Crashes on start-up for me. Looks cool, though.

Out of curiosity what's your system specs?

I'm on a Dell SXPS16. 4GB RAM, Radeon 4670 Mobility, Intel Core i7 Q720 1.60 GHz.

Well a new more stable version was just released with a few new things.

Planets orbiting barycenters. Planetary nebulae. Neutron stars, black holes, asteroid belts.

Since my new machine can run this now...
I found a planet with life right next to the Eagle Nebula.  Note that auto exposure would make it invisible because of the bright planet.  That would be some night sky though.
After some experimentation I have found that nebulae rarely wash the whole sky, only the brightest area will be visible, even if the planet is nearly inside the fringes of it.

EDIT:  Replaced attachment with image.

I once ran into an inhabited warm terra, orbited by an inhabited comfort terra. I believe a gas giant with another inhabited warm or comfort terra was in the same system. Those finds are rare and nice to store.

Thank you to firstly the person who bumped this thread, and the person who made it in the first place

This

Is awesome

[Retsof]

Heh, they put Pandora in, and it's sun's binary has a life bearing planet as well, which is itself a binary planet with a lifeless but Terran world.


EDIT:  Replaced attachments with images, also, remember when I said nebulae were hard to see, well on this life-bearing planet you can see the Orion even when the farther of the two suns is out.

Totally bookmarked this thread for when my new computer comes in; this is awesome.

Any idea on how I could make skyboxes from this?  I don't think there are the right controlls to take screenshots separated by perfect 90*.

Pretty sure there's software out there that can stitch images together into one seamless image, even if they aren't perfectly aligned. In fact, for something like that I think you'd want some overlap.

Important note: Never, EVER disable, then enable stars in a Galaxy

That's my punishment for button mashing

...Why, did it crash you or did it kill all your procedural stars?

[deathfun]

It didn't crash nor did it kill the stars

See, it would have been better if it crashed. Then it would have been an easy click close but noooo, decided to make EVERYTHING slow taking it a long time to register any inputs I gave it

[Retsof]

New version out.  Includes better gas giant textures, terrain textures and hills so there is more to see when "landed", brown dwarfs, and hurricanes.  It also seems to crash if I up the LOD at all, but it's pretty good anyway.  Would give screens, but I'm at work atm.

...and in the new version if you go to the Cyrannus system it has the Twelve Colonies from BSG.

Though it isn't out yet, SpaceEngineer has gotten a skybox and planet texture exporter working.  (pic taken from SE forum)

Try Hugin, should be able to do the job.

Oh my God, I can actually run this now.  This is awesome!

[Thaeris]

I've been told a Noctis-style gameplay system is in the works... complete with working, accurate physics. I'd be even more happy if my processor was actually up to spec.
