I have written a modest tutorial on how to build realistic-looking planets with Povray using two images and 60 lines of code. If high-resolution image material is used, the results look better than photographs taken by amateur astronomers with the most expensive equipment in the world.

Finally I have a decent Povray package ready for release. It contains a macro that uses high-resolution images to create an almost photorealistic image of the Milky Way. Only a few lines of code, but it really makes a difference.

Two new pages for my somewhat empty Povray section, which deal with the topics of tutorials and freely accessible script-collections. Both listings are still small, but if I find new websites, I will add them. Let's see where that ends.

I have already published some renderings of our Earth-Moon, last month I tried the same with planet Mars. NASA has also put high-resolution maps of Mars on the Internet, with the help of which I created a movie and close-ups of interesting areas.

I rarely succeed in good design, my private websites have always looked mediocre. If the emotive word "responsive" is added, frustration is inevitable. But with a bit of luck, I have now successfully put the worst behind me.

After creating two HD movies of the dark side last month, it was now the turn of maps, global views and images of craters. It has some really beautiful areas on the far side of the moon, which I wasn't aware of before.

In the last few months, some Povray packages have been finished in a usable way, with the help of which I was able to prettify the journey of my Tussi space probe.

Small comparison between an analog image of the Lunar crater Plato from the 90s, and a recent rendering of the same area. The difference is quite ... fiercely.
