Danielj your ranting is getting out of hand and annoying now STOP IT! There have been many an addon that I have not been able to install in the past, so I didn't install them And because of this I have never yet installed a virtual texture to this day. Because when virtual textures first started, my...

Of course, if people want to vaste resources, then instead of the FAST and stable LINUX or Win XP, they pump their machine full with the unstable VISTA. ;-) Daniel: you can always do what I did. I got so fed up with all problems related to Vista that I through it out the window.. :wink: How did Dan...

Sorry

Im not sure what the fuss is about vista.

I have been running Celestia Perfectly since Vista's Launch.
Or at least since the 2nd set of Beta graphics drivers was released.

How about an upgrade, Paul? (0.82)

Bye Fridger

Yes I have 0.82, those screenshots are linked from the Stellarium site itself, guess they need to update them.

ftw! American slang for somthing ? F**k The World Regards, Anders ftw = For the win. lol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_slang_phrases#F For the win! huh... okay, and thats further American slang for somthing? That picture is for the win... hmm! still don't get it :roll:

Celestia is made to be a realistic 3D recration of our Solarsystem to be viewed from the inside, it can do what you need in a limited fasion. But If you want a nice direct replacement for skyglobe (used to use skyglobe myself) Try Stellarium, its a very nice realtime sky viewer. This works in exactl...

That produces surely incorrect results for the applications required in Celestia. Standard normalmap generators assume /flat/ geometries of the surfaces. We need normalmaps on /spherical/ or even more complex curved surfaces! Ahh that would be why i was getting strange results and seam lines then T...

Sorry guys I havent had any chance to try it with 16k textures
I didn't know.

still a nice program for the smaller stuff
any good success with the normal map creator?

Don for a really nice small and Free tool for viewing and creating DDS files you might want to take a look at this superb free paint program. Paint.net is here http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html http://www.getpaint.net/screenshots/pdn30_camaro_thumb.jpg Its called paint.net and its very small and p...

Been patiently waiting for this for quite a while now Don.
It's looking very special indeed.

Will you be embeding the spec map into the DDS file?

Fenerit and Cham... These add-ons are very beautiful, thank you both. It would be great to see all eight planets in a line - each showing the internal structures and each in their original size. as an educational add-on. And is it not possible that the altsurface command can also change the model as...

Best is a matter of Opinion My advice would be to search out the maps or use the motherload here > http://celestiamotherlode.net You could download three of the same maps at a time. Then re-name the files to the same filename and put one in each of the three Res folders. Then switch between the reso...

Thank you BH and Fridger.

The Comet tails certainly are looking nice now, they seemed to be very squashed and sharp looking in Pre 1

And congratulation on Celestial Matters too, fantastic site.

Oh I am Embarrassed, its a new feature I didn't realise had been added Thank you Selden, now I have looked closer to the sun, 2P-Enck is fine. I just go to Halley when I want to check comets by default normally. I didnt realise the tails was updated, but they certainly look much better for it and no...
