SL-9 is almost possible

Post #1by danielj » 04.10.2005, 00:16

Now that so much was improved in pseudo animation,like in Orpheus(credited by Don Edwars,in great part),I think soon we will have a realistic view of the SL-9 in Jupiter.Someone could create a map with the scars and put a time limit in a ssc,that the impact sites will appear.For example,texture "Jupiter-SL9.jpg" begin time end time.(it??s a hipothetic thing,of course)Something like that.In Orpheus,not only we have the explosions,but Moon and Earth slowly change with time.Also,it could be made realistic plumes.
What do you think?

Hey, all I made was the textures. The animation stuff was all done by jestr from I have heard. Please be a little more careful about giving credit where it is due. I don't want any credit for something I didn't make. It is always important to support everyone in a project like this. I have yet to see this add-on myself but from what I have heard through Frank it was going to be impressive.

I might answer a PM or a post if its relevant to something.

Ah, never say never!!
Past texture releases, Hmm let me think about it

Thanks for your understanding.
