Earth-Moon simulation (alpha)

BROKEN - ABANDONED
Remake planned (long term)

A full simulation of the Earth-Moon-Sun system completely made with the Wallpaper Engine 3D editor, with textures in 8k and 360 camera.
Everything is to scale and the orbits are elliptical, decentered and tilted as in reality.

Simulated Earth's movements:

• Rotation - 23h 56m
  
• Revolution around Sun - 365d 6h 14m

Simulated Moon's movements:

• Rotation - 27d 7h 40m
  
• Revolution around Earth - 27d 7h 40m
  
• Apsidal precession - 8y 310d 12h (rotation of the orbital plane)

For all other movements I didn't simulate them either because i didn't find enough information to reliably implement them or because they take too long and would be pointless, as they won't give any visual impact.

HDR is needed, so you need to have the post-processing setting on ultra. The high precision timers are also highly recommended.

This is still in alpha. Why? Because it still lacks a lot of things like shadows and animated textures, the editor lacks support for these things, so only once they are implemented this is going in beta.
Why in beta? because I also plan to simulate the entire solar system, so it still lacks the other planets, but i can't easily add them because of another thing lacking in the editor. But once this is done as well I'm going to post it as a separate wallpaper.
