Probably yes, updating all textures on the planet is quite fast now.

Can't wait for what the seasons look like on other planets

Decided to make black holes more like the EHT simulations, still 2D but Watsisname and ARBB were pretty informative

Oh man so close yet more waiting.

Planetary Ring Combination

You mean to me that rings can be reflected on other objects besides the one that has the ring?

27329 Will we be able to export these newfangled ray-marched nebula scripts like we can with planets? Say I find a nebula while touring the procedural universe. I edit it until I get it looking exactly the way I want, can I then export the script so I can place it whereever in the universe I choose ...

Cool what does it look like

What's the Orange cloud in the background

A nebula. In SE 0.990.

Large nebulae have other problem - blending with the galaxy. There is simply no blending, nebula just rendered on top of the galaxy. So if you try to look on it through the galaxy dust, the result will be incorrect:

This is not so noticeable on small nebulae. Similar ...

They may be as large as you want, but resolution / level of detail will be fixed anyway.

You mean there will be nebulas that's just as big as the Tarantula Nebula?

If that's isn't space engine then good job

Is there a way to participate in this?

Launch/Steam trailer is nearing completion and is being worked on by at least 4 people with input from 11 people, so I don't think anymore people are needed currently.

I hope the launch trailer is a masterpiece, if it features elon musk

Wow it all looks so real! Kinda disappointed that real life nebula won't be raymarched, but the galaxies look just the best! It was pretty funny that you bring up Kexitt's galaxies because I just downloaded them and put them into spaceengine ...
