It would be AMAZING if we could somehow use the data from this incredible space simulator in eve online. Not only are there entire solar systems, but galaxies! Plus you can fly to any planet and land on the surface and see accurate star fields, sun position, watch the auroras on Saturn!!!! Just AMAZING!


Also I did a quick import of some eve online assets into space engine.

It's not as elaborate as it seems, though it's still very cool. If EVE ever manages to do space like that it will be a memorable day, where stargate travel is optional if you can live with 10+ minutes of warping.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

What is fascinating is how easy it is to MOD, CCP could even publish the coordinates of the EVE gate that opened up near Earth.

I am actually exporting some models from TRIexporter and will attempt to place them in Space Engine.

I will post if I get it working. :)

And imagine the real deep book marks one could place...

Next step is to get textures working.

Go figure! Drakes have no bump maps, only normal maps?

Well I updated the normal map, now that is also working. Took a while to figure out how to get this map type into Space Engine.

Well kind of... there are many features yet to be implemented but it is being constantly developed by a small team. They need more support for shaders, specifically reflection mapping. Right now it's not supported so it's very difficult to match the look of EVE online ships because they are mostly made of metal like surfaces. Without reflection mapping you can't really get the same look.... there is also a ton of other stuff missing from their shader model but they are constantly adding new features so most likely it will support better shading models in the next release. I already asked for it ! :)

Nothing new, it was featured in Features and Ideas long time ago. CCP didn't notice.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Yea, I meantioned Space Engine a while back on here. Its the best porceduarly generated universe out there. Literally billions upon billions of stars and galaxies, nebula, bi-nary, trinary systems ect. There are some things that EVE can learn from it:

Planets with Polar Ice Caps
Planets with Aurora's
Gas Planets with Terrestial/desert/ice for moons

The thing thats great about Space Engine is you get to kinda see how space travel would be with EVE speeds. In a word. Slow. IForget AU's per second, f you aint traveling Parsecs per second, you're doing it wrong.

Bumping this because I installed it, and Space Engine did turn out to be pretty nice. Worth some noodling around in.

Collected $900 out of $15000

Just add tiered speceships models as donation prizes and money will be gathered much faster...
