Planet Earth

I never liked the planet models available here on the hive, so i decided to make my own set. First up is the good ol' Earth.

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.

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

Whoa!
Awesome :D
But is there any way to make the rotation slow down?
Once you scale these babies up a notch you begin to realize they spin WAY too fast (at least too fast for my taste)
