All those screenshots look gorgeous, but what is it with the shininess of the planets? They look a bit like they are from metal... or is it just me?

Oceans are reflective and that is the origin of the shininess. However, Oolite does not check what color the atmosphere is in order to assign an appropriate color to the water areas. Instead, it just assigns whatever planetinfo.plist's sea color key tells it to. So, sometimes water may appear in colors such as gray, copper or whatever. Shininess on such colors will have a metal-like effect and it will be more prominent if the atmosphere color is totally different and irrelevant to water color..

Busy readying another oxp at the moment but just wanted to say...

Although the asp was never one of my favourite of Griff's models, it looks fabulous here.


Great but subtle use of lighting.

Thumbs up from me
