The main improvements made in this version are as follows

- Shira AI Assistant Beta version application added

This application aims to produce Shira Universe scripts using Gemini-AI free api. Although it is an experimental application, very good results have already been achieved. 
(Important note : Gemini AI models will not have a free tier available in the EEA (including EU), the UK, and CH. Developers will have to go through the necessary steps to set up a billing account and pay for usage. )
Below the sample video, the location and time information of the place where the total solar eclipse of 2024 will be seen has been found by AI, and the script files required for the eclipse's earth, eclipse corona and space view have also been produced by AI.

 

- Improvements were made especially in the script library and command base.
- Interpolation effect was added to time and camera movements.

 

- Markdown (md) description file with the same name was added to the scripts.
- Three new script programs have been developed and added to the distribution package

  • Day and Night
  • Our Solar System
  • Five Brightest Star
