Celestia v1.2.5pre6: comet tails not blocked by other obj

Post #1by selden » 26.10.2002, 19:31

While comparing the CfA and Horizons positions of Hale-Bopp, I discovered that the cometary tail of one of them was visible through the "asteroid" body of the other.

The asteroid body of the background comet is obstructed when it goes behind the foreground asteroid. It'd be nice if cometary halos were obstructed, too.

This happens also when using a model for a nebula. The nebula will appear in front of all objects within its radius.
I'm trying to teach the cavemen how to play scrabble, its uphill work. The only word they know is Uhh and they dont know how to spell it!
