Author Topic: Universe Sandbox 3 - New Screenshots - November 2012 (Read 60357 times)

Dan Dixon · « **on:** November 16, 2012, 02:01:29 PM »

These are work-in-progress screenshots of the aftermath of a collision, six black holes in chart mode, and the first screenshot of our procedural galaxy system (a spiral galaxy with 1, 2, and 3 arms).

Universe Sandbox 3 is a major update due out in 2013 for both Windows and Mac. This is a full rewrite of Universe Sandbox in a new 3D engine.

These screenshots largely represent the amazing work of Georg and Eric. Thanks also to Chris and Thomas for making these visuals be manipulable and move in amazing ways.

Looks plenty real to me. Looks pretty cool as well.

Are those chunks of rock in the background oncoming asteroids or are they chunks of rock that got ejected from the big crater?

This is amazing. Good job team!
What are those bright dots near the bottom-left region on the planet?

God yes! I can't wait for ubox 3!

100% Beautiful, and that's all if have to say.

Geez, Every time there is a showcase of the features they pile on more amazing on top of already amazing work.

JayPix2012 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 17, 2012, 06:02:19 PM »

Hurry up with that beta for UBox3. We need something to cool our brains down before they meltdown and go nuclear on us, and trust me that is a VERY bad thing for us. Who else agrees with me on this one?

tuto99 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2012, 06:27:27 PM »

Just as much as I want to get my hands on this already, I also want to wait. Just wait JayPix.

Yes this is real, not reel.
This is a screenshot from the aftermath of a simulated collision.

Yes.

Which one or are you not telling, or is it both? Lol. Either answer would be cool anyways.

Darvince · « **Reply #19 on:** November 19, 2012, 10:11:01 PM »

Holykol this is very cute since it is not a generation setting.

Sorry... doing a bad job of answering questions before fully reading them.

In that screenshot they are ejected matter from the collision.

Cool, I can just imagine what a planet vs planet scale collision would look like.

Your nose tricked you big time.

OT: US3 looks amazing. I want to see some stellar evolution gifs in the next set of screenshots, the camera cut off in the video demonstration

Here's the stellar evolution demonstration that you missed during the Unite presentation:

That was brilliant! The suns look so detailed up close now. Thanks for linking the video. I never knew about this beforehand.

I can't wait to do this with our own Sun. Seeing the fate of the Solar System.

I can see the project is going wonderfully and amazingly! It's awesome by far.
