Enhanced gstar texture?

Post #1by Tech Sgt. Chen » 07.01.2004, 20:33

Well,
Let be begin by taking off my hat to all of you texture creators! I've been trying to produce a more realistic star texture for Celestia, but my results have been (no pun intended) less than stellar. It would be more accurate to say my results have been disastrous! Anyway, I made some color enhancements in Photoshop to the gstarbig.jpg texture located at:

Though, far from what I was originally trying to achieve, I feel it is more closely representative of the true color of the Sun. I am currently using it in Celestia and I'm posting images here before making it available on my website.

Hi guys. Listen, they're telling me the uh,
generators won't take it, the ship is breaking apart and all that. Just, FYI.
