I'm guessing "Sun flare occlusion testing" wasn't really on the initial list of use-cases for ray-casting... :lol:

You might need to pull a Kerbal here and add MOAR BOOSTERS to your Beluga.

Obviously this is the only way to go from KSC to Wideawake:

Hell, there's even a CLI tool that mathemagically calls latex the right number of times. I've got a bt too deep in my Linux exploration and has become fairly accustomed to GTK+ now, through PyGObject, GtkSharp and even gtkmm. I've even built a tool with the latter for my music production needs...

Yep, that convinced me to switch back to my Windows partition, and install TortoiseSVN again ... :)

This is because the Lens Flare shader is simply unaware that there is something blocking the Sun - IIRC back when I last contributed to the project I had an experimental raycasting technique that would block (or recolor, when the sun passes through a glass material) the lens flare. The problem...

This is a classic. A classic that still makes me cry out of laughing every time. :lol:

Typing some python and numpy for fun: I can't colorize it for :censored: though, even simply coloring from the escape iteration produces nonsense. Oh well. I'm proud my Mandelbrodt set is there at least :lol:

Oh wow. I'll blame the heat. (so that it's not my fault :shifty: )

I didn't realize it was Scott Manley narrating the video! Very good job here on the video, Tex! You never disappoint :cheers: EDIT: Meaning ... :shifty:

A quick render of Saturn in Blender.

No. The legacy Delta Glider's radiator animation is only eye candy and serves no simulation purpose. I'd recommend Doug's XR Fleet which contains an updated DeltaGlider that works with Orbiter 2016.

I would definitely put the initial effort. Because I do think Orbiter deserves the simplified system.

But my proposed metadata doesn't have anything "new". Dependencies are already produced by the publishers (look at the descriptions on OHM or in the ReadMe). In essence the argument is "why wouldn't you support the new system?" when it's in place because it would require a change of workflow so...

This is the more "marketing" aspect I didn't go over. But the selling point would be a simplified process for the user and a minimal change in workflow from the publisher. Ideally user feedback would push publishers to make available their add-on through the system, which would push more users...
