I want this as a promotional video, promoting more funding for space exploration. My God, what I wouldn't do to be able to stand there in person on such a world, and see it with my own eyes...

that rare thaeris post i feel worth emptyquoting

(the sensors housing my uploaded consciousness would do as well though)

Better video, with music. :V

It's amazing to think sights like this may actually exist out there.

Oh, silly me, I had no idea there was a built-in recorder. Turning frames into a video wont be a problem. Thanks for the info.

*bump*

I made a new video using Space Engine, one which I have always wanted to make.

0.96 is out. Skyboxes and planet textures can now be exported.

Achillion · **Reply #65 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:22:39 am

Hah, the reply notification ended up in my spam folder.
I see I was also planning to make a video a few months ago. I think we all know how that went.

Oh, and you guys might be interested in this:

There are ships now. And there are already Mass Effect and EVE ship packs...

About now I'm wishing my computer had more guts...

Oh man I have been nerding out on this so hard. 0.96 has some pretty awesome features. Procedural galaxies are now generated to simulate large-scale cosmological structure, as well as redshift. I think you can fly out to ten billion light years or so and there will still be galaxies. Planet generation and appearance have been revamped as well.

Speaking of which, green atmospheres? GREEN ATMOSPHERES!

For some reason there appear to be a lot of very close binary planets now. Almost unrealistically close if you ask me. Imagine the tides you'd get on these worlds.

Obligatory "My God, it's full of ~~stars~~ galaxies."

Sadly, the programm crashes everytime I try to run it^^

Achillion · **Reply #70 on:** July 14, 2012, 08:21:19 am

Yeah it's not the most stable of software. Is it beyond your hardware specs or is it a software issue?

crizza · **Reply #71 on:** July 14, 2012, 08:44:05 am

Good question...
Got a radeon HD 4890
an Intel i5 - 750 quad core...
and I think it was 4gb DDR SDRAM...

Achillion · **Reply #72 on:** July 14, 2012, 09:06:47 am

Should be able to run. My laptop has similar specs and can run it fine even through Wine on Linux.
Graphics drivers?
Did you apply the latest patch?

EDIT: Also check http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/4-706-1

EDIT2: Latest version is crashing on me too. I get the "Error loading surface generator shaders. Press YES to run program with procedural planets disabled. Press NO to exit" message and it crashes if I press "yes" to start without surface generator. I think I just might roll back to an earlier version for now.

The applesforgeeks link is dead. :C I don't suppose anyone would care to direct me to an available legit download?

Achillion · **Reply #74 on:** August 07, 2012, 08:17:07 pm

Official site is http://en.spaceengine.org

Try the torrent, it's usually faster.

My pants
I think I jizzed them

I finally got around to downloading this and messing with it. So awesome! I probably didn't before because I think it would have asploded my old laptop.

I'm still on the hunt for a habitable planet. Deneb had a binary planet system that looked pretty promising, but it's interesting to think about whether or not we could live on it. The barycenter was barely outside the temperate terra, a nice 291K, and the other planet was not very dense and pretty far away (for a binary planet system, anyway).

This is good stuff.

Dark RevenantX · **Reply #77 on:** August 08, 2012, 05:41:42 am

Runs well but crashes and I've got a machine that's hard to beat. 1.25GHz GTX 670 and 4.4GHz i5 2500K, and running the program on a 256GB SSD. LOD setting up at max: looks gorgeous but this thing is a machine eater even with very high spec.

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #78 on:** August 08, 2012, 07:15:40 am

Hmmmm, I might have to benchmark and tune the old girl before I give it a try then lol.

Dark RevenantX · **Reply #79 on:** August 08, 2012, 06:38:15 pm

Guess which one is the moon and which one is the planet. I dare you.
