Thanks for your kind replies. I exactly need to develop a new textures for the Earth, populated with geolocated places for meteor impact, earthquakes and view it (the texture only) from inside of the Earth ( from the centre). To watch spherical texture of the Earth from inside of the Earth . (not to...

Thanks Jogad for your kind reply.

Just trying to work out how to watch extra Earth's texture from inside, as spherical texture viewer.

Thank you John for your kind reply. I plan to use Celestia and "from the inside of the Earth" as a viewer for geolocations, earthquakes, meteor impacts on the surface I tested basic Glimp manual drawing as a texture and it worked fine. Ok, conversion of cylindrical to spherical coordinates...

Hi, What app is ok to edit standard images into spherical Earth texture ? Can such texture be watched from inside of the Earth ? Just visited Creating Textures for Celestia http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/textures.html 2.1.3: Projection software. http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/tex...

thanks,
does it mean this trajectory can be downloaded from a known web page
and installed in Celestia to be verified against registered videos ?

Could you tell me how to develop trajectory for the Chelyabinsk Meteor, video recorded by a number of peers at geolocations based on the following compilation of videos to work for Celestia ?

It looks like some basic elements of Celestia like slideshow add-on can be done in HTML5 Planetarium project via Javascript scripted slideshow. Not sure if developers of Planetarium have plans to implement 3D OpenGL objects to make it work more alike Celestia in a future. https://developer.mozilla.o...

Thanks for your kind assistance.

First, learn how to make a slideshow reading the manual (I know! not a very new answer!) I did it > great manual in pdf format. Tried to test opening cel file in _slideshow.txt but get error on file opening and Celestia closes, trying to send error to Microsoft. My test cel file print ("test&q...

Thanks jogad for your kind comments. I am trying to learn syntax of Slideshow txt file and have no idea what "symbol" is used to separate individual slides or to create a new slide. Downloaded http://www.celestiaproject.net/forum/download/file.php?id=4047 downloaded updated slideshow.zip t...

Excellent Slideshow extras for Lua Edu Tools (tried to contact jogad via PM but failed) Just installed Slideshow and testing on slow PC. How to develop and view more slideshow animations as demos ?

This is mend purely for save/backup the existing config.lua. Just safety reasons for a later possible fall-back. Copy it to any place you like or indeed rename it eg. config.bkp Reason: by the installation that follows, the existing config.lua will be overwritten. After the installation there will ...

Thanks John, from just where on " ? the internet?" nothing changes very fast You are exactly right. I get Earth's images from Nasa and need to configure Celestia to act as a smart viewer. I get Earth's satellite imaginery and need to use Celestia as a smart viewer. Since Celestia supports ...

Hi, Interested to have textures refreshed, updated on-the-fly from the net. It looks like Lua-web-tools support Apache web server, mySql and more. Since I live on Win32 XP I plan to install cygwin, compile Lua-web-tools to keep downloading textures from Internet and have Celestia's Cel/ Celx / Lua s...
