Hey,

I made this simple simulation of our Solar System in 3D. It runs on Windows and can be downloaded for free on itch.io:
Solar System 3D on itch.io

Solar System 3D visualizes the orbital movements of the planets around our Sun. Data on the individual celestial bodies can also be called up.

Calculations and infos are based on parameters published by NASA. Planet textures are based on NASA elevation and imagery data.
The galaxy background consists of a skybox with randomly generated textures ( https://tools.wwwtyro.net/space-3d/index.html )

Shots:









The main reason I did this was to get some more practice with 3D, and of course the fascination I have with space

Cheers,
PSY

Looking good, you could create some amazing space games with this if you create a star system generator with it with the physics etc it would be amazing

That looks great. Is the background a shader or just graphics.

EDIT: Nevermind, you wrote that you get the background from a different site.

Thank you Mike
The background is a skybox consisting of 6 planes put together to a cube. It moves with the camera. The textures are from the site I mentioned.
