Celestia Forums

I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea how useful this will be.. might as well post it just in case :

http://www.blender.org

A fully featured 3d modelling/animation program - open source ! Includes many effects that would be good in Celestia, such as particles and movies as textures.

Yup!

See the thread http://63.224.48.65/forum/viewtopic.php?t=600 for a list of some other 3D graphics programs.

What I meant was, could Blender's code for effects like particles etc. be used in Celestia ?
