Saturn HD

Description
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter.
It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. Although it has only
one-eighth the average density of Earth, with its larger volume Saturn is just over 95 times more
massive.Saturn is named after the Roman god of agriculture; its astronomical symbol (♄) represents
the god's sickle.

Saturn's interior is probably composed of a core of iron–nickel and rock (silicon and oxygen compounds).
This core is surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen
and liquid helium, and finally outside the Frenkel line a gaseous outer layer. Saturn has a pale yellow
hue due to ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere. Electrical current within the metallic hydrogen layer
is thought to give rise to Saturn's planetary magnetic field, which is weaker than Earth's, but has a
magnetic moment 580 times that of Earth due to Saturn's larger size. Saturn's magnetic field strength is
around one-twentieth of Jupiter's. The outer atmosphere is generally bland and lacking in contrast,
although long-lived features can appear.

Wind speeds on Saturn can reach 1,800 km/h (500 m/s), higher than on Jupiter, but not as high as those
on Neptune.

Saturn has a prominent ring system that consists of nine continuous main rings and three discontinuous
arcs and that is composed mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust.
Sixty-two moons are known to orbit Saturn, of which fifty-three are officially named. This does not include
the hundreds of moonlets comprising the rings. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, and the second-largest in the
Solar System, is larger than the planet Mercury, although less massive, and is the only moon in the Solar
System to have a substantial atmosphere.


Hope you Enjoy

Saturn rings were created by me using Paint.net

the original ring. MWM file is not my work it goes to vorneus link for download is here

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwmJhp6A-Kh-R2FwZWluZ3lUMjQ/view

You will also need my ghost Sky textures mod the link is here

I strongly suggest to please read description on how to manually install pink sky means it has not been
put in properly.

the Mwm file is in the Skyrings folder it must be put into the space engineers game folder
Programfile/Steam/steamapps/common/Spaceengineers/Content/Models/Enviroment/Sky
you can have it in with the original cloudshere mwm do not remove the original

Recommended Size 120 000m (km)

It seems that the rings move over time, like it's part of the cloud layer. Is it possible to stop this?

its an issue that some people are reporting, while others aren't. I'm going to create a new model when I get time that will fix it.
When I made this, I didn't run into the issue testing it on me and my wife's computer - slipped through the cracks

why are the rings cube?

NOTE:
I do not have access to Ghost's account, and he is pretty much off of steam due to real life stuff. I CANNOT UPLOAD A FIXED VERSION HERE, NOR CAN I GET THEM TO UPLOAD IT ON MY BEHALF.
Follow the link I posted previously.

Also, this is the *OLD* version. The new version, which I posted the link to in the description is much different.

If you are using this version, the fact that there's no working atomspheric damage effect is also a tip off to it being outdated, significantly.

I'm working on writing my own script to do that in the new version (not added in as of yet)

The rings in this version are different from the planet, but they do look really similar. With my update, I've made some significant changes to the color gradients of the clouds and of the rings, so its more distinct, but I'm not happy with the look of the rings, ignoring the lack of a division between the rings due to the alpha channel issue as mentioned before.

I have an updated version of the mod, with some fairly noticeable changes. The actual model of the 'rings' is a single disk, which uses an alpha channel for transparency, which gives the impression of there being multiple separate rings. That's how the original mod accomplished this. However, there's been a lot of changes to how textures are done and with planets themselves, all of which aren't properly documented by Keen, so all of us modders are trying to figure out what the hell half of the new values that they added actually *do*.

Once I get that figured out, and have the time (just got a new job - yay!) I have an updated version thrown up.
Like usual, I can't give a release date on this. When I get it done, I'll get it posted ASAP.

the rings look like the same texture as the atmosphere and they are a disk not rings
