Here are some screenshots. Do you like it? screenshot1 screenshot2 screenshot3 screenshot4 screenshot5 screenshot6

Nice job. Having the planets lit by the sun rather than by ambient light would be a nice touch. Also, the rings on saturn in some of the photos have some fairly severe aliasing effects.... are you simulating them with geometry? You might try using an alpha-blended disk instead.

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Nice!! And I agree about the lighting...

Hehe once upon a time there was lightning but it is disabled now .

I was creating planet models in milkshape so fastest way to create rings was with few thin cylinders . Yeah, I know it''s stupid but it''s just temporary. Couldn''t find/create good enough texture for disk so I decided to leave it this way.

Anyway, glad you like it. Thanks!

Very nice, looks professional.

Looks nice, Any future plans for this project?

Please visit Turt99 Productions

Thanks again!
Believe me it''s not very professional. You need some 1.3GHz to run it smoothly. Yeah, I don''t understand how did I manage that either.

Anyway, only future I see with this project is good grade at school for it(i hope ) and maybe to speed it up little and put it as screensaver.

Any interests that I send it to Nehe like some demo or something similar? Source code included, no problem.

I think it would be great, and NeHe would like it if you sent it in as a demo... And, of course all the people that see it..

As you wish! Expect it in a month or so...

Nice very nice :D, very like my current project except my planets are created with quadrics using info about the system in a txt file. Basicly so i can render and create what ever systems I like . Im just trying to go one step furter and add a atmosphere kinda effect to the planets which can been seen when you zoom into them. Not having much success thou :''( too new to opengl i am :/
