New Video!

Hello everybody!

When I read, that EM 2 will feature a planetary rotation system, I was quite excited about it. But when I tried to have a look at it, the rotation took a little bit longer than I expected.

In order to still see this system in action, I decided to record about 24 hours of video material on one of the Planets and make a time-lapse out of it.

You can see the video here: http://youtu.be/yuo4u-lRxko

It was recorded with FRAPS and the music in the video is taken directly from the game.

Enjoy and merry christmas everyone!

Interesting, you should also try one from space.

Well done!

That is very cool.

Also gives a good view of the changing weather/clouds system.

Loved the moonset at around 3.20 onwards.

And as Frozen Eagle has said, would be nice to also see what it looks like from orbit.

Really awesome video Scaveneger! And quite an original idea too! Very well done sir, nice work!

Thanks for all the nice comments!

It'll take a while, but I think I will be making a video from the orbit, as you suggested

Does anyone know, wether moons also rotate? If yes, I might be doing a video on that as well

Earth's Moon does not rotate around its axis, it circles earth in an orbit with always the side of the Man Face in the Moon facing Earth!.....

:P

I do not know in EM expensian though if Earth's Moon is rotating, that would be so wrong!.....

:P:P:P:P:P

Uhhhmmm... if the moon is facing the earth always with the same side, then it actually has to rotate

One 360Â° rotation just takes exactly one day if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, what Scavenger said.

Hey guys! As you asked me to do, I've recorded a second video from orbit. It's already uploaded and you can find it here:

Just a little warning! Because it was shot in Sapphire at Evochron station, you can expect heavy traffic and a lot of ships jumping in and out, so it flashes some times quite a bit. But this also gives you a a chance to see the traffic within a day and the new feature that battleships can really turn themselves around now

Another great video, well done.

(*sigh* I'm missing the old soundtrack before the expansion. )

Yes, your right, but looking at it from Earth it does not seem to rotate while in reality it does!.....

@Maars
Oh THAT'S the way you meant it

I actually planned on landing on a moon and just recording the... "sky"... to pass by

@Munshine and Slayer
Thanks, I'm glad you like it

Very cool!, You can see the clouds rotating at a different speed than the planet itself. Realy cool to see both rotating from orbit!
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to do this!....
