Celestia Forums

took me way too long but I just updated the links in the original post to use the celestiaproject.space domain rather than the old celestia.space domain, so those links now work again

There are noises on the day-night edges of planets when you zoom at the planets from big distance yeah I've known about this for a while since the per-pixel rendering was introduced. I imagine it's probably got something to do with the amount of samples, so the only way to fix it would be to add mo...

well Wikipedia says "EBLM J0555-57Ab, the smallest star in the system, orbits its primary star with a period of 7.8 days, and at the time of discovery, was the smallest known star with a mass sufficient to enable the fusion of hydrogen in its core. " so it's not the smallest star, but it i...

might be a Windows 11 thing that wasn't backported to 10

you know, normally I'd complain about necroposting but... this is actually being helpful

title says everything I guess. this account will be used to somewhat replace the Twitter account, and since most Twitter users are flocking to Bluesky in anticipation of the platform's collapse, it is good to have anyway

coming back to this... given that I'm unable to access the Twitter account and onetwothree is too busy to manage it, we should probably just branch out to other platforms. Facebook and Instagram would be the best options, since they have very large userbases. lev and I discussed the possibility of a...

since I am currently unable to use TweetDeck to run the Twitter account, I can definitely vacate some of my free time to other social media platforms. though I am not really familiar with neither Facebook nor Instagram

Before today, Celestia's Twitter account was managed by me and onetwothree, which was possible via a once third-party website called TweetDeck that allowed for users to efficiently manage one or more Twitter accounts at the same time. Due to the recent changes to Twitter's API, TweetDeck completely ...

i suspected it was because of something like this. after installing the shaders it works fine when looking at just the Milky Way, it hovers around 30-31 FPS, and will sometimes drop down to 29. when near Andromeda, the FPS is anywhere from 30 to 44, depending on angle and distance from the galaxy. T...

strange, i will see if i can get one created while galaxies are enabled

Are you using custom models for the Milky Way? only a modified version of the " Tandrixis : Milky Way " addon from the motherlode, it shouldnt interfere with galaxy rendering at all since it is just a nebula model, but yes i can test without it no Milky Way model, galaxies on: nomilkywaym...

For those whose videocards support GL >= 3.2, please check these artifacs. Do you observe any galaxy rendering speedup (FPS increase)? using commit b4dee08 (Qt6) to set a baseline, i tested and here are the results for that: - intergalactic space with no galaxies or just the Milky Way in the frame:...

only hleb is developing the Qt frontend at the moment. unless my memory is foggy and tribick has already done some stuff with the Qt frontend since re-joining the dev team

OK, now I don't get it. Will Markerz develop a Qt UI for Windows? i dont know what lev is doing regarding Qt frontend development. as far as i know he prefers to stick to just mac and mobile development Can you learn to build a UI for Windows? :think: yes. can i do it now? no. can i do it quickly e...

and I suppose it should be easy to find similar programs on windows yes, OBS exists, its free and easy to use while still having lots of functionality If there are new features and requires complicated UI, I don't think they'll come to win32 frontend i agree on this. win32 is old and is missing ton...

"collapses"? what? it would be more helpful if you included a video or screenshot because i dont understand this at all

1. Is it possible and how to fix the polar axis during the rotation of the planets? (North is always up as in Google Earth) this doesnt make any sense. north is oriented north by default. i dont understand how it could possibly be oriented any other way unless you messed with the files 2. Is it pos...
