Looking for 8k or 16k earth clouds, dds

Post #1by Cham » 25.03.2004, 23:31

I'm looking for a realistic 8k or 16k earth clouds texture, in dds format. I lost the version I had from this site :

http://216.231.48.101/~impulse/Earth_Ce ... ntral.html

Unfortunately, I can't download it anymore from this site.

Anyone hase a 8k Earth-clouds in dds format ?

Cham,
Earth Central is still there. When shatters.net moved to a new ISP and got a new ip address it broke all the hyper links. Of course those who are a little more web gifted can still get ahold of the files. It is as simple as copying the the hyperlinks into another window and changing the old ip adress to the new one. But to help out until I can get all the hub sites back up here are the links to my 8k Summer clouds.

adn here are the 4k

The rest of the files can be found by looking around inside http://216.231.48.101/~impulse/Earth_Central/downloads/

Also remember that if you use the 8k clouds you have to turn off cload animation or stop them by setting there speed to "000". there is no work around for this problem at this time. If you need to have the clouds moving than you will have to use the 4k version. If you look in the downloads folder you will find the cloud shadows texture as well as all the others.
Hope this helps and I hope to have the sites back up soon.

By the way,

how can I use the CloudShadowMap ? Is there a specific command in Celestia for clouds shadows ?
