How will performance of the rings compare between the latest AMD cards and nvidia ones given the AMD ones have much higher double precision, 1:16 verse 1:64 of the nvidia ones?   Example. 6800XT 1.3 TFLOPs FP64 vs 0.46 TFLOPs FP64 of the 3080.   As he said in the post, the double precision numbers ...

What about a new brand set of emoticons? 
I use them a lot and it would be nice to have some more, I found a site with a lot of free ones! https://www.hipsthetic.com/emoji-icon-sets/

I'll change the emotes as soon as I figure out how.

I'm curious of something, we'll be able to see volcanic gases and 3d hurricanes or tornadoes? (Hurricanes that touches the floor) rains, sandstorms, thunders?  I think this is a obvious question tbh Read the second paragraph here: http://forum.spaceengine.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=72 Also, please...

More details on my research can be found here   This site is dead. "Not Acceptable An appropriate representation of the requested resource /research.html could not be found on this server." Did you really post in a 3.5 year old thread about a research project which is almost certainly ove...

Some things can be made in a simple way without being grossly inaccurate. Rings are one of those things. Halos and shadows are not.

Because we had 10 years and that was not enough to make things qualitatively as u see it, so this will be totally fair to say they will never happen if you  keep the same line. On the other side halo and many other things can be done the simple way in a few days. Better we have effects done primiti...

You mean exactly how he cringes looking at water, horizon, purple planets and absence of shadows?

So why would you want to add another thing to that list?

Also there is no physical reason why a planet cannot be purple.

I requested ice halos, I don't know - almost 10 years ago?  Halos could be added as a 2d png texture with small shining effect which is auto-enabled if the camera is 1. In atmosphere and 2. In a low temperature zone. That's all it takes. It's one day of work. And that right there is the difference ...

35868 Doc are there any long term risks with the gpu running over 80C? Shorter lifespan, but this applies to any piece of hardware. whats the threshold for lifespan?  lifespan doesn't shorten if the temps remain below 80 or does it have to be under 70 or something else, Doc? I think for cpu it's un...

Ok I think my pc wouldn't support the next update since my integrated graphics card are of 128 mb LOL

Technically that doesn't meet the minimum requirements of any version of SE ever released, even ones from 10 years ago.

Fantastic works! Congrats!   
Can this programming technique be used to procedurally generate rocks and stones of different sizes on the surface of planets?

There are much better ways to do that.

I don't believe it looks like this irl. All the stones are size comparable to Enterprise, which makes them dozens of feet diameter. In real space the particles are 1-3 inch size mostly. This must look like a fog of dust. And this huge rocks field is 80s sci-fi. The size of the particles and thickne...

Version 0.990.41 is out of beta and releasing to everyone. Read about it here: http://spaceengine.org/news/blog200814

34291 I've already lost most of my interest in this update. Surely there are other things in your life you can be focusing on besides the next SpaceEngine update? Just go live your life, do what you want to do, and forget about it. Then one day, it will be done and you can see it for yourself. For ...

34266 Any news about this upcoming nice features Being worked on still, more will be posted about it when it's ready. My top wish for SpaceEngine is for the devs to be more transparent about WIP features. Today's your lucky day then, because I've got a massive dose of transparency coming your way! ...
