QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

A little clarity.
Before you create.

Setup, package contents and the details that help you get started.

Can I use this as a standalone planet pack?

No. Install either Planets URP or Planets HDRP first. This package upgrades textures for the existing Planets collection.

Are all the textures 8K?

No. Many surfaces and cloud maps are upgraded to 8K. Gas giant textures, Sandstorm cloud caps and Sun textures are upgraded to 4K. See the package contents above for the full breakdown.

How were the higher-resolution textures created?

The upgrade uses AI upscaling of the original Planets textures. It does not add a new planet shader system.
