New Hi/Low res sun textures....

Post #1by Rassilon » 03.08.2002, 08:26

These will completely replace your current ones with 2048x1024 texes or if you have a voodoo or something 512 x 256 are included...The highres one has both where as the low res one has well you can figure that one out...

No screenies this time...Trust me you wont be dissapointed...I hope :mrgreen:

btw try using the flare I included otherwise you WILL be dissapointed...

Highres ~ 6 meg

Lowres ~ 600k

Excellent Rassilon, I especially like the new Flare effect. BTW I had the High Res pack and am really impressed with the difference (taking nothing away from the original).

When are you releasing the second part of the solar system pack, and what's in it??

Thanks...the solar system I am holding off till celestia 1.25 is out as well as another system I have been working on..which needs stars to be added in order to work...

Once again I updated the flare...no detail in this one at all and I must say I like this one personally better than all the others I have made...so I thought I would share...plus it hardly takes from the detail of the stars which is also a bonus when used with my sun textures...Enjoy!

Chris would it be possible to add to emissive objects these script commands?

FlareColor [ 1 1 0 ]

or maybe to stc files...
