Asteroid 2008 EA9 (dockable) 2012-11-13

preview[1].png


2008 EA9 is a Near-Earth Asteroid. Its diameter is 10 meters and its mass is 1200 tons.
The geometry and the texture of this addon are entirely fictional. The mesh is composed of 10,000 polygons and the texture is 2048x2048 pixels.

The interesting feature is that you can dock your spacecraft on this rock. In deed, there is 6 docking ports, allowing to simulate an anchoring. Once you are anchored, you can make experiments on how to move an asteroid. For example, take the Arrow Freighter and try to bring back this asteroid in earth orbit. This is a real challenge but this is possible (I tried succesfully).
#UPDATE 1 : Now includes a high quality mesh (30,000 polys) in meshes folder. Not used by default, you have to rename the .msh to erase the old one.
#UPDATE 2 : Now includes a normal map, compatible with D3D9 and D3D11 clients.
