Coming soon...



Between working and trying to find time to work on my site Ive done some work on Celestia...I hope Ill have this ready by next weekend...maybe...

One thing you will notice about my newer planets...polar caps will no longer be 'pinched'...

Northern cap:


Its a neat little trick Ive overlooked in Photoshop...

Looks great, Rassilon!

Keep us posted as to when it'll be available (and be prepared for bandwidth problems when everyone grabs it )

I hope you'll let us in on this little trick with poles you've discovered

Cheers,

Cormoran

Ras.....a wonderful system.

I'm very impressed of the Protosystem. I have made such disc to in the past in cooperation with some of this forum.

This disc is in 3d, right it was my first attempt to model such thing, but your disc looks very good.

Yours looks really good David

I had intended to work with it more to make it look better but I got sidetracked...I will however work on something similar when I create the Tautarus Black Hole from doctor who...Another unfinished project...

Hi All
Just downloaded the m57 nebula and system file(75megs) but can not seem to get the system to show up in celestia. The nebula shows up fine but no planetary system. I followed the instructions and installed to my extra directory, where it created the folder for M57. Im running the current version of Celestia. I even tried installing the individual files seperately (models, textures, etc,) but still can not get the system to show up. Any suggestions?

Thanks Seldon for your information. I followed your instructions to the letter, creating a addon directory in the extras folder then added the M57 texture and model folders inside of this. I updated the star.dat with the stars Rass had on the .stc doc as you instructed( I have ver 1.3.0 of celestia). Yet the nebula shows up but no star system. Just can't figure what I'm doing wrong. Rass if you see this maybe you may have a suggestion. I have always enjoyed your systems and would love to explore this one.

[Guest]

all you should have to do is unzip the addon directly into the extras folder and it works...If you are using anything other than windows I wouldnt know past that except check filenames and such to make sure they are all in lowercase...
