Hi Three.js Community 👋,  
  
I just wrapped up a whirlwind project and couldn’t wait to show it off!  
[3dplanetgenerator.com](https://3dplanetgenerator.com) is a single-page app that lets you spin up fully-textured planets right in the browser.  
  
All Three.js under the hood – PBR materials, PMREM lighting,…  
One-click randomizer – clouds, rings, moons are toggles.  
OrbitControls for smooth pan/zoom.

Three.js still blows my mind.  
  
[DEMO](https://3dplanetgenerator.com/#demo)

It’s still pretty simple right now, but I’ll keep iterating on it.  
Clear skies & happy coding! 🚀  
  
Leon

Looks good. Is it supposed to look low-polyish?

If you ever decide to add textures, you might consider these:

Many thanks to Pavel Boytchev for the fantastic suggestion!  
I recently updated [3dplanetgenerator.com](http://3dplanetgenerator.com) to include the amazing “three/addons/exporters” module, enabling planet model export for easy reuse on other 3D platforms.

Give it a try here: [Exporter](https://3dplanetgenerator.com/#exporter)
