From where and how do you get your Moon or Planet a nice custom texture?

This question is of course about Planet Studio.

    @Mastercam dont worry it takes quite a bit of time to understand the systems that are in place for making the planets. The files that controls the creation each of the planets/systems can be found in the SR2 folder under UserData/CelestialDatabase.

    @Insanity :/
    I thought people were getting these terrain "textures" from google, or just making them on their own.

    I will slowly get to this on my own, i guess.

    @Mastercam thats not actually just a texture, as the planets arent 2D. Its the actual terrain thats been changed, which is basically just a sphere with many verticies which have their height determined by different noise textures in the form of terrain mofifiers. The actual process of making a planet/moon is pretty complex and i couldnt just explain it in a single comment.

    @Insanity Texture of the surface, i guess?
    But you can tell me about changing the terrain too.
    Im talking about where from do people get the custom textures for their celestial bodies, and how they make the textures work.

    Here are 2 examples of what im talking about.
    Example 1
    Example 2 You see, the planet/moon looks different. It haves a different texture.

    Do you mean the texture of the surface or are you talking about changing the terrain?
