The fact that Celestia is running at such high frame rates is due to your graphics driver settings. If you bring up the Display Properties control panel (I'm assuming you're running on Windows) and click the advanced button, you'll see a dialog box with a bunch of different options for your graphic...

"Celestial...3. Supremly good; sublime: celestial happiness."

Have you looked into any of these?

offer the wise ones these few crumbs, they may answer your call

The good Doctor, it seems, is about to deliver himself of a whole new universe.

Gosh, Max...eighteen months? Many are the threads long dead that may aid you in this time of need. May I be the first to ask what sort of operating system is included in MaX www.benchmark.co.yu _________________ A64 3500+ @2750 MHz & CM Hyper6 * MSI K8N SLI Platinum * TWINX1024-4400C25 * WD Cavi...

The latest Blender...2_36...is worth another look. To a fellow nuB the following link has been just the thing.

Thumbs up from an american hitching a ride thru the ever increasingly "realistic" :wink: Celestia. Threads as they've been, thought ya'll could use the encouraging words and the following aside...I know observer changes observed but from this perspective (my eyes only?) Celestia seems constantly cha...

Tleilax,
What sort of texture? What ssc refers to this texture? The dimensions, type and name of the texture involved and what sort of ssc you've created are important to know. Is this for your Dune project?

Hengchun, Have you seen any of the forum posts re:Celestia1.4.0pre6? Your graphics card may support the OpenGL 2.0...if so...your Celestial reality would include being able to use the directory stucture you spoke of (extras by the addons "directions"). Can anyone confirm this? 1.4.0pre6 is just so d...

Thanks for the quick response. It should have been obvious to me that an image would have to be included in step_4, oops... The "illusion" would be somewhat like Selden's A Map Plane for Celestia http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/map-plane.html which is still pretty cool. SteveC.

So, is it possible to use the "actual photos of the pole regions" Fridger spoke of (or any such photographed regions) as part of the layering of images, steps 7 thru 9, from ElChristou? Im trying to create sort of an "illusion" of greater detail...

I recently changed the cfg file to run extras folder from my D drive. So far so good, everything seems great. My question is... does the following ssc in some way change the colours of a particular texture? Celestia opens to this earthview just fine, yet when I had it installed to the Celestia/textu...

Have you created an ssc file for this VT?
Example-
AltSurface "m46 shaded JPG" "Sol/Mars"
{
Texture "m46shaded JPG.ctx"
# NormalMap "m46Normal PNG.ctx"
}
