Also must admit it is brilliant work!
Good job m8.
Keep it going =]

i think we can call it "photo-realism-starsphere-mod"

Since this is totally clientside - how about packing both your atmospheres and the FL HD texture mod into one package?

They do look fantastic! But i note you don't show any of the nebulas in your screenshots. I tried going down a similar route to yourself but the nebulas looked bloody awful cos they just don't blend in with that sort of background. Ended up using very similar textures to the originals, you can see bits of them in my Xlancer pics in the gallery.

Yours will be bloody awesome if you don't use any nebulas though, or you can make better textures for the nebulas to compliment them. I tried but failed, looked like big square blocks in space for some reason, maybe alpha or something I guess.

Top work anyway!

Well, you could think over using the HD textures as a base to start your texture work with. Just a rand() idea, I am not going to dictate you how and what you should do and what not.

omg sex for my eyes.

@ Timmy, I think I'll be able to produce nebulae that fit this. If they look like blocks, try lowering the brightness of the colour in the [Fog] section, that way they should blend in a little better.

Just incase anyone else doesn't know what the hell I'm going on about, both [Fog] and [Exterior] are viewable from distance. [Exterior] is the core of the nebula and [Fog] is the surround.

Hope this helps someone.

Oh and Hunor, I'm loving the latest productions!
