I found a "scorched ice giant" that's basically skimming the surface of its star. Not sure what kind of ice can survive those 1800 K temperatures...

Can any planet be that close to a star?

Hoooow do you people take such wonderful pictures? I get lots of smooth terrain and blocky clouds with seams.

I have a GF 970 with the latest stable drivers.

Yeah. I guess pausing it and just letting it sit there helps a little, but I still see plenty of texture seams and weird clouds.

I think a lot of that planned detail is not really going to be possible for a very, VERY long time. And probably not without a whole lot of help.
