Cer, the 12-planet system... TEASER

Post #1by trappistplanets » 23.04.2022, 16:09

As your spaceship flies through space visiting known exoplanets, you run into a system you didn't know exist
your asteroid detection radar starts firing like crazy, you have just went pass what would be known as the Bevroren belt
you originaly plan to just use the star as a gravity boost, and want to get out of the system fast to avoid the nightmare created by the Bevroren belt, but there is one object that happens to be right in your path, and there is no turning back or else the slingshot maneuver won't work correctly

as you get closer and closer, you point one of the ship's onboard cameras at the unknown object and zoom in once its in imaging range
and what you see is something that looks like a ring in space

you realize this is the atmosphere of an object...

as you get even closer, more details slowly become visible

when the moon comes back into frame and you take your 3rd image, you can tell the moon is a lot darker than the host object, and this moon is huge in relation to its host, this combined with the height of the atmosphere, and how little this is affecting the ship's velocity, you determine this is a dwarf planet

as the ship departs the dwarf planet, you turn the onboard camera back to get the dwarf planet in frame again, and what you see is a icy world
with possible ancient or still active geology

the moon reenters frame, and you can clearly tell its all cracked up

as the dwarf planet fade in the distance, your left wondering......what else could be here, so you cancel the slingshot maneuver and decide to explore the system........what will be next? you will haft to wait and see till the release of the full Cer system addon

(credits for the textures in the system will be given during the release of the full addon)

most major moons are now textured, Textured another dwarf planet named it after a close friend of mine (yes, she knows, and she seems ok with it), and added a stellar black hole (bonus addon), the black hole is right infront of cer from earth's POV, before you guys start critisising the black hole, it's far from the Cer system, thus no effects to the system, the black hole itself will have 2-3 blanets

Guys, should i do one mega release with everything, or should break it up into 3 smaller releases the main 12+major moons (and textured minors), than release dwarf plants once all of them are textures, than release minor moons when there textured?

Added after 1 minute 23 seconds:
all currently textured dwarf planets to scale, i'll give any texture credits when thee released

north poles are facing up. Binary companions are shown below there host object

3 releases seems like the better way to go, like a slow buildup to the final version of the system. i plan to do something like that with my ww celestia stuff

Adding storms to Dinic and Sintorith, 6 and 7th planet out of the main 12

these storms were hand painted

Dinic with its Great Red Spot like storm

Jorio with Sintorith in the background, part of the Cer system


now time to make rings for Dinic and Cicero (Cicero is the 5 th planet out of main 12)


and i'll reveal Coblous (9th planet out of main 12) while on the topic of storms, as Coblous has plenty of them dark spots, including its Great Green Spot

the 3 different looking worlds of the Astrvik moon system

Astrvik is the 8th planet, its the titanlike in the image, other 2 object are its 2 moons

any credits involved in texture making will be given during final release


Added after 2 minutes 25 seconds:
a very WIDE world

Added after 15 minutes 37 seconds:
Sehar and its companion Tariq, a plutolike world named after someone important in my life (they are ok with me naming it after them)
pair.png


here is a image of Sehar and Tariq from the AST (Ares Space Telescope)
AST is just like the hubble telescope, but it orbits the 4th planet in the cer system, Ares

back to the topic of Sehar-Tariq for the last time till the release
The Grand Voyage ship flew by Sehar and Tariq during its stay in the Cer system after the crew learns the significance of the Cer system after flying by Tartarus-Asphodel

here is a gif compiled from a couple of the on board camera images taken during the flyby, this is just the arriving, not departure
no images were taken during departure, as the crew decided to send a onboard mapping probe in orbit, they had to focus on that after they launched the probe from there ship, and had to get it in orbit as distance of there ship and Sehar increased by the second
Sehar-Tariq arriving.gif
click on gif so you can view the whole gif, for some reason its not playing in the preview on the post itself

This is an addon development thread, like the Onis System and Sunlen System threads. The addon has not been released.

(I would recommend against making these kind of threads; they can go on for pages teasing an addon without any release.)
My Addons: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=19978 • Discord server admin
Celestia versions: 1.5.1, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.7.0, and some unofficial versions like Celestia-ED
