Kwok has made several new planets for the ST mod, and if you was willing, one could get the meshes from him and make some spinning planet gifs.

Hey David,

I did a search on Google for "animated planets" and found several sites. Here are some of them:

http://www.3d-animated.com/animation/3d/planets/

http://usa.venus.co.uk/weed/agifs/vagapl1.htm

http://bestanimations.com/Earth&Spac...s/Planets.html

http://www.iconbazaar.com/orbs/animated/planets/

The Last one has very smooth, nicley done planets (better than the other 3).

Hope these are usefull

Well, there are lots of nice planets at some of the links, but the animated gifs are quite big,..



..this one for example is 72k in size, compared to my normal avatars (3k) that's a lot bigger. even the animated avatars I have previously done are usually 20k or less. So I wonder if it's really worth the time and space? (fyi, I did a test removing every second frame in this jupiter anim and it looked a bit jerky and only saved some 11k on the file size.)

Cheers!

I hope the SEV uses animated planets and stars.

They look way cool, and give the game a boost in the eye candy department.

I hope Aaron focuses SEV on improvemnts of SEIV, but also in the area of eye candy. GalCiv really did a good job in this department, and MOO3 has a great 3d galaxy map.

If Aaron were to combine these elements together for SE V, wooow brother what a game that would be.

On your mark, get set, Go!...



FYI: I have a 30gig HD and I still have some 13.7gig free. So I guess I'm good for another 25,000 avatars or so. ;-)
Cheers!

They look slightly alike. But I still think the avatar image looks more like my cousin.
