All Vts

Post #1by guillaume_2k3 » 08.07.2006, 11:00

Virtual Textures are really awesome!
Great work !
I've downloaded textures for Earth, Mercury and Mars, but I can't find other detailed textures for others planets.

Does anyone knows where can I find all the VT for the 9 planets ??

Most of links I found are broken....

When I'll have the 9th textures, I'll add a download mirror on my site.

Thanks.

Hello guillaume_2k3, if you go here

http://celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/solarsystem.php

and give a look at the various planets links, you'll find that there are VTs for Mercury, Earth, Moon, Mars, Io, Ganimede, Europa, Callisto, and (partially) Titan, no more as per my knowledge. :cry:
May be, but I've not checked it, that if you dig in

http://celestiamotherlode.net/creators/

you'll find something else, but mostrly fictional.
The reason is obvious: there are not enough information/images to obtain a detailed VT map for all the other Solar System objects.
Hope this can help you. :wink:
Bye

Just to add to Andrea's reply,

Celestians, in the main part work on a 'limit of knowledge" basis which is why many of the..... errm... "closer planets/objects"(-relative to Earth that is...) have much more detail (models at all... :? ) the exciting thing though is that we are still sending craft out toward the Oort to take funky pics that are beamed back :P (perhaps for the sole benefit to add to the addons/texture database :wink: :wink: ) so the "limit of knowledge" doesn't actually theoretically have a limit.

Cheers
