Seasonal textures.

Post #1by Harpeum » 07.07.2003, 05:36

Hello developers.

Please can anyone tell me if is possible create conditional textures. Something like this:

Texture {
Season
if (jd/(equivalent condition I)) {
texture "earth-summer.jpg"
}
else if (jd/(equivalent condition II)) {
texture "earth-autumn.jpg"
}
else if (jd/(equivalent condition III)) {
texture "earth-winter.jpg"
}
else if (jd/(equivalent condition IV)) {
texture "earth-spring.jpg"
}
}
NightTexture "eathnigth.jpg"

--------

This will abble us to make station textures for mars ice caps too or if used in night textures may be possible make jupiter tunders! 8O In addition layer effects, would create more dinamic and realistc scenes.

Tanks. :wink:

Yes it can be done and I myself started to work on this but I stoped due to a lack of information and data. I latter found what I needed but the whole thing is on hold until I can finish the other big projects I am working on. As soon as I am finished I plan to continue the work I started.

I might answer a PM or a post if its relevant to something.

Ah, never say never!!
Past texture releases, Hmm let me think about it

Thanks for your understanding.
