pictures in celestia

Post #1by Trelane » 31.03.2007, 01:05

hello,

i have to make a presentation about the inner planets of the solar system. i think the presentation would look good if i make a script with celestia (unfortunatelly i have to learn the script-language, but it does not seem so hard to me - at least for what i am planning to do). by now i found out that it's possible to move the camera the way i want and to display text - but my presentation would be pretty boring if all my text would show up while in the background there is the planet the text refers to. so my question is - is it possible to import and show pictures (especially jpg-files) in the program? what's the correct program code to import graphics (if possible)?

thanks in advance!

by the way: does anyone know programs that can help me making my script or some good tutorials for making script (at best in german)?

Vincent's "Lua Edu Tools" can be used to display images overlaying Celestia's window.
