The video look good enough but i think that stars are a bit too dim and for some reason, Earth look like a watermelon. :? Excluding the stars, the video was excellent. Some things that might help: 1. Make the stars shown as scaled discs (under the Render menu, or CTRL-S to cycle) 2. Increase the Ma...

I think I made it clear enough that I am neither attacking you nor your site. I indeed like the theme and layout of your site, as well as some of its content. So you seem to be out to turning around what I was writing, unless my English is incredibly bad ;-) Thank you, and you misunderstood my inte...

sure enough, I never claimed that you tried to sell actively some books (of yours) at this shatters.net site. Or anyone elses', for that matter.... Yet, Selden currently deletes users and or bots (plenty therof!) who merely carry a link to a commercial website below their post signature. Okay, I'll...

The site in question is commercial.... I just quote this from the Users/ Forum Guidelines : ----------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not: ========= ... - 4 Post advertisements for commercial products. This includes SPAM. Did I try to sell you a book? No. Did I off...

Selden:

I was not aware of this. However, my reply was merely in response to:

Misrepresentation, be it by economist, grocer, marketeer, politician, or whatever, is wrong, which was my entire point. Be well, all.

This type of deceit reminds me of the actions of two politicians: 1. Governor Mark White of Texas, years ago, promised to "do everything in his power" to lower our utility bills. Under Texas state law, that would be to write two letters on our behalf to the Railroad Commission, who control...

Thank you for your responses, t00fri... :) I corrected the typo.... Finally, I hope your site is thoroughly NON-commercial, since NO commercial ads are allowed in this forum! At least I could not find any reference to book prices. Fridger I don't recall advertising anything at all. I wouldn't do tha...

Some of you older folks might remember the nuclear drills they used to make elementary school students do. You know, hide under your desk so that the nuke wouldn't take you away. Some of you newer generation folks were taught that this was propaganda. I call it nonsense, myself, and did at the time ...

I had to look up most of the items on that list to verify what they were: 1. Frets on Fire - Music Game 2. Celestia - 3D Space/Astronomy Simulator 3. ScummVM - Cross-platform script handler for certain old LucasArts games 4. Tux Paint - Interactive paint program designed for very young children 5. H...

If there's a standard, norm or more, I'm happy to comply, I really do appreciate this great piece of software. I'm hardly an expert, but.... Generally, when you release something that contains or uses material not of your making, you include credit for it. If you own it (computer hardware used, sof...

I released another music video using Celestia -- Heaven's Hammer, "Space Walking". The music is slightly odd, but consistent, and the space flight is a bit jerky at times (it's called "guessing...") Still, I'm rather fond of this one, and this time I tried to include all the cred...

I did just that: http://wallstonemedia.com/wordpress/2009/08/18/celetia-videos-additional-credits/

While the first one works, this one I can add to when needed.

Windows are brittle. Vista is very brittle. I like to keep Vista uninstalled on all my computers. Given a choice between Vista and DOS, I'll pick DOS almost every time. As for XP, I prefer it over DOS - at least it's reasonably stable, unlike its son, Vista wish-I-was-a-working-XP-clone. Maybe it's...

In another thread, I told you folks about the music video I made. In the video, I use the top-3 names, ending it with "and company." But... I also direct people to my website for extended credits. To see what I'm talking about, go to http://wallstonemedia.com/wordpress/ , and select the &q...

Didn't see this thread, or would have posted Abstract Reality here instead. Still, great minds think alike, huh?

(This partially continues a thread I started a couple of years back, but so much has changed since then I decided to start a more direct thread.) The Mt. Vernon Synthetic Orchestra (sic) is one of three computerized "bands" that I created back in 2006. The music has come a LONG way, when c...

Well I'm certain that your contribution here oughtta be useful to plenty of people who don't live in Celestia I don't live in Celestia, but there's this village called "Continuum" that's pretty cool. That's Continuum as in the old game Subspace, not the Q Continuum, from Star Trek. Wasted away many...

After reading quite a few posts here, I learned quite a bit. Thank all of you for your creative suggestions, and thanks also to the authors of Celestia. As my way of giving back to the community, I decided to write a short tutorial about how I make earth-like planets, out in the barren cosmos. I wel...

Hi, folks. This is my first post here, so please bear with me... I've read through the forums, in an attempt to garner the copyright status of using Celestia for commercial use (such as backgrounds for books, etc.) Since many of the data files, textures, etc. come from a wild mix of public domain an...
