Planet Uranus

I never liked the planet models available here on the hive, so i decided to make my own set. Alright, so here's Uranus. Whatever anus jokes you're thinking of telling... just don't.

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 ring texture is shared with Saturn.

My only problem with these planet models would be the rate at which they're spinning, it's a tiny bit too fast for my personal taste but that's not a big deal.
The shadow feature seems pretty cool also. :)

I didn't test any of the planets ingame to spot any possible bugs, so I'm just going to assume they work fine.
