Bunch of recent updates (after Saturn-like rings):<\/p>\n

- Uranus-like narrow rings around procedural planets
\n- Updated impostors system for galaxy\/nebula rendering
\n- Editor for raymarched nebula
\n- Fully customizable shader for raymarched nebulae: config file describes parameters\/uniforms, which automatically added to the shader, editor and scripts
\n- When the Solar System Browser is opened and user selects a new star system and presses F2, the Solar System Browser updates the planets table instead of closing itself
\n- Context menu point \"Browse planetary system\" opens the Solar System Browser on a currently selected object's hierarchy level
\n- Number of eclipse shadows per planet increased to 8
\n- Updated textures and elevation maps for Phobos and Deimos
\n- Added credits screen and donate button to the main menu<\/p>\n

Comparison with the Deimos photo:<\/p>\n

Credits page, it automatically starts scrolling, as usual:<\/p>\n

And a bunch of new nebulae. Duke working on a single universal shader, which is able to render all types of nebulae you have seen before. Just tweak ~100 parameters in the editor, and you can turn egg-shaped planetary nebula into diffuse cloud or into supernova remnant. This is a basis for procedural engine: it will generate unique parameters for each procedural nebula, making unique appearance. Just like it doing for planets.<\/p>\n

This one could be used as a circumstellar disk (protoplanetary disk). Must be implemented in engine as a planetary system part, not as a nebula.<\/p>\n
