Refreshing to see something good coming out of CCP

Keep up the good work art team

*notsureifserious*

The CCP art team didn't do it. They didn't touch it. CCP outsourced it to a company that does it for movies.

Yay nebulae

Also I was going to buy a tracking mount for my camera until I saw the price

Now I may be wrong about this but aren't those pictures of nebulae, galaxies and such like that we all see and admire taken with a telescope i.e. Hubble?

What you would probably see in space with the naked eye is pretty white specks in a black sky.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for pretty but sometimes wish that the space we fly through looked a little blacker and sparse and less like an Earth sky just before a thunderstorm.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with when it all arrives though.

I'm also looking forward to the new nebula. I just hope they won't be too bright!

I don't find this strange at all. Eve should make you feel like you are really in space. Smile

I believe the words you are looking for are "nebulae" and "supernovae".

Just fyi.

Hello everyone,

I promised you an update today on the status of new nebulae and here is what I can tell you. I spoke with the product owner of this project today and work is continuing on designing the new visuals and we have quite a few artists working on making these spectacular.

At this stage we cannot give you a date on when we expect these to be released, however, we are hoping in the next few weeks that we will have a better idea of when the project will be finished and added for testing. I have bookmarked this thread and i will come back and give you an update when I know more.

At fanfest they showed 4 examples, which looked so cool, this was one of the highlights for me from fanfest (sad but true). Do you know if there will more than the 4 we saw WiPs of, or any other 'surprises' in regards to this new feature? Thanks for talking to the artists and devs working on this though. I'd also like to make a request to CCP in regards to this feature. I know you guys are working with FrameStore on developing this feature. A company I used to work for did a lot of work for them servicing their SGI computers before CFC moved over to PC Workstations. Anyway, I'd really love to see a 'making of' small documentary or something for the YouTube page. That would be awesome... just a thought anyway.

Oh and we used a little officer mods. KIDDING! We used a lot of officers mods, A LOT! Because we don’t :censored: around in low-sec.

Depends on your distance from them.

But you're right in that the pictures you see aren't anything like what you'd really see. Many of them are a culmination of hours, sometimes days of exposure. For "true colour" images there will be sets of long exposures taken in red, green, and blue wavelengths, as well as luminosity (monochrome) exposures, along with noise exposures etc... All get stacked and to form a finished product that looks great, but isn't really all that realistic.

Another method that non-amateurs (read nasa and famous observatories) are famous for is to colourize invisible wavelengths such as infrared or UV, and overlay them on a "true colour" image making some quite fantastic views.

Due to the nature of the colour adapted eye, you don't see much red when viewing through a scope, your visible spectrum shortens in the direction of the green/blues. So when you look at most deep sky objects, you're likely to only see a green/grey fuzzy smudge.

No, what it is is that they've gotten an independent team of boffins to design 4 unique nebulae using particle effects that will look much more like the real nebulae we see through Hubble than the current "painted" ones. They are fully 3-dimensional objects that will be as if "placed" in the full New Eden space. Then the "cubes" that we see around us in each solar system will be taken as snapshot .jpgs in each system (as it were) so that the view we have in each system will approximate how the nebulae would change in aspect as we move through the various systems.

Something like that, anyway Big smile

Ingenious and (from the pics - some of which are I believe already being used as backgrounds to the forums, and in the sign-on backgrounds in EVE) much, much more realistic looking and immersive.
