HELP! - Complete N00B needing a complex Eclipse Render

Post #1by ktduk » 09.12.2007, 06:03

Hi guys,
Im an IT Consultant for a company called Eclipse Technology Centre.
I've always wanted to create an Eclipse of the sun passing the earth. Now I am sure that is possible with Celestia. But I also want to break some of the laws of physics. I just about get the idea of setting camera angle so I can be far away but things look big :) IE Sun and Earth are same size and are relative to 2/3rds of the viewport. However I need to create the eclipse from blcak to light and also increase the speed of earths rotation during this. Any help and pointers would be hugely apreciated as although I can build and deploy windows servers. 3D animation and astrophysics are not my skillset at all.

Regards
