In what program?

If it is in Celestia, what version and where do you see this in Celestia?

[ElPelado]

here you have the code for mimas:

Code: Select all

"Mimas" "Sol/Saturn"
{
   Texture "mimas.*"
   #Texture "white.jpg"
   #BumpMap "mimasbump.jpg"
   #BumpHeight 5.0
   Color [ 0.75 0.63 0.58 ]
   [b]BlendTexture true[/b]
   Radius    198.6
...

its also in amalthea, gaspra, eros, toutatis and more.
i have the last pre, i think its 9 and i didnt make any modifications.

Ahhh, okay. I have not seen this before.

Maybe one of the planet / moon builders can share this secret?

It's got something to do with combining a texture with a preset colour in the ssc file (like for Eros etc)- but the colour seems to appear whether or not you have blendtexture or not...

what? what is the preset color??

[ElPelado]

i understand now what this command do.
in mimas i changed the "color [R G B]" command by puting random values on the RGB and then in celestia the color of the texture changed.
nice command, but i dont know for what more we can use it.
