Hi! This is really great! I have a question though. I can't really find any settings where it'll animate nicely like shown in the preview while you're creating the planet, either itll be too jittery or too fast. What settings are ideal for this?

Hm ok, so the planet in the preview makes 1 rotation in exactly 50 seconds. Assuming you have a 60 Hz monitor that would make for 3000 frames, which is a lot. If you want it like the preview I recommend you use the shaders themselves directly instead of an image.
If you really want an image you could try a gif with 1000 frames and a length of 17 seconds. Or a spritesheet of say 50 frames wide & 60 frames high. Both of these will take some time to export however.
Hope that works!
Yeah, I actually need an mp4 or a gif since I thought itd be really cool to use moving images for the important planets in my Lancer campaign as visuals. It actually didn't render ridiculously slow (~30 seconds). Edit: it seems like gas giant 2 gives a lot of grief but the others are reasonable
Your assessment that I needed a way longer gif with way more frames was definitely correct, though!
I would like to try it with 3000 frames as you suggested. Sadly, the game doesn't let me set the amount of frames at a maximum of 1000. Is that limit hardcoded somewhere? (Tho 50 seconds with 1000 frames is a decent result already)
