Uh, I didn't have any "catalog" folder in the addons part to begin with, but making one and adding the pak file there did work, thank you for that!Did you put the '.pak' file in the 'addons\catalogs' folder? Not just in the 'addons' folder, as is usually the case with addons.
The 'catalogs' folder is not created automatically by SpaceEngine. Just the 'addons' folder. You have to create the sub-folders yourself if necessary.
JD is there a way to toggle between these planets and the original ones that are part of the program?
Can you take an artist rendition and put in on a planet in Space Engine?honestly no, it looks great, but if its possible to use custom textures in SE (which i swear i can remember being a thing), then the author could incorporate the actual artists' rendition textures that were used in the official renders
This is sick! How did you make these?Title basically says it all.
The goal of this was to emulate the look of the artist renditions of the planets, while getting as close as I can to it's ESI. I've kinda given up on the ESI aspect, but kept the looks.
The 2020 Update!
After years of waiting, the Artist Rendition-Accurate Exoplanets addon is ready for 0.990 (if ignoring any possible errors)!
Along with updating every exoplanet to be suitable for 0.990, every major exoplanet discovery from 2018 has also been added, so let's just get along with them.
As always, if there are any issues or requests you'd like to address please say them! I'll try to keep this up to date, but we'll see how that goes now that I'm in college.

i have since learnt that its unfortunately not possible to apply custom textures to planets, you just have to rely on the procedural generation. oh well, maybe thats something for 1.0 and later versionsCan you take an artist rendition and put in on a planet in Space Engine?
Well that sucks. I still want to know how to edit the exoplanets to make them look accurate to the illustrations.i have since learnt that its unfortunately not possible to apply custom textures to planets, you just have to rely on the procedural generation. oh well, maybe thats something for 1.0 and later versionsCan you take an artist rendition and put in on a planet in Space Engine?
