Beyond our worlds: Space Engine screenshots gallery

[SolarLiner]

Space Engine being a beautiful planetary app, I thought we can have a thread where we can show our shots

How To: Make Nebulae/Galaxies look better | Make Ultra HD+ shots

I start:

^ This one is 2k !

^ And these ones 4k+ !

Bonus: Panorama mode !

I just discovered this program yesterday...

[Massive Effect]

Great shots, here is a few I made today.

[sal_vager]

These are beautiful, I hope someday KSP looks as good, and I hope this thread takes off, so I've chosen your thread SolarLiner as the Space Lounge thread for October, congrats

[The Destroyer]

Okay.

WHY.

HAVEN'T.

I DOWNLOADED THIS BEFORE?

Oh right, sucky PC caused the game to crash on startup.

But now with new PC.

Alright, dling.

[Firenexus13]

Cool pics! and congratz on the thread of the month!

[Omicron314]

I wish I could use this. It worked for a little while on my Bootcamp partitioned PC-on-a-Mac, but now it crashed regularly. The only way around it is, according to the people on their forums, is to buy a PC, which is out of the question for me right now. Really sad: Spave Enginr is amazing.

A few more amazing scenes from Space Engine.

And just to put things into perspective, every single point of light, every single star, every galaxy you can see in these pictures you can click and "go to" and explore. Each star system has its own planets, moons asteroids etc.. ALL of which are explorable.

I have LOD set to -2, but never see something as great as this!

Well, here's mine anyway.

In andromedia galaxy, I found a cluster. And a planet.

First plant of life I found

Nice view

[Firenexus13]

i don't have a screenshot, but once i saw a duna in this game O_o

[Firenexus13]

Ok, here they are.

and the planet it orbits

[rasheed]

Jeez it looks resource instensive

[Rjhere]

Will contribute with some screenies when i get to my PC again (next monday)

[iDan122]

I would've run SE more often if it weren't so unstable on my Windows 8 64 bit .

Session are from 1 minute to my record 30min.

[Rjhere]

Okay, so got to my computer and took some pics. I don't know if they are good, because to me they seem a tad dark. Also some bad textures some places. Don't know if that's a setting or something else... Anyway here we go:

This is the M1 supernova remnants view to the galactic core.

Random asteroid view to the galactic core, and host star to the right.

Star S Doramus's view of the large Magellanic cloud and Milky Way (Inside the cloud).

Same thing...

View of the Milky Way from the small Magellanic cloud. A nebulae and a cluster inside it!

Another view of the Milky Way from a dwarf galaxy far far away...

Some nebulaes in this picture... How many can you count? (I count twelve nebulaes)

A weird looking nebulae. I like it. You can see it as a small dot in the previous picture.

Two galaxies. I thought they were cool. These are actual galaxies, can't remember the name though.

Same galaxies, different perspective.

An awesome quadruple star system! ERMAGHERD. Though it isn't an actual system, it's called "RS 8404-479-7-1962945-4". RS for Random Star (randomly generated)

I love space engine, so beautiful,

I just have so much trouble controlling it, The controls are just completely non-intuitive to me,

And I wanted to park one of it's space ships over Jupiter to take some screenshots... I spent enough time that it was no longer fun trying to make that happen.

[Coldfinger008]

I once found a planet called Bloop with life on it, orbited by a moon called Bloopy, which had life as well.

If i could actually upload pics i would show you.

Bloop also had this nice big hurricane formation. Turned out it was just a giant sipal cloud with a hole in it.

Looked cool as hell anyways.

[tom1499]

I wish I could but Space Engine does not like Intel graphics...

Hot damn I wish my GPU worked.

[Motokid600]

What would it take for KSP to look like this?

[PTNLemay]

When it says "proceedurally generated", does that mean that certain parts are fundamentally random?

For example, if I load the map and find a little blue star some 300 LY from Earth. And around that star I find a little planet with water on it. And on that planet I find a cool crescent-shaped impact crater or something. Can I get the coordinates, send them to a friend, have him open up his Space Engine, and find the exact same crater? Or will his universe be generated differently?

Basically I'm wondering how the generated worlds "persists" or not.

[Sylandro]

Be careful with this game, you may lose your jaw.

[Gojira]

Great shots, here is a few I made today.

planet and galaxy image

"A still more glorious dawn awaits, not a sunrise, but a galaxyrise."

[Sylandro]

Oh, oh, ooooh oooooh!

HINT: Look at the temperature.

Guys who is running it on windows 8? If so, how can I stop SE crashing on me?

[SolarLiner]

These are beautiful, I hope someday KSP looks as good, and I hope this thread takes off, so I've chosen your thread SolarLiner as the Space Lounge thread for October, congrats

Necro quote here, but I just seen this and ohh yes! Not only for me, but this app needs to be seen by every guy here. On the SE forums KSP is very much appreciated btw

After a quick look these are all beautiful shots there, real hope that KSP should become as beautiful as this !

Yes, there is on planet type in Space Engine that really looks like Duna ... Coincidence? I think not!

PLUS: How to enhance your Galaxies / Nebulas / Comets shots: Disable FBs in the Graphcis (CTRL+F4) menu. Warning ! This is soo GPU intensive but soo much beautiful:
