Lafuente_Astronomy's Addons

[Lafuente_Astronomy]

Alright, here is my first release of a pre-existing addon, which is not mine but I felt had to be released separately.

This is Russell's Teapot, named after the English Philosopher Bertrand Russell, who made that statement as a refutation against dogmatists and religious people alike with regards to the Burden of Proof.

Credits to the Celestia Origin team for having made the addon itself. I merely took it out from CO's files and released it as a separate addon. I hope they'll be ok with it

But anyway, here it is

cool

I merely took it out from CO's files and released it as a separate addon.

I think entire CO should be distributed this way

Here is something new from me: The Triangulum Galaxy's Central Black Hole

Actually, no such black hole has been discovered there as of yet. But measurements of the core of the Triangulum Galaxy suggest that the possible central black hole in there will measure only around 3000 solar masses. Thus, it makes the black hole an intermediate-sized black hole.

This black hole is also made in conjunction and cooperation with the Celestia Worldbuilding Project, which will be centered on the Triangulum Galaxy.

Credits to Vision, and through him, PlutonianEmpire and Cham, who have both made the sprites and CMOD files for the disks.

If there are any problems, please let me know. Thanks in advance

So, here's the addon:

Triangulum Galaxy Central Black Hole.rar

(13.62 MiB) Downloaded 303 times

Fixes: Fixed the Inclination and ArgOfPericenter of the Black Hole and its component disks. It should now be on the same plane as the Triangulum Galaxy itself. I also reduced the ridiculously fast orbital periods of the disk(Far too ridiculous for even the fastest spinning black holes, that is), especially those farther away from it. They should now be slower. I also reduced the AbsMag of the black hole. It was an artifact that came over when I made a copy of my 3C 273 addon and remade it into the M33 addon you see today

Credits to SevenSpheres, pedro_jg, LukeCEL anf fyr02 for helping me point out those problems with the addon. Again, if there are more such problems, feel free to let me know

Hello everyone!

Sometime earlier, SevenSpheres asked me in the Discord Server for a template for black hole addons. His exact question was like this:

@Lafuente_Astronomy maybe you can help? What has Vision told you about black hole rendering? Did he send you a template?

While I didn't fully gave him what he wanted, I decided to instead make an addon which is a template of a Standard Black Hole addon
So, please welcome the newest addon in my list of addons, the Standard Black Hole!

Addon here:

Standard Black Hole.rar

(13.62 MiB) Downloaded 256 times

Credits are on the readme file. I hope you enjoy.

Hello there

Sorry if I took WAY too long to reply

What's your computer specs? Depending on the type of graphics card used, it may not render well properly, especially for older PC units with older graphics card

This is an example:

Well computers with inbuilt graphics that can't go above OpenGL Vertex Program. Ones that can go above OpenGL 2.0 it will render correctly.

Thank you guys.

Cool! do you have versions that don't have the .rar suffix?

I can't use .rar stuff, I'm on a mac.
