galaxy color

Post #1by billybob884 » 24.02.2003, 21:56

nope, not another message about adding galaxy color, just a bug i found about galaxies already having color. it only changes this blue color when you rotate around it so the milky way is behind it. this is an un-edited photo

speaking of galexy colors, if you could just add a little line of code to specify a color for the "grey matter" galaxies are currently made of, i have found a site with hundreds of pics of all types of galaxies. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archiv ... ry/galaxy/

I just fixed this blue galaxies problem . . . No more "viral nebulae" in the next prerelease, Rass :)

Gas color?

Post #7by Vicware » 26.02.2003, 06:21

I try to keep up with the forum religiously, but maybe I
missed something - is there supposed to be galaxy or
nebula color appearing in the latest version? I don't see
any now.

Rassilon - could you answer my un-answered question - how are
you getting (blue) color in that pic you displayed.

Thanks - Vic

I'm not Ras', but I'll answer the question anyhow:

That particular picture is due to a bug in Celestia v1.3.0prerelease2.
It's showing part of Ras' nebula when it shouldn't.

Celestia v1.3's definition of "Galaxy" is unchanged from v1.2. It's still just a selection from a list of predefined grey blobs.

In order to see a colored image of a galaxy, you have to define a Nebula with an appropriate name and location and provide a properly shaped 3ds mesh and associated texture(s).

I hope this clarifies things a little.
