Topo Moons

Post #1by maxim » 24.02.2004, 17:49

Hi there,

there is some new stuff available.
I've compiled a set of topographic maps for small moons and asteroids plus info data panels for every one of them.
The orientation of maps is (currently) aligned to fit the 1.3.1 distribution.
The pics:

I'm still trying to figure if I have really any use of this kind of addon :lol: , but it works fine.

The most will be an implementation within Celestia itself...

Psykotik,

Remember that many of these colorful maps are very useful to people who study the structures of planets and moons, even if to us they're just a source of very pretty pictures!

Sure, I know that. But since I don't study the structures of planets and moons, it's only colorful maps to me.

I'm going to find a purpose, even if I have to study exo-geology ;-)
