Yes, we are already working on it. But first we will add something else. :wink:

Wow, with all of this new stuff being added, it just increases the hype!

I did not understand this phrase. What do you mean? :weirdface:

What I'm trying to say is, it just increases the anticipation for the new release.

If only this stuff will be easy to include with standard instalation data. But ~3GB zip file is not likely to be such a... :wink:

pirogronian, don't worry, this has already been discussed with onetwothree. :wink:

Art Blos, the 3D models of the small Saturn moons are now on the 3D Asteroid Catalog! :smile:

I know. Work is already underway. Just not as fast as desired. :smile:

It's OK. Just take as much time as needed.

Added new 4K-texture and 200K-polygonal model of Phobos.

Post #132by **Art Blos** » 03.12.2018, 20:13

Added new 4K-texture of Deimos. The model is optimized without loss of quality.

Post #133by **Art Blos** » 03.12.2018, 20:47

Removed graphical artifacts from topographic map of Phobos.

Well done! Now the topographic map of Phobos doesn't feel out of place anymore!

I'm excited, only 27 more days until the release!

Added new 30K-polygonal model of Pan.

Art Blos, why is it that many of the models in Celestia Origin are oriented differently so that they need this code?

Code: Select all

Orientation [ 90 0 1 0 ]

It happened during the creating of the algorithm for converting models from the Greg Frieger base. In the future, this parameter greatly facilitated for me some aspects of development (for example, counting the number of models or fast connection of textures).

Added 30K-polygonal model of Daphnis.

I see that the Saturn moon models are getting added! Very nice! :smile:
