Haha, yeah, i didnt thought i would get into this so deep, but its just super fun.
I´m actually more into science too, i mean, i'll staart studying physics in Heidelberg soon.
Nevertheless it seems that I'm developing an artistic interest too, lately.
Thanks for the links, this fits perfect right now.
Since i am kind of ready with the basic shapes, the projection/distortion, the tectonics, and some temperature & wind mesaurements, i´ll start developing the climate zones soon.
I sticked to the non season model, and just tried to figure out how things could work.
No, i definitely want a whole little planet
Anyway, here some Pictures:
Tec+Moun.jpg
Tectonics + Mountains: Blue = Acient Mountains, Turquis = Folding Mountains
Tec+Vulk.jpg
Tectonics + Vulcans: Red = Convergent, Yellow = Divergent, Orange = Hotspots
Temp+Front.jpg
Well that are just the temperatures
Wind+WaterTemp.jpg
That are the air movements, and the temperature of the ocean, i made some currents too already, they´re relatively similar to the air movement.
AirMoisture.jpg
I tried to figure out the air moisture here.
Pressure+Wind.jpg
This are the general air movements, and the pressure Zones: Green = Low, Orange = High

This is the Map in the Fractal Terrains 3 Demo, i couldnt export anything showable since the resolution of the exported stuff is limited in the demo version. Cool tool anyway, i think i'll buy it.
GProjector.jpg
And thats the GProjector Projection. Great tool too.
I´ll defenetly make some more Planets and Moons for the solar system at some time later. Not as detailed as this one of course.
Well thats it so far, i'm not sure at all if this stuff is making any sense. I just tried to construct everything that its seems kind of logically to me.
I didn't put any effort in the tectonic history, and i also know the vulcans arent all that realistic, especially the divergent ones, but i think a bit artistic freedom is allowed. ^^
I also dont know anything about how tectonic movement comes to exist, so i doubt there is any logic behind the movements.
I´ll get a little deeper into sea currents and air movement and will wait for some feedback of you guys, after i´ll improve what is to improve, then i'll go on to the actuall climate layout.
Cant wait to make the height map and experiment with wilbur, too
Ah, I also calculated the planetory features:
Neonia
Circumference 1.600,00 km
Diameter 509,00 km
Radius 254,50 km
Rotation T 24,00 h
Rotations V 66,67 km/h
Mass 381.118.952.940.000 T
Density 5,51 g/cmł
Volume 69.168.594,00 kmł
Planet a 0,39 m/s^2
Wel... maybe there is a super small black hole inside an ancient alien reactor inside the planet, so the garvity is kind of earth like. Of course its not right in the center, its a little bit displaced, so there´s kind of a gravity hotsopt some where in Neonia. '
Idk, i think i may have to come up with something better. ;D
There´s acutally no element heavy enought for creating the needed gravity with this measurments, so there has to be something astronomical / fantastical.
