This is Selden's page about creating some interactive notebooks for use in Celestia.
Celestia is a free 3D astronomical visualization program. See the Celestia home page for details.
These pictures are screengrabs of Celestia displaying aspects of this Addon's development.
These Addons provide 3D CMOD models and scripts to implement an interactive notebook in Celestia v1.61 or later. Celestia is a free 3D astronomical visualization program. For more information, see the Celestia home page. Celestia v1.6.1 for Windows, Mac and Linux is available on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/celestia/files/
If you restore these Zip files into Celestia's Extras directory, Zip should recreate all of the directories and files necessary for them to work with Celestia v1.6.1 or later.
This Addon provides a framework which you could use to implement your own notebook.
This incomplete Addon provides an interactive notebook chronicalling a fictional history of an invasion of our planetary neighbor. Only about half of it has been implemented so far.
Unfortunately, this Addon works only under Windows.
A sub-project was to create a model and images which look like a taped-in photograph to be used in this Addon. This model and assoicated images are available on DeviantArt.
The included HTML (Web) file contains Cel:// URLs which will take you to various viewpoints around the notebook.
While Celestia is running, if you double-click on the icon of the script file which is in the Addon's main directory it'll let you flip through the pages of the notebook.
[ Back to Contents ]
Entries in the notebook can't be edited within Celestia. Its pages can only be changed by using your favorite paint program to modify surface texture images or by creating entirely new pages using your favorite 3D modeling program.
Please notify the author of any features that you would like to see added or improved.
The SSC, STC and HTML files were created for use with Celestia v1.6.1. They cannot work with previous versions of Celestia. These files may need to be modified for use with later versions of Celestia.
The models included in this Addon were created using Anim8or, a free 3D design program written by Steve Glanville. Visit http://www.anim8or.com/ for more information.
The models and documents were created entirely by the author.
Some of the surface textures have been acquired from others. See the Addon's readme file for details.
