To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

It's now time for REAL fun, it's time to work on clouds o/

 

Before turning to the integration of the volumetric clouds system, adding a global clouds layer to the planet, with a slight embossed effect.

PS : notice the increased FPS compared to my previous posts. Now I'm coding and testing on a brand new laptop, provided with a GTX 950M GPU  :biggrin:

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all.

The thing with those screenshots, Nev, is I can't help but imagine them in the Ooniverse.

Oolite flight/game mechanics with those planets and starfields - a Cobra pilot's heaven!

 

Time for a musical interlude, methinks...

Well unfortunately it will be difficult to release a decent video before start of june now, as I'll be on holliday abroad next week, and I'll be back only Monday 30 May . So I would say: "wait and see"   😀

No pressure at all Nevil.... your screenshots kinda set the stage for a great video haha. On your work will the atmospheric clouds be moving on the planet or will they look static from space?

Recommend you make a new post for the video so you get maximum exposure when you do finish it.

For now I should slowly rotate it on a random axis I think
