Planet Charybdis

I never liked the planet models available here on the hive, so i decided to make my own set. This is supposed to be a generic arid planet with an atmosphere.

To add a sense of depth, these planets have a modeled shadow effect tied to the head bone. This means you can control the orientation of the shadow by locking the "head" body part facing towards your star/light source, and the planets back will be shaded! If you also script your planets to orbit around the star, you will get a really cool effect. If the planet is static, you can ofcourse just adjust its facing instead.

The cloud texture, which takes up most of the space, is shared with a few other planets.
