Celestia Forums

Hi all, at last, find below the new Celestia-FT1.1 release by Toti and myself. It is mainly a bugfix release, but there are also quite a few new features/benefits we hope: --Please read carefully the Changelog (relative to Celestia-1.4.0pre-FT1) below that lists all the fixes and code modifications...

After stumbling across this web page on the Hubble site I decided to try to incorporate these beautiful images into Celestia.Here is the result I have chosen to map the images onto the inside of an invisible sphere 10LY in radius which seems to match up with the current Constellation boundaries rad...

Yes, this is true with DSC objects. I once defined many fictious spherical nebulae, not so far away from each other. While inside one of them and watching in the direction of another one, I could easily spot some small black sphere "printed" on the current nebula texture (the one I'm in). That blac...

I presume he means the pulsar catalog at http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/catalogs.html#3.5.14 Great ! Thanks a lot Selden ! I have another question about addons : Is it normal that when we put a lots of addon in the extras folder, it appears some curious black spherical spot problem insid...

Three new addons of mine are now showing at the Motherlode. 1- RX J0806.3+1527. Two real white dwarfs rotating around their barycenter which are emitting intense x-rays from their accretion disk. 2- 8 fictious nebulae, to be used as backgrounds with any fictious addons. They can be pretty spectacul...

Hello Ariane: I had a link to az_city, but, this model is Copyright 3d Cafe, due to this, i deleted it, also i??ve done a request to 3d Cafe for a manipulation of the model due to some errors, but still i don??t have an answer. Hi Juan ! Oh ! Ok, now I understand what happened ! I hope you will hav...

AZTEC CITY The direction Greater Temple of Tenochtitlan was so that at the time of rains, the sun left to a side of the Temple of Tlaloc, and at the time of summer, left to a side of the Temple of Huitzilopochtli. During both equinoxes , the sun left in means of both temples and aimed exactly towar...

Salut, Ariane Super garde bien au chaud toute tes sources car le th??me m'int?©resse aussi (bien entendu au niveau de la mod?©lisation... j'suis pas un expert en astrophysique :oops:)... Le travail de Cham est vraiment super, mais j'aimerais faire des d?©riv?©s avec d'autres mod??les de jets (surto...

Ariane, welcome back! (did you finish your PhD, perhaps?) Greetings Fridger ! No, my PhD finished only in 2 years, and I'm not hurried ! The naval academy where I'm doing my work is so beautiful !!!

Hey !!!! Fridger !!!
As a women and french moreover, I'm not agree

but congratulation for the french ...

As your avatar, your a bad boy !

ElChristou wrote: Cool... If you need I have the rocket closed. As it is almost perfect (I have done a great effort to control all curves) why not using it? Great! Is it the same one as the one I downloaded from the Add-on repository? Another question. How should I scale Tintin relative to the rock...

For the scaling, you will have to merge all models in one it's the easier way to do. No, no, don't do that! I had a vision of Tintin following a XYZ-path while leaving the rocket, stepping down the ladder and walking to the tank. ;) maxim Hello Maxim, I'm quite curious to know how you can do that ?...

Very nice Juan, thanks for this, I like very well the precolombian cities... You may upload a package (Tenochtitlan folder with readme/info file, tenochtitlan.ssc file+ models folder with the .3ds in it) to the Motherlode site too, yes? Very good idea ! :idea: For the beginner user like me it's mor...

Another possible addition would be to have InfoURLs for each of the buildings. Or maybe even a second model that labelled the buildings. Or a latitude and longitude grid, or....

Yes ... !
Nice suggestions...I see with pleasure that there are very interesting ideas here !

Whaou !
Pretty nice ! since my discovery of Celestia, I'm looking for such addons ... and Hignt quality texture in that area, in order to zoom in and see all the aztec temples .... but I must wait a little more for that
Thank you very much !
all the best....

Hello John !
Yes, I'm very interested in having them ! I try to download them but i can't !


Bye, Ariane.

Hi Fridger, I usually use geographical information system soft, so I always verify the georeferencing. And in Mars I saw that rivers or volcanos are not perfectly superimposed (I'm sorry for my bad english... I work to improve it ! :lol: ) So... i just want to know if it's possible to correct this e...

Hello everybody, I just discover celestia and i am very impressing by the "community" of celestia. Thank you to all to allow us having such beautiful addons ! I studied Mars with remote sensing and I'm interested in available textures but I have some difficulties to realigned them.... Does somebody ...
