    I've gotten some beautiful backdrops for my space renders out of this Add-on. I've done eevee and cycles renders and they both work.

    It's looking great, quite easy to use and huge time saver. Has some bugs, here and there (or it's just me). And can't wait for new features that are being developed.
    Clouds and "night side" emissions are the ones I'm looking forward most.

    Haven’t really gotten it to work at all, maybe my installation is faulty. But my textures are simply not visible most of the times I can’t even see the planets no matter how big the radius. It is not affected by the sunlamp. Though I can’t rate it lower since I recognise the possibility that this may be great. I may change my rating but for now I am (no matter how much I don’t want to accept it) disappointed. I would really need a way for troubleshooting or a tutorial common mistakes because I admit I may not do it correctly so, please help.

    Great work and I see this addon becoming my favourite if I just get it to work since I do a lot of Star Wars stuff.

    Big fan of physical starlight and atmosphere, but this addon seems quite limited and a little less user friendly.

    Is there any way to add clouds to the planets?
    Also, when adding planets to my scene, they are very difficult to see.

    I really like the planets in the demo files, but there doesn't seem to be any way to use them in the asset browser, and there are no textures or anything that I can choose inside of the addon. I expected to be able to add some basic templates?

    Perhaps there is something wrong with my installation.

    Anyway - looking forward to the updated version.

      Hey Jediah,
      Thank you for the feedback! As the addon is still in alpha it may be finicky, but we are working to make it more user-friendly and feature-rich with every update.

      Adding a Clouds layer is the most requested feature and it is coming soon. It is possible (as I’ve seen our colleague Adrians do it) and if you are keen and cannot wait for it - you can ask for his approach on our Discord channel ([https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr](https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr)).

      Could you elaborate on why it is hard to see the planets? Are they too small upon creation or what is the context you are in? Please send us a message at support@physicaladdons.com or in the Discord #help section and we’ll get back to you shortly.

      We want to make planets available in the Asset browser, but this feature is still in the ideation phase as it is not that simple and will require some workarounds. We do have a README file in the folder where we have provided links to a set of planets.

    Im in love. Could you guys upload a video about how it works and also how to combine PCO with PSA? Thanks a lot!

      Thank you for your feedback, Victor! We just released (still a work in progress) the PCO documentation page https://www.physicaladdons.com/pco/documentation/. A new version of PCO beta is coming this week and fixing a batch of issues. After the release of the beta version, we will put some effort into creating video content in order to show some tips and tricks on how the addon works.

    Incredible so far. Do you think starfields will be implemented in the future as well?

      Hi Lincoln, Thank you for your feedback! We’ll implement starfields in the upcoming updates. Stay tuned ;)
