I'm not sure if I already asked that question before, and I can't find the answer easily, so here it is anyway.

Is it possible to have bumpmap on an asteroid ? More generaly, can we have bumpmaps on a mesh, in Celestia ?

I guess the answer is no, but I need a confirmation.

The answer is no, at present.

I'm working right now on a new mesh format that will allow you to have bump maps.

I hope it wont break the actual mesh format. I mean, will the next version of Celestia be able to use the old format as well as the new one ?

I guess the answer is yes, or it wont make any sense.

Do you have an approximate idea for the release date of the next version of Celestia, for Mac OS X ? I can't wait to have the preferences bugs corrected under OS X (Celestia is always forgetting most of my preferences settings after quiting it).
