Solar System

Current status: Look at the following video of the screen recording by Ridwan from the Blender simulation session of the Solar System objects' orbital motions.

Check AR Solar System https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rrDHIDpxoU which can place a SS planet on any real world flat surface.

Pending tasks

For Tu, I think the best (and urgent) task is the creation of a high-quality Solar System (SS) model created in Unity. The SS model will have:

  • Accurate orbits (via 6 orbital elements for each planet and the Moon).
  • Have high-quality, real images as the surface textures.
  • Have user interactivities to set the viewing orientations and observing time/date.
    • mouse action to tilt, rotate, and zoom the view
    • UI elements to set the time/date
  • Script controllability (via Python or C#)

These are important pending tasks/notes for this simulation.
