Space engine vs universe sandbox 2 simulator#
This simulator needs to be fully rewritten on OpenGL so that it has a much stronger foundation for much better performance.īelow there are two images. Universe Sandbox 2 is a space simulator that can be downloaded for PC. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Universe Sandbox 2 has so many bugs and technical glitches, so when developers fix them, they cause other bugs and errors as well. SpaceEngine is a free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Space Engine runs on an engine called OpenGL, so I would suggest Universe Sandbox 3 to run on OpenGL as well, because it will have much better performance and run much, much faster with super realistic graphics. When landing on a planet's surface, instead of viewing a fake view on a surface, the planets surface will have fully textured landscapes, like in Space Engine and moving waves on oceans and other bodies of water.Ĭurrently, Universe Sandbox 2 run on an engine called Unit圓D.
My suggestion is to have the next release as Universe Sandbox 3 with super realistic graphics. It is time to greatly improve Universe sandbox 2 by releasing another version which will greatly improve its graphics.
