Everything you see is generated in real time, even surface texture units . All galaxies and stars are created in real time. Go to the website of the project and help in the development of the money will be spent on the development of applications and the further establishment of a fully fledged game generated world , it needs only 80 000 $ . While this is a beta version but even in this form , it creates the stunning scenery of the cosmos, the installer is just 1 GB (version 0.9.7.1). Join . http://spaceengine.org/ http://spaceengine.org/index/donate/0-36 Capabilities: All the main types of space objects: galaxies, nebulas, stars and star clusters, planets and moons, comets and asteroids. Known objects catalogs: galaxies (NGC / IC), stars (HIPPARCOS), star clusters, nebulae, planets (solar system and extrasolar planets). In unexplored areas occurs procedural generation of objects: galaxies, stars, clusters, nebulae, planetary systems. Motion of the observer in no way limited. The transition between any bodies, any scale continuously. Mission Control in games (WASD), there are modes of motion inertia. Autopilot type "and chose the fly": just click on the object with the mouse and press 'G', to automatically fly to him. Automatic binding of the observer to the moving object and automatically selects the optimal speed of flight. Discover objects by name, search the stars in a given radius, scalable map of the Universe, a map of the planetary system, the preservation of locations, magazine autopilot. Built encyclopedia with descriptions of many famous sites and the possibility of expanding the user. Able to give the names and descriptions do for all objects, including procedural. Movement of the planets in their orbits calculated in real time, it is possible acceleration, deceleration and inversion of the flow of time. Mapping the orbits of the planets, and the rotation velocity vectors, labels, grid index of the selected object, the vector current speed. Volumetric 3D models of galaxies and nebulae from interstellar dust. 3D surface topography planets for many bodies of the Solar System - the actual data on the results of research space probes, for procedural - procedural terrain generation on the GPU. The exact model of the Earth's atmosphere (Eric Bruneton), adapted to other planets. Lighting effects: Crown, solar eclipse, the shadow of the rings, lighting planetary bodies with each other. Spaceships to control (alpha). Original background music with context switching tracks. Localization into many languages with the possibility of adding new ones. The possibility of adding users: models, textures, catalogs. Will be available in the 1st version: Support Oculus Rift, 3D monitors, multi-monitor configurations . Support for joysticks and gamepads . Background music and sound effects. Enhanced Catalog of known objects (Tycho- 2 , SDSS, ...). Deferred shading pipeline. 3D water , clouds and planetary rings . Procedural galaxies and nebulae . Particles : accretion and protoplanetary disks , weather effects , volcanoes . Developed scripting system and WYSIWYG editor ways to create movies. Projection onto a spherical mirror for home planetarium . System requirements. Processor 3 GHz RAM 2 GB Graphics 1024 MB OpenGL 3.0 OS Windows XP / Windows 7/8/8.1/10 AMD FX8320@4.3GHZ 8GB R9 280
