This weeks status update.
« on: April 18, 2014, 04:46:42 PM »
Things have been moving along as we are in the art and detailing of the new terrain engine.

The video and screen shot are only a sample of what the new engine can do, as example we currently are only using 3 tree types and a couple of buildings in the general terrain set.

The core engine is fairly complete and we are adding things like ground clutter( grass) and a new road system, as we continue to create the new art for the system.

Please do not make any assumptions on things like visible ranges of shadows and trees and such, those are most likly to change once we have the full are set and can then balance performance and quality.

The trees sway! Is that going to be dependent on wind direction, or is it a canned animation?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

My question, too. Hope it means we'll have wind down  low now.

Building objects with reflections in the window glass. Now that was an unexpected nice touch.

 :aok

Will we be able to see that enemy GV in those reflections?
