![]() ![]() Helpful to understand Stellarium and to like this project, but is no Currently, version 4.8, but rather 2013 than later we may see a change into using Qt5.0.Īt least casual interest in visual astronomy (skywatching) may be Its sources are available directly from the BZR repository there. Stellarium is an OpenSource project at Launchpad. Optional: We are open for other meaningful additions!.Optional: The background panorama can be enhanced to allow "self-illuminated" images like nocturnal cityscapes, or even the 3D model could show self-lighting material.The stellarium scripting interface shall be used to allow non-interactive loading of viewpoints or walking to specified coordinates.During the walkthrough, interesting viewpoints shall be stored, so that they can be retrieved at later sessions.(optional) Allow not only OBJ, but other formats, like point clouds from a laser scan.įurther changes may include the following (not necessarily complete):. ![]() This would allow the use of larger models. Make the rendering more efficient: Use geometry shaders on capable hardware to render the cube map in a single pass.shadowing by the horizon panorama shall be included for the shadow map.(this requires reading old and new API doc, understanding the current old-API code and making the required changes) Port code to the newly created renderer classes.Just when the plugin was almost ready for integration, majorĬhanges in the renderer part of Stellarium prevented us fromįinishing, which is truly sad given the unique new functionality. In a second "praktikum", shadow mapping was implemented, including Cascaded Shadow Mapping, which allows the inclusion of sufficiently large landscapes. ![]() (typically limited) 3D landscape with uneven terrain, buildings and Walkthrough mode, so that users can walk around in a It consists of an OBJ renderer which provides a In an earlier "praktikum" a plugin for Stellarium has been developed. Rectangular viewport, but also allows super-wideangle views in several Photograph, giving a pretty good feeling of immersion, restricted The local horizon can be shown with a panorama Possibility to exchange constellation figures (great for ethno-astronomicalĭemonstrations). Uncommon features like dome rendering, telescope control, or the Providing a quite realistic view of day and night skies, and several Multiplatform (Windows, Mac, Linux) desktop planetarium program High-quality simulation of the night sky combined with a landscape andīuilding walkthrough is still not available. Sky can be explored from a single location on Earth. There also exist a fewĪstronomically correct desktop planetarium programs, where the night There exist many archaeologically correct virtual reconstructions ofĪncient buildings, in which the user can walk around and get an Verify, and later to communicate these ideas to a wider audience.
