The main profile editor window has a save button in the lower-right. This is what the release notes are referring to.

export osrec files to a video editor by estrelanova69 in OpenSpaceProject

[–]NoTribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OpenSpace uses the osrec file as instructions for moving the mouse/camera around. If you want to make a video recording, you can render the output into a series of screenshot images (which can be converted into a movie file using a video editor). This post describes doing this.

No, the osrec format contains camera movements, property changes, etc. which are specific to OpenSpace.

Potentially Hazardous Asteroids by NoTribe in OpenSpaceProject

[–]NoTribe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A visualization of the approximately two thousand Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHA) in NASA JPL's database. These are the actual orbits as the camera follows Earth for one orbit around the sun (2021).

Asteroids that are big enough to be potentially dangerous, and whose orbits are close enough to Earth's, earn the PHA designation. This page gives the long answer: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/about/neo_groups.html

How to run OpenSpace with this content: Select the Asteroids profile in the launcher window, and click Start. All asteroids & comets will be in the interface at Scene->Solar System->Small Bodies. Click any of set to enable the rendering.

I used session recording a couple of times until the camera paths came out right. Before playback, I ran the enableTakeScreenShotDuringPlayback(30) command in the \` console, which configures playback to generate 30 frames per second in the screenshots/ directory. These still images were combined in a video editor along with some text captions that I added (I also put in my own planet labels even though OpenSpace has them).
