being able to freely choose the background color in celestia would be a *very* useful thing. adding one feature would spare many users repeatedly doing de-black-backgrounding work... of course one can work around a black background in image manipulators, but -- as soon as you have more complex and f...

hey siriusmistery thanks for the input, but that was'nt what i'm looking for. i am aware of the orbit command. the question goes wheter it is possible to smoothly orbit *and* changedistance at the same time, and on top of that, start doing it while approaching using the go cmd. the thing that starsh...

hey starshipwright

thanks for the link, it kinda looks like what i'm looking for... and, as a mac user, i finally need to jump over the shadow and install that boot camp to run win on my machine..

hello everybody has anyone managed to get the camera move smooth on complex paths? for example: if i would like to go from earth to saturn and swing directly from the go into an orbit that gently moves slower. is that possible? i can think of a workaround by defining the flight path with an xyz-file...

hello i have been working on a very complex mesh model, that tells the story of a utopic transformation of the earth: http://www.waldvogel.com/download/globus-cassus_celestia.jpg one would live on the inside, therefore clouds would be visible from the inside. i have encountered the problem, that a c...

hi selden in my early celestiadays, you suggested "modify" to replace the earth: You just have to create an SSC file containing the single line Modify "Earth" "Sol" { Mesh "name-of-mesh.3ds" } . can i use "modify" in conjunction with "beginning" and "ending" t...

hi everybody who's deep into coding! i'm working on a quite complex presentation with celestia, where alot of objects and different textures are used. hence management of texture memory is a perfomance issue. so my question is: if a (perhaps preloaded) texture becomes unnecessary because an object h...

hi everybody

unfortunately i am not proficient enough to compile... so therefore please let me ask this question:

does anybody have a compiled version of celestia 1.4.1 for osx with the sound patch?

thank, best -blueberry

hello everyone i am importing a complex 3ds file into celestia for osx and i encounter strange problems with coloring/texturing: - 3ds file does only show if i assign a texture from the .ssc file in the extras folder. - if no texture but color is assigned in .ssc nothing is visible - if i export a 3...

hi everyone

i am trying to replace the earth by a construct that i have designed. adding a 3d model and scripting it so it takes over the properties of the earth seems straightforward. but how can i, first of all, remove earth from my celestia?

answers are greatly appreciated, best -blueberry
