What was the black you were laying down? It was a very dark color; it almost looked like the surface was burned.

Oh yeah, I just painted it black. So I basically just did the same thing as we did with the snow. I painted some darker values down on the planet, swapped to my object presets, applied some darker plates to it, and here we go, dark spots on the planet. Could be anything really. Petrified roots, let's say. Again, I'm not only changing this spot right here. We are changing everything that turned dark in this area on the entire planet. So you're never just editing one area that you're looking at. That's something that people constantly have to remind themselves of.
