Celestia Forums

Hi. I'm new to creating add-on models for celestia. I just recently downloaded Anim8or and have been having a blast with it. This gives a whole new dimension to Celestia for people like me who love space, and love the idea of populating it even more!

I was wondering if any of you developers would be interested in a bunch of near-future fictional spacecraft (so far I have a personnel capsule stage, a lunar cargo lander, and a circumlunar space tug model, and a small launch complex surface model). I plan on doing a lunar in-situ propellant depot and a mars spacecraft as well in the future.

I have a few images on my web-blog. I'm currently searching for storage space off my school provided homepage for files.

PS. I'm having trouble assigning textures to faces. They seem to work in Anim8or, but don't show up in Celestia when I launch it.

While developers tend to make their own models, end-users are usually delighted to play with new and different spacecraft.

Celestia's CMOD mesh format easily handles multiple textures, but 3dstocmod can translate only a single texture per mesh. That's one of the reasons I wrote an export script for Anim8or.
