Epsilon Ind System (3 Planets)

Post #1by Rassilon » 05.09.2002, 04:08

Heres my newest addition to Celestia...featuring large textures so the file was divided into two zips...no larger than 6 meg each...

Remember my systems are geared for Invidia cards mainly....and ones having more than 32 megs of memory....

Unzip this one directly to the Celestia root...You will however need both files to see all the planets in thier glory ;)

This file you will have to unzip directly to the textures/medres folder...enjoy!

Yes, they look very realistic!
The universe contains, matter and energy,
stars and planets, and earth's technology.

Great looking planets and moons! One suggestion . . . I think you should reduce the amount of shadowing that's in the base textures and rely on the bump maps instead . . . The dynamic lighting you get with bump maps looks a lot better.
