Today we publish the new Gaia Sky web site. If you are reading this, you obviously know it. I’ve been working on this for a while, and, even though it is not yet finished, I think it is now ready to be deployed. Until now, we have used the website of our institute, which uses the Typo3 CMS, as our home page. In a few days, I’ll make it point to this new site.
📢 Today we publish the version 3.6.6 of Gaia Sky. This is a small update focused on fixing some bugs and improving performance. Also, it comes with proper handling of depth for volumes!
The Trifid nebula (NGC6514) rendered as a volume with correct usage of the depth buffer.
📢 Today, coinciding with the end of the sky-scanning phase of Gaia, we publish Gaia Sky 3.6.5. The most noteworthy addition is the introduction of the volume rendering infrastructure.
