HD background images

Along similar lines, the space section of this site could also be a useful source. Can't find details about licensing etc though from a quick look, but may be worth investigating?

And if all else fails, it has minions

We got another permission:

Re: I would like to use your images
from SeanMcKinney http://seanmckinney.deviantart.com/
to Norbylite http://norbylite.deviantart.com/
No problem, since it is an open source project I give you permission to use the images.

Norbylite said the following:

Dear Sean McKinney,

I would like to ask your permission of using your beautiful images as backgrounds in upcoming free addons of an open source Elite-like space simulation game named to Oolite at http://oolite.org/.

I and some other hobby programmer in this forum: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17492 making addons under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/, so if you allow to use your images then you will get a note in the readme of addons regarding you are the author of the used images.

I especially like these:

Norby, he's deactivated his account!

Do you still have any of his images anywhere?

Sure: (warning: nice pics ahead! )

This is the full archive what I collected anno for the HD background images, mostly station interiors, just I was too lazy to put them together into the next image pack, the "B" one. The pics from Sean McKinney are in the subfolder seanmckinney.devianart.com.

Thanking you kindly, Sir!

Apologies.

Just to say, I got nowhere with this one. Lack of e-mail did not help, granted, but I was utterly confusticated on the one hand by the disappearance of the artists from DeviantArt on the one hand, and by my profound inability to create a working version of HDBG B on the other.

If I have more success on the wider programming front I may well revisit this!


As far as I can discern, the only oxp's to use these images are (1) Docking Fees and (2) Imperial Star Destroyer (player's version).
