all your links shows artist design.

on the site en.wikipedia for Tess, there is a real photo where Tess is being assembled. And here it's white.

I'd really like to see the Compton GRO and SOHO in Celestia...

Well, currently I'm working with the SOHO model...

[toutatis]

Hey guys... The project SOHO at this stage ... but still need work...

[gironde]

Hello,

For my part, I made these addons.
3D sources have the same origin as toutatis
The orbital data come from e.wikipedia.

I also completed the Cluster II FM6 Salsa addon

Good discovery

The files ...

method used:
- recovery of 3D models on NASA website (.lwo, .blend, .3ds, .fbx)
- tinkering with MeshLab, Blender, MeshMagic, Spin 3D Mesh Converter, cmodViewer
- recovery of orbital data on the site en.wikipedia

SOHO... still working with this model...

I still have a problem. My cmod files do not report textures in celestia, be it an ascii or binary file.

I first positioned the textures in / textures / lores. It does not work, I put them directly with the cmod file, it still does not work in Celestia, but cmodviewer finds them and applies them.

Does somebody have an idea ?

the same problems here ... but I have no practice in modeling 3d models ... only about month...

Textures should be in "medres" folder and only in it.

[gironde]

Thank you Art Blos
I will try like this and then I saw the confirmation on the length of the names of textures: 8 characters maximum. (I already noticed that 3ds2cmod truncated texture names)

SOHO Observatory... now you can download this add-on...

[gironde]

Toutatis, it seems to me that SoHo is in orbit around the point of Lagrange L1
In Celestia, it's Earth-L1.
It is in this orbit from 14-02-1996.

Beginning "1996 02 14"

Yes Gironde... I know... and these orbital elements from HORIZONS, for geocentric orbit... but sure, everyone can correct it how they wish...

[toutatis]

this new add-on SOHO... with the folder "data" which contains xyzv-file...

I'm waiting for Spacedock
