How do I make a planet, let say Earth in Unreal? I know this question was somewhat asked before, but I need a better explanation. I`ve so far been trying to create a UV Map in blender, but so far i got some trouble with the poles. Any advice on how to fix this would be great.
I have also tried simply applying a texture to a sphere in Unreal, but I get the same problem there as well with the poles, showing a white dot at each end. Also I seem to get some difference when I import to different images I have, one I just drag into unreal and its there, but the other, which gets the message about “two something something…” seems better at the poles, why is that?
I would also like to know how to create an atmosphere, clouds and more, although I probably need to figure the stuff above before I can move on to something like that. I`m planning to have the texture change overtime, so that Earth (visible from space) differ from month to month. I found a bunch of images on NASA that has earth images of all the months so I was hoping to apply that somehow.
