Week 23 Continued - Planet View images

Please check the previous blog for a technical summary of this weeks work!

Here are some images of the planet views that I implemented this week, and a final program shot. Click to expand images. The Saturn view is my favourite, be sure to check them all out!

And finally, a shot of the program, from the perspective of Jupiter looking towards the Sun. You can see the inner four planets - Mars (top right), Earth and Venus (above the Sun) and Mercury (small dot below the Sun). I've also decided to use a different star image in my skybox, as the last one seemed a little busy and hurt the eyes - I think this one looks better.

Full technical update still to come at the end of the week.
