Grand Designer

This program remains the most complex program dedicated to making planets that I've been able to find. But that's kind of the issue. It's great but it's starting to show it's age. I'd be more than willing to buy a V2 if one were to ever be made, especially if it meant an upgrade to the graphics and overall realism of the planets. It is unfortunate though that the developer doesn't appear to be working on one, or if he is, he hasn't said so. I understand as I can only imagine how much works goes into a program like this, but still, I'd hate to see this fade away. TLDR, can I recommend this program? Yes, but hesitantly. If you buy this, do it knowing that you are buying it in a state that likely won't see another update ever again.

Grand Designer Pro is an exceptional tool for creating terrains and planets. Its versatility, user-friendly interface, attention to detail, and powerful rendering capabilities make it an indispensable asset for both beginners and experienced artists alike. If you are looking to elevate your terrain and planetary design, I highly recommend giving Grand Designer Pro a try. It is a game-changer in every sense of the word.

Every time I tried to export the planet no files were generated. I thought one could increase the details' resolutions. Despite bigger texture sizes, planets look blurry and unusable for anything serious. I asked Steam for a refund and was denied because I spent more than 2h (3h 50min) "playing the game". What an absurd, this software doesn't work as expected (no export/bad quality) and I have to keep it? Also, If you have a 4K monitor, expect small and blurry fonts.
