Gliese 229 system

Well, here's my last addition to Celestia, the Gliese 229 system, composed by a little red dwarf and a warm brown dwarf that orbits it from the far distance. I also included some fictional moons (planning to add some more, maybe asteroid-like). Here are some screenshots

New brown dwarf texture:

Gliese B glowing on the dark side; Gliese A is far away on the right side.

They look great!
Will you be making the .ssc and textures available?

Every time I try to access either
http://www.la-guarida.com/Celestia/Image/
or
http://www.la-guarida.com/Celestia/

I get "no se ha encontrado la p?gina" from
http://personales.ya.com/error/error.html
while http://www.la-guarida.com/ is blank

Thanks!

Of course, when I finish the whole system i'll put both textures and scc definitions up for download for everyone who whants them :wink:

Only a few more moons and it will be ready

http://www.la-guarida.com is a domain that i have bought recently and for now, i don't have any webpage hosted on it, i will work on a new one to make mi add-ons easier to find.

New system update, a fictional semifrosted world orbiting Gliese 229 B; this new texture also includes a bumpmap to make sense of deep valleys, dust and scratches on the iced areas.

Here are the shots:

As usual, comments and suggestions are welcome :wink:

All very nice, and very redish....
I really like the volcanic moon.

Also what happend to Europa ?
and did you fix the black line in your IO texture ?

Thanks!

Yep, they're redish due to the light reflection of the little red dwarf, the original textures are not so red

Well, i am still working on the Europa texture(i never leave my projects abandoned); the thing is that it's made of a mosaic from several images of the Voyager probes, but not all of them are in the same resolution, so i am trying to find some more to fill in the gaps, such as doing some cloning and hand-made artwork, so be patient

The Gliese 229 system will be ready very soon (only needs some adjustments), may be in the coming days :wink:

About Io: Ooops! i hadn't noticed of that horrible black line

(these are the consequences of fast editint LOL); the bug has been fixed, check the new file here:

Hi. Your red volcanic moon and red dwarf are just what I have been looking for for use in my astronomy class (see my post in this forum about the primitive earth). However, I have been unable to connect to the website you've posted. I also just get an error message in Spanish. PLEASE tell me how to access your site, or provide another place I can download your great textures? Thanks.
