	Repository for game graphics Remove this text

This is a temporary repository thread for in-game graphics of the Stella Polaris client. The thread is primarily for graphics made by SPDT members as there's no other place for the submissions to be available for public view. I guess most of the works seen are from our Graphics Manager, aaglo.

You've got it right, my friend Rasbelin

Here's something to ponder on...

We have to thank Blake (and propably SDL-library) for the cool shadow this base casts. Very cool, very sexy.

Good lord! I didn't know that Stella Polaris is a such sexy game.

They were originally done by me to a SMACX-faction called mariners. So it is supposed to be a sea-base...

I don't know if this is the proper forum, but...

In the late freeAC forums some poster was making a school project about solar system. He was interested in making this project with help of pov-ray. And he asked about how to make planets look like they actually do.

Well, I found a site that had "planet skins" - all planets except earth were included. Basically ; you take the surface of the planet, and spread it in a square area so it'll stretch from the polar areas. Here is an example of that kind of skin.

Jupiter:

Now, making this kind of image map in pov-ray

#declare Jup =
texture {pigment{image_map { png "jupiter.png" map_type 1 interpolate 2} }finish {ambient 0.1 diffuse 1} }

#declare jupiter = sphere { <0, 0, 0>, 1 texture { Jup }}

object {jupiter scale 10 }

you get this kind of Planet Very cool

it's the stellarium program on this site
https://sourceforge.net/projects/stellarium/

download and install the program - there are plenty of png's.

there are at least these: luna, mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune (no pluto!) - and several space objects from messier's catalog... (m1-m105)
