The roads look like they are suspended.

The trees look nice, but those don't look like 3d objects.

I also can't help but noticed the image is cut off at the skyline (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)  Ah, the publicity photos.

Optimism?  You sure you are using that word right here rip?

Tell me that terrain doesn't look like a painting with a road laid over it.

DejaVu, be honest now,  does HTC actually pay you to bash every other sim on this BBS or are you just naturally so provincial?

DJ, you are wrong.... it's a RIVER not a road.

Grunherz, I think it's the fact of the matter that DJ has eyeballs that work.

Look up there a little ways... just around where that river goes between those forests.

It sure looks like it's floating to me.

Be honest now.. is THAT the kind of terrain you want?  Trees that are painted on? roads(rivers?) that float on top of them?  The damn thing looks more two dimentional than your thought process.

For a couple of reasons...

Foreshortening... there is none. The river should be getting thinner as it moves away from the camera. The river in that picture would have to be getting progressively wider for it to appear the way it does.

Trees don't encroach on the view of the river. Look at the part of the river that breaks off to the right. A bunch of trees musta been cut down in order for you to see it.

I have no idea how ya'd program a 3D world and end up with the situation like the one in that picture, unless it is indeed floating *and* getting wider as it moves away. Or... could be it's not 3 dimensional at all.

  Im honestly surprised that you always bash just bout everything that people show from other sims/games as possible improvements in AH. This terrain looks better than our terrain to me, we dont have rivers, we dont have real forests just darker green areas, our "3D" individual trees are kinda useless and generally unspectacular, we dont have roads, we pretty much only have lighter and darker areas of green brown. I think AH could use an upgrade in terrain, and this screenshot shows some nice features. I like the forrest shapes and the trees look like trees. It is only one shot to be true, but its nice.
