Re: Post your Celestia pictures!
My lavender gas giant actually has TWO naturally habitable moons!
Terraformed Pluto: Now with New Horizons maps! :D
Re: Post your Celestia pictures!
I always get them from BC because the models are more detailed and they tend to come with higher resolution textures. I've had correspondence with the gentleman that created the 1701-F and 1701-G and he can be touchy about people porting his works. Make sure to tell your friend bdfd to get permission from him before uploading anything onto the motherlode using those ships.J.T.K. wrote:Reiko wrote:Where is he porting them from?J.T.K. wrote:Hello Reiko (and others),
These are three models in final progress by bdfd.
1° USS Enterprise-F class Century
2° USS Enterprise-G class Eclipse
3° and the last USS Enterprise-J class Celestial (with a 'l' too )
...
I think that they came from SFCIII or BC.
And yours ?

Re: Post your Celestia pictures!
I finally modified my Earth rings to better reflect Earth's roche limit:
Now that I've done that, I can do what I've been itchin' to do for a very long time:
Fungun was nice enough to make me a better aeroplane model and apply textures, after I posted in the Modelling section. My thanks and gratitude go to him.
Thank you, Fungun!
Some more:
Plane on one of the habitable moons of the Lavender Gas Giant. (Hires.)

Re: Post your Celestia pictures!
Strange, but cool. The gas giant's clouds appear to actually have texture. How did you do that?

You can do that by making normal maps out of the textures.Tegmine wrote:Strange, but cool. The gas giant's clouds appear to actually have texture. How did you do that?

Ah. Always nice to learn something new. Here's something I recently learned...a new way to do textures...

Re: Post your Celestia pictures!
Wow. Imagine that for your nightly view...although, it wouldn't be very dark for nighttime!
fungun: I picked up the method from here-

It took a little time for me to get everything right, and it's still not 100% perfect (some seam issues I didn't show) but it's a nice alternative way to make some nice planet textures. Thanks.

I may have to put a solar system in there. It would make a beautiful night sky.t00fri wrote:For SciFi fans (Celestia.Sci):

Orbiting high above the Vulcan home world.
Re: Post your Celestia pictures!
Yes those are screenshots from Celestia. I made Vulcan orange because that is how it looked in Enterprise.J.T.K. wrote:Ouah Reiko, Is it really under celestia ?
Vulcan seems so orange...
Here is a screencap from the series...

Recreation of the Avatar Scene, with the pandorafied version of Belle Hades as the main feature. The gas giant, named Belle Keres, has it's own great storm, which is partially hidden by high altitude bands of clouds.

Very nice! How did you make the gas giant?

Why not Reiko and the debates are open.
But in the last Star Trek Movie of JJ abrams in 2009, Vulcan is not orange and I think it's more darky and so real.
Yes it looked more brown and dark in the 2009 movie and in the original series it had a huge icecap. I suppose it's a matter of preference and in my case I prefer the Enterprise interpretation mainly because it was my favorite series.

Thanks!Reiko wrote:Very nice! How did you make the gas giant?
I must admit it is a Jupiter texture re-color... It was originally intended for use on Jupiter itself, after I made that post last year in this thread depicting Earth as a moon of Jupiter. However, while I liked the recolor, I liked Jupiter's original colors better, so I saved the texture for later use, and eventually wound up using it for Belle Keres.
If you look carefully, you can see portions that kind of retain some of the original colors. I kept those portions because they blended in well and I thought they added a nice touch.

Re: Post your Celestia pictures!
I downloaded the new Milky Way addon from the Motherlode, inflated the sphere's radius like Cham suggested in the thread about the addon, and came up with a nice looking view in Delta Trianguli.
I booted up Celestia for the first time of the day the other day, and came across an interesting eclipse occurring in real time, with Tartarus eclipsing Belle Hades' two suns right after the suns themselves finished their own eclipse.
I made a screenshot specifically for a new page on my website, but I thought It looked nice, so I figured I'd post it here too.

Yes, here is the bdfd's version finished this evening.
The warp nacelles of NX-05 alias Atlantis are blue like 99.9% of Star Trek vessels.
I left the NX-05 nacelles more white because I felt there should be a difference since it's a warp 7 ship.
Anyways, here is a more detailed NV-01 Intrepid warp 3 ship.
the textures need tweaking but it's almost finished.
