Creation of a Star

[youngk]

Create a star consisting of

• A 3-D model with clipping
• A nice beautiful texture
• Maybe sounds? (Remember: The Orxonox universe is filled with air!)
• The use of shaders for brightness representation
• The use of particle effects for the corona
• The use of force fields (radial, already present) for the gravitational pull

So Far

• Implemented Newtonian gravitation
• Collision Shapes for Planets

Notes

• ​http://sponeil.net/downloads.htm contains source code for atmospheric shaders
• The paper ​"Schafhitzel et al." documents an efficient way of creating an atmospheric shader for real-time applications.
• ​Nishita Algorithm
• ​Real-Time atmospheric scattering

The Sun (Please download the file, for only then can you see the extreme detail!)
