Creating a Solar System
« on: November 14, 2012, 11:02:19 AM »

Yes, i mean it, i got most images with 1024x512px, not quite the resolution i wanted, but the owner of these only got the 1024 ones for free, hes charging for hes work (cant really blame him, hope the best for this project of his) on the higher resolution ones, i did manage a high res for Jupiter.



So, the challenge would be to create an actual solar system to be used on Star Farer, ill provide a zip file with all the images, if u do manage to get hands on higher quality ones, please post it.

Dont forget the place stations too.

So what do you think about this?

Here are a few more map sources:

http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/                                                             -- probably free (Nasa stuff is, I don't know about JPL)
http://www.mmedia.is/~bjj/data/planetary_maps.html              -- free
http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/solarsystem.php    -- don't know the legal status
