Enhance Dying Sun

Post #1by Fenerit » 27.07.2009, 22:17

Hey Vincent, finally an avatar! C'mon sa va? Just an enhancement of default Dying Sun add-on. "old" Red Giant is replaced with an animate "gaseous-like" red star. (This was thought in jail...).

I don't post the video because is more huge in size of what can be directly seen in Celestia by downloading the zip file (1.6 Mb, mostly the two textures). All add-on's models haven't polys, just vertex (two are static sprites).

The star fade color from closest white to far red star without too much "points' emphatization" effect, even though the presence of Sol inside the red giant influence this behaviour, while whether placed elsewhere in space, it behaves not bad, free from Sol's light at center. A script for hiding Sol is required, but when I've attempt to build one, Dying_Sun add-on desappear from visibility window, yet whether I only write reference to script in Dying_Sun.lua file and the script is empty (Vincent?...).

I've uncomment some Mie/Lord (Darth? :lol: ) Rayleigh parameter which could be tested because acts on star in a interesting manner.

Note the second image: from the floor at 11 PM North West. Good night!
