I guess SE could find a way. Defining it as a bunch of contiguous galaxies might possibly do the trick, I suppose. Although it wouldn't be straightforward to define its global structure that way.
They let me use this!

It could use a term similar to star cluster but for galaxies: ''Galactic Cluster''.

I imagine the reasoning behind it would be the resource limitations of computers, a super gaming computer with gobs of video memory could probably handle rendering a galaxy 6 million ly across but most don't have super gaming computers. Unless the galaxy was split up into sections and it rendered each section as you traveled through it.
Still Space engine is a phenomenal software, and haven't found anything like it.
It is by far one of the top space simulation programs.

| SpaceEngineer, nice work with the progress on Rift support. Also, the gas giant from the first picture looks like something from the planet palettes thread. Are you including some of the palettes in the next version or is it just an old one?

| Looks great and very excited for this. Although I did notice when viewing the images on the rift on 1280x800 fullscreen there seems to be some convergence issues/depth issues. (like the satellite dishes not looking very 3d) I don't usually experience this in any native demos (hl2, titans of space, etc) the images seems to not line up well and strain the eyes a bit (not focused on infinity?). Not sure if it is the ipd setting for the images, as I have exactly 64mm ipd. Just wanted to leave some feedback. as a side note, I recently donated to your project and REALLY appreciate you putting in all the hard work to make this happen for the rift! I have no doubts it will be mind blowing.

| kart32, thanks. the issue with convergense is because I am not implement yet the offset frustums.

| I look forward to trying this with the hydra and the rift. I had to setup a profile for the hydra and it works surprisingly well, can't wait to see how much better it is with both.

| simply amazing guys... can't wait to test it with the Rift:
Is there any way to have an ''alpha build'' just for the rift?

| So, to my understanding, irregular galaxy models are procedurally generated. Can the same system be used for diffuse nebulae?

| Irregular galaxy models are still not procedurally generated. Both procedural nebulae and galaxy models are on the ToDoList.
Want some music of mine ? Please go here !

| Just got back from a trip and saw you have updated pics with camera "offset frustums" added. It looks SO much better! (viewing pics with rift now) Thank you for posting that.  Added (16.02.2014, 13:39)
---------------------------------------------
Sorry to double post, this rift "solar system exploration" demo just came out and I was pretty impressed. Figure I would share it and perhaps it would give some more ideas to you (this may top titans of space for me) the warp speed and sound effect sounds awesome and sense of scale/distance between the planets is amazing. https://developer.oculusvr.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6321
I know space engine is way more advanced than this, I was just kind of diggin how it was executed.
