Cool! Thanks Hank! I'll keep an eye out for it.

Sorry, that was me!

Hank,

When will you release 1.3.2 for OS X?

BTW, thanks for all the work getting Celestia up and running on the superior platform, MAC!

I'm guessing you have no clues for the MAC side of the fence. Right now I am ristricted to that. I am actually using a product called Anark Studio www.anark.com , which is basically a platform for putting together rich media using 3D. If you haven't seen it you should. Anyway there are ways in that ...

Thanks guys. Maxim I have your stuff and will have a look. How about envoking mouse/keyboard events to control/navigate Celestia from Flash (I'll use that app as the running example) to say, use a .cel to get to the ISS upon launch of Celestia but then be able to manipulte the station from there. Id...

Has anyone tried, or does anyone know of someone who has tried to control Celestia from an external application like Flash or Anark Studio or even from a browser?

Embeding Celestia inside of some sort of external UI would open up some interesting possibilities for rich media applications.

Greetings all. I am in need of some programming help.! We all know how fantastic Celestia is and each of us has their own list of wants and needs but I have one that will help not just this community but a broader community, visitors to planetaria worldwide. Currently we have, at least that I am awa...

Toti, This is an interesting concept. I have actually explored and tried something similar with MEL scripts in Maya but got busy and frustrated with working out the c, the language used in the sim I was working with. Again I am only an artist, not a computer scientist! you could write scripts to imp...

Just to let all of you know I run a quite loaded version of Celestia on a G4 1.3ghz powerbook, 1.5g of ram and 64mb vram. I am using OS 10.3.4 and have really no problems. I have all the VT's I can get loaded (you should use VT's, they make the system run smoother), spacecraft... basically every goo...

Sorry, That last post was me. Guess I wasn't logged in

An edit: I am on a powerbook G4 MAC so I currently can't run the 1.3.2 pre. and I don't have access to a windoz box at the moment. This means I really can't tell what the script does so if you can fill me in...

thanks

Hmmmmm

This sounds like someone else who could use a flightpath generation/editing interface/tool.

see the thread on flightpaths....

Hi Frank (and all) I have already had a play with your educational scripts and the are superb. I can already see many uses for such beasts, especially running on a small 1.5 meter “personal dome” such as what Elumins makes. That being said, trying to direct/produce a dome show or something for say I...

Thanks Selden. Got it and I'll have a play here in a bit.

Any Ideas on better textures for Cassini and Huygens?

Any notions on attaching real-time telimitry to a model if one could get such things?

Have you heard if the pre8 (or later) has been ported to MacOS yet?

Thanks Joe, Colors are gone and VT's are working like a champ. It was calling the wrong render path. Good call! I'll load the big earth VT's in the morning.

I will be able to get .5 meter res for anywhere that is not politically hot. Should make things interesting eh!!! Start buying storage!!!!!

Hello all. Re: Rayleigh scattering is (named after after Lord Rayleigh) is the scattering of light by particles smaller than the wavelength of the light. It occurs when light travels in transparent solids and liquids, but is most prominently seen in gases. Rayleigh scattering of sunlight from partic...

Hello. I have a few newbie questions I need some help with. I am currently using a mac powerbook G4, with an ATI radion/64mb (I will buy a windoz box later this week to play with the more complete implimentation) and I am running 10.3.4. 1. When I am the moon, or Mars (as example) there is some sort...

Thanks for the warm welcome all! Generally. The Gates is a superb facility and really worth seeing. Unfortunatly it is not without its bugs. Issues with projector alignments and high maintanance of the Onyx made/makes the system quite difficult to manage/run. That being said, the nights I spent sitt...

Let me first say this. WOW! CONGRATULATIONS! You all have done amazing work. I know this because I lead the development of a quite similar project at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Cosmic Atlas (CA), the simulation designed to work with high end planetariums like the Gates at DMNS, is amaz...
