site mosaic, martian skies, etc). For other objects, I use corrected or updated versions of textures by Steve Albers, Björn Jónsson, Jens, John van Vliet and t00fri. Please visit also their pages.

This textures are free for personal use, but proper credit should be given. If you use them please let me know and I'll put a link here to your work!
