A light java version of our beloved celestia for 3d capable phones, that would be great.

Yes it's 8 bit but that does not make any visual difference because we are talking about bump mapping , a visual illusion , not an actual 3d polygon mesh besides the map resolution is low compared to the height resolution ; a bigger , lets say a 16384x8192 height map would be best for a 16 bit heigh...

Thanks :!: I FOUND A BUMP MAP MADE FROM THE KAGUYA DATA !! the forum is this http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=319db4f6ba9971e7a1011814a1739700&showtopic=6281&st=15 and the map ( TIFF 16 BIT / 26 MEg ) is this http://unmannedspaceflight.com/assets/kaguya/LALT_5760x2880_16bit_met...

the LunarLambert doesn't make any difference besides i don't want to to switch it off because it makes moons look realistic.
I don't know guys but things look to me too exaggerated with normal mapping in Celestia.I tried many normal maps with Earth Moon and Mars and they all look awful.

Daniel, you can get mine from here or here . It's an 8k/4k/2k map from Kaguya data. The file is 7.7MB. (But I'm sure John's will be better.) Guillermo wow i didn't knew that this mission released height data can someone make a bump map out of that data or convert the normal map because celestia doe...

well i just noticed ( reinstalling 1.60 to a new clean location ) that there are 8 (!) Saturn's moons having high resolution textures in the default celestia installation !! That explains all , because i have a low-end PC 4096x2048 titan 4096x2048 tethys 4096x2048 rhea 4096x2048 iapetus 4096x2048 en...

Note : I haven't upgrade the textures to a high resolution , i use the default 1.60 textures , i only have Earth in high resolution I experience very big loading lags when i go to Saturn.The program freezes for almost a minute loading textures of moons that are not visible or are dots I rotate aroun...

When executing the "Show Redshifts of Galaxies" scenario the following message appears

Note that the orbital parameters are missing; Earth won't show up.
