I’ve just started making this. Made some textures in Blender and started designing the planets. I started off with the Sun and the planet that would take Venus’ place (which here isn’t a uninhabitable dryland, mind you).
The Sun:
Statistics
- Surface Temperature: 6154K
- Diameter (in solar radii): 1.06R☉ (737442 km - 458225,2 mi)
- Mass (in solar masses): 0.97M☉
- Age: 6.3b years (Late Main Sequence)
- Rotational Period: 16 days
- Planned in-game description: Gold in tone and calm in nature, The Sun is a bright, yellow star that dominates the skies of this small yet peculiar solar system. An ever-aging ball of plasma in the skies that provides warmth to all the planets that orbit it.
The Sun also has dark spots on the surface. I used a ZIndex particle to limit them to the edges of the star, to make it more realistic. You can see a few here. (you may need to pinch your eye but they’re there)
I currently do not have a name for the star… maybe i’ll just leave it as the Sun or go after a greek god or something lol
Now on the Venus counterpart (not exactly a counterpart, but in terms of orbital distance it would be one).
Derra
- Surface Temperature: 354K
- Diameter (in Earth radii): 0.98R🜨 (6250,574 km - 3883,926618564543 mi)
- Mass (in Earth masses): 1.03M🜨
- Age: 2.1b years
- Orbital Period: 0.63 years
- Rotational Period: 34.1 hours
- Atmospheric Pressure: 1.36atm
- Magnetic Field Strength (Gauss): 1.3Gs
- Planned in-game description: A small, mellow red planet echoing through the skies. Even though it’s commonly believed to be Roxia’s brother, this planet is nowhere near as habitable. With a scorching hot surface, the only thing that would keep one refreshed are the pools of water deep beneath the arid surface. Its elevated surface albedo is the only thing keeping its surface water from boiling away.
I don’t intend on it being like Venus. As you can see here, it has a atmosphere, but it has some lakes. The only downside is that the atmosphere looks bad. I have no idea on how i can fix this, but it’s alright i guess. (i tried using a inverted sphere mesh, didn’t work, since the light kept focusing on the back instead of the front)
Also, i had to severely downscale everything due to the SEVERE light distance limitations roblox puts on the light instances (the sun for example is only 2³ studs big)
