did you ever think about generating space background with vic2d or povray? something brighter and more fun than black with a few stars :-) Increase the nebula opacity setting and you'll see just how complex the background is. how do i increase that setting? i haven't been able to find anything that...

very sorry, i'm uploading to google drive, box.com doesn't let me upload such large files
edit: see the link above, should be up in a few minutes

galaxies 3, 6, 7 and 8 uploaded: edit: I have removed all galaxies, i don't have enough space for all of them :( I'll try to upload them somewhere. edit: new location: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B6pTNsoiKPpJZ3RyQ1V1RTh2YUU/edit I can't host them more than a few days, space is limited :( Subme...

interesting read, those planets do look great! i've rendered the other 4 galaxies, i'll upload them tomorrow during the day, i'll try to create oxps :) did you ever think about generating space background with vic2d or povray? something brighter and more fun than black with a few stars :-) greetings...

just as a preview, galaxy 5 as rendered on my machine (yes, i found out too late that 5 is already done..., nonetheless, maybe interesting to note the differences and similarities between planets..)

thanks, seems to work fine now. i'll see what i can do next week, i should have access to a machine that can do one galaxy in less than a day, i'll report on monday or tuesday :) i've been looking a bit into povray, but am by far not good enough to tackle this, but some sort of city structures, volc...

one problem, there should be a files maps/turb/{small,large}-[1-5].png which are needed for gas giants. could you upload these anywhere i can access them? without those, i can't properly generate gas giants

if that is ok with submersible, i'll render the other 4 galaxies :) [just to be sure, those are 3 6 7 8, right?] edit: my fault, the released ones are 512 per side already, i'll use that setting. a technical and mostly non-related question: how exactly are the 6 cube sides mapped to a sphere? i'm da...

I've had success in running the padre scripts for generating my own textures as follows: - Get the povray/perl source from the link mentioned in the post. - get megapov 1.21.1 (http://megapov.inetart.net) - edit share/povray/cm/cm_camera.inc, remove the commenting-out from the *second* /* .. */ bloc...
