(31st March) - Planet movements over time [Gif]

Sapporo · Mar 14, 2016

Got a few good rep on my last post about something like that. Here's a new one for you guys =3

This is about 50 minutes time lapse.

Edit date don't remember: I messed up this one by moving the ship a little in the middle of the gif. HUD not hidden to show the black hole. Hope you enjoy! It's about 25 minutes only.

Edit 15 of March: Here's another new one c= about 30 minutes time lapse.
Probably my favorite so far. I got 2 or 3 others I'll post later. Stay tuned c: !

Edit 21st of March

Saw a post not long ago about a planet being super close to it's star. Went ahead and time lapsed it! Made two version with this 1 hour 30 minutes time lapse.

Faster version (less pictures big gives a good idea still)

Slow version (more pictures, but a lot slower and smoother)

Edit 24 March: New one for you guys. I'm really sad about this one because after some time, Fraps decided to screenshot another software on my computer and I didn't realise it... Lost about 1h30 of footage...

Oh well, still go 1h50 on this one. Hope you like it!

Edit March 26: Made two new gifs for you guys. Hope you enjoy!

30 minutes.

About 4 hours. If you look closely, we can see the bigger planet is rotating on itself. Also there's 3 bodies in the sky.

This is really cool. 5 hours IRL. Hope you like it!.

I made a couple as well, though they're short as I had never made timelapses before and wasn't sure how long I could let it run or how to put them together.

Smoother but shorter 30FPS version

I've since gotten a better grasp on how to make them but haven't had any opportunities to make any in a while.

Sapporo · Mar 14, 2016

This is awesome, +1.

Sapporo, I believe I spoke with you either on Distant Worlds, fuel rats or on the forums recently. The name sounds familiar

Super work Cmdr Sapporo. I'm kind of an amator astromer IRL and these are awesome videos of places we can only visit in Elite Dangerous! Keep them coming ;-)
