Topic: The surface of a planet

Hey guys, I need some help. After much trial and error, I still haven't managed to design the surface of a planet. I don't need an image of a planet, I just need the surface, like craters and things. It's for an After Effects CGI project I'm working on.

Take a look into the descriptions of this video on youtube:

You will find there links to some surfaces. May be its something like that what you are looking for.

Matte painting would work I think.

A good tutorial here.
