Needs some lights and tassle.

Needs some lights and tassle.

Jep.

I also think it needs me flying over it. And you too if you wish. And others. Everybody. :D

[SkateZilla]

I can drive through it in my Hummer

[leafer]

Good looking trees. I hope to crash a helo into them one of these days! ;)

 

You can't hide your sarcasm from me. :P

[Ganesh]

If You stare at this long enough...........You'll hear Birds Chirp!!:D

Yeah! Pure idyll

[cichlidfan]

I see this thread is progressing well! :D

[EagleEye]

When I first saw pic 2 then I thought on this:

[howie87]

Barbarians! Get the CBU 87's out!

[Ganesh]

:D

and Barbarians with upgradable characters

[zaelu]

When I first saw pic 2 then I thought on this:

 

He was flying over that terrain in his A10C until... he took an arrow in the knee

 

 

 

 

(:D sorry)

[luckybob9]

He is watching something that others may never believe.

 

But on topic, nothing about tree collisions has been announced and will probably not be announced until later

Step 1: Sell to Smithsonian in another 50 years

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Profit

 

IIRC, it were socks. :lol:

 

 

I'm sure he will and he will have one of these moments...

 

 

This thread made my day. :megalol:

so It's now a "Everyone download the latest version of the screenshot and add something to it" chain?

Underpants, not socks

Nevada Update: Color Issue

 

If no one else is going to mention this, I will...

 

These shadows look... green.

 

It should be closer to this.

 

 

 

 

Here's the problem:

Top = ED

Bottom = Real life

 

Notice the completely different hue of the shadows. Compare the cloud shadows to the ground shadows in both pictures. Please fix this, ED. Basic atmospherics and lighting must be right, if nothing else.

[BHawthorne]

From their 10/29 update: "Today the team also started to set up the ground shading and sun lighting color parameters that we believe will start to give the world a much more natural look."

 

They are still working color palette. That was mentioned awhile back.

two screens have different position of the light (sun). In ED shot the sun is around 11oc from PoV, in real life shot the sun is more 7-8oc... so in top shot you are looking at side of the tree that should be in shadow side, while the real shot shows the tree side that is lit by sunlight... that's why its brighter

[luckybob9]

location of where that photo was taken also plays a role since the air could be denser, more polluted/ less polluted, lower sun angle, etc and its WIP

[SkateZilla]

[aaron886]

Too much rationalization. It has nothing to do with brightness, only hue.

[Blaze]

While not getting ahead of myself, these screens are also from the Terrain Viewer, not in-game. So it may not look the same. Same way models don't look quite the same in-game as they do in modelviewer.

[SkateZilla]

Back on topic, I think the colors are off because it's in the terrain viewer and it prolly doesnt simulate certain atmospheric effects, nor are the shadow shader's prolly tuned, it's prolly an early build.

 

 

[cichlidfan]

I never saw anything that said it was this planet or this sun. Our attention was directed to the trees not the environment. :P

[Silver_Dragon]

An the star question..... collision-able trees and IA LOS?

[Suchacz]

Our lead developer in charge of the NTTR map has been out of the office this week, so progress was rather slow. However, I've attached a couple images of the new trees being developed for this map.

So it probably looked like this... :megalol:
