When I was exploring the forum I found this:
http://en.spaceengine.org/blog/animated_model_of_jupiter/2013-04-07-14
It looks so cool but it isn't implemented yet, why?
(It's really old so old forum users may have saw it)

It took up a lot of space, made the download size of the program larger, and barely added anything to the program that users would notice.

I wonder if it's included in official addons.

I never tried to download any of them because of my slow internet connection. (I've downloaded the last version SE many days later its release)



The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 270 RAM: 8 GBs

(still don't know why everyone is doing this...)

It wasn't. It's just cloud layers that move at different velocities.

It is also possible with this version.

One must make only a custom Jupiter script and get the clouds textures. From an old SE version (0.970 or 0.971)



Don't forget to look here.

I extracted the Jupiter cloud textures and script from 0.971 and I can see why it would be hard for users to notice the clouds moving. If you sped up time until the cloud movement was noticeable, you'd be too distracted by Jupiter flicking between day and night to appreciate the clouds. So I decided to cheat -- I sped up the cloud velocities by 1000x, and now if you accelerate time to 10x or 30x it starts looking pretty good. The 26 MB pak file is available from this Mega link.

Here are two scripts to animate the clouds of Jupiter.
One with normal clouds speed, the other with 10,000 times the acceleration.

TO USE IT:
Put one of the attached files in addons\catalogs\planets'.

Get somewhere the 'Clouds' textures.
They were in SE 0.97 and SE 0.971.

In SE 0.971 there are two texture folders: 'textures\planets\Jupiter' and 'textures\planets_hires\Jupiter'.

In SE 0.97 is only one: 'textures\planets\Jupiter'
Copy the whole 'Jupiter' folder (normal or hires) to 'addons\textures\planets'
Done.

The old versions can be downloaded here:
SE 0.970
SE 0.971
For 0.971 there are an installer version and a .zip version. Download the .zip version. Then, the folder can be extracted without installing the program.
