Galaxy Guide - I'm Back!

[DaddyHoggy]

I'm looking forward to writing the Snoopers news flashes for G4 when I get there...

???
I'm glad that someone is, DH... but it ain't me.

Did I hit edit instead of quote? I guess I must have! Damn this new super power of mine!

So, let me re-iterate - EV definitely isn't writing the news flashes for Snoopers - I definitely will be!!!!

Damn this new super power of mine!

All super powers have a flaw… I accidentally deleted one of McLane’s posts, instead of my own, a while back… cue apologies via PM etc.

With great power comes great responsibility.

That's for sure... it's a shame that our world leaders don't fully understand this.

You have done a cracking job on making the Galaxy Guide a joy to use and read. I like the spinning globes. I don't know how you did that so fast. You almost wish that you have that for every planet. But that's a bit too much to ask

I just thought it a neat idea, after all, there were nice textures that were made to be wrapped around a sphere. placing a camera, getting the lighting (almost) right, an animation script and a script that wrapped around it did the job.

I don't know how you did that so fast.

Easy. About an hour or two experimenting with the tools, and half an hour rendering. You just can't beat a linux system with all its script-oriented software when it comes to boring, repetetetetetive jobs.

You've got my email, so just draw up the textures and send them to me, and my computer does the rest.

By the way, all the Famous Planets have their spinning globes now.

Yours, Christian

I can't find Trader's Almanach on the Wiki...
Will the Galaxy Guide be continued for G3-G8?
