How do you generate textures? Do they get saved after generated? In what format? How do you map them to a mesh and how do you generate sphere mesh? 
Check out this post I made a long time ago,

Maybe you would like to use the software in there to generate some space style skyboxes, unless you want to make them yourself.
Cool idea and good luck!

I already used this program to generate 6 different skyboxes. I"m just not showcasing them here. I did try to make something similar myself but it would have mean way more research that I willing to go through.

1 - Different noise generation algorithms.
2 - No need to.
3 - No saving thus no format.
4 - In the shader.
4a - What? Sphere sphere = new Sphere(..) :?

Finally, this will have to suffice for now. I’ll come back to this later on. It’s now time to move on to more important stuff like implementing parts of the crafting system.

Stars and Stripes, kuhl!
sigh
After realizing some part of the cache wasn’t working right I had to redo most of it. That wasn’t extremely fun. Or fun at all. But it’s all done and working fine now.
The sad part is the video that I scheduled to make some time ago will, because of that, have to be pushed back a little bit more. The visual changes I wanted to feature in the video haven’t been done because of that. 
They are mostly tweaks and small changes so hopefully that won’t take long.
whens the playable alpha out?
It’s playable, but interaction is rather limited. There are no real enemies or NPC, there is no quest and you can’t get anything for your inventory. Although most of that is implemented in one way or another, things are not tied up together yet.
A brand spanking new 2 minutes video showcasing procedural planet texturing in Disenthral.
The result is getting more and more to what I’m looking for. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s getting there. There is still some work to do on the gas giants, but the rest is really nice.

It might not be fully processed yet, please be patient.

Definitively, but I want to have the texturing right before putting this in. Kinda hard to see when it's dark and the planet rotates slowly. I will also change the "beach" coloring to something less pudding-like. ;)

Lucky you this wasn't a binary system with an O or B star in it. :P
“can’t see in the dark”… “don’t like pudding beaches”… what is the development community coming to these days?!?

You can also add "blinding light". ;) Like that was new.
“…the game I’m working on…” It’s bad but for some reason that always makes me think of the Family Guy bit where Stewie is giving Brian crap about that “novel he’s been working on.”

I didn’t see the second part where Brian hits Stewie. Now I have a comeback for when Normen bugs me about my novel again :evil:
