Want new galaxy shapes.

[monmarfori]

I like different galaxy shapes to interact each other. We should have a new version of universe sandbox to do this.

[Chaotic Cow]

I agree. Dan should include a few galaxies that are not spiral.

[Naru523]

Lenticular, elliptical, Barred Spirals, irregular, dwarf, etc.

A double menu system would be cool. As in you pick for example a barred galaxy and it opens to a new menu and you can choose from 'small', 'medium', 'large', and possibly custom. Custom could be you enter the size in light years and it procedurally makes a galaxy with the right amount of particle int the right place. Though I don't expect this for quite some time if Dan tried to implement it.

We need mergers so that i can enjoy that program.

[Dan Dixon]

I expect that the next version of Universe Sandbox will give the user customizable control over the creation of galaxies. You'll be able to change things like shape, color, size, etc...

Speaking of customization, where do you put the custom textures? Astro Synthesis generates picture files when you generate textures.

[Dan Dixon]

where do you put the custom textures?

There should be a media folder here:
(My) Documents\Universe Sandbox\Media

Put your custom textures here.

Thats what i thought

[Naru523]

Dan said a few months, not a year 

We might get a beta version though.

[atomic7732]

Wouldn't it be the alpha test version? It goes alpha, beta, final.

[monmarfori]

Maybe the release is September-December 2009.

[Naru523]

I thought Dan would said Alpha would be released in a few weeks..
