Baleur -> Smoother & brighter stars! (4/1/2010 1:21:53 PM)
|
Updated attachment! I apologize as i no longer have the previous versions, only the very smoothest version.
Smoother & brighter stars! No more razor-sharp sunspots, also fixed / resized the sunspot texture so it doesnt pass outside the surface of the sun disk anymore (lolz [:D])
I also wanted to change the coronas (since they look horribly blocky), but blurring or changing 200 images aint my idea of fun.
(the neutron star corona looks great, but if i'd want to use that for the other stars i'd have to resize it to fit their larger radius, again, 200 image resizes is too annoying)
Update x2, added another version where i simply cleared the sunspot textures, so now the stars look smooth as in the preview picture in the interface, and yet another final version based on our real sun (taken from a picture of it, turned to greyscale, blended with original texture).
Extract to Distant Worlds\images\environment\stars
Screenshots of the final version!
(sidenote, i wish the red giant stars hue was a bit darker ingame so they dont look quite so pink, maby theres a value somewhere to edit?)
