I think I'm going to cry. :bighug:

I think I'm going to cry. :bighug:

I think I need a defibrillator.

Honestly, it looks like a FREAKING PICTURE!!!!!

Outstanding work by our good Doctor.

Whoa... and now a shot of







<- this location?

I can't wait for tuesday :lol:.

I just have to wonder - are those shadows baked into the texture?

Woah, is that post-production or a graphics client?

Can't wait for that height map stuff...

Which HST is that, and where do I get the reflections? I'm testing SSU right now with my own fictional deployment mission and this would be a nice addition.

Partly. The textures are essentially straight Landsat images, so they inherently contain shadows. There are ways to process these shadows away - the meta data include sun azimuth in addition to elevation, so together with the elevation data it should be possible to un-shadow the images. But I haven't tried any of this, and I don't really think it's worth it. For most of the day the shadows are reasonably consistent, they provide a (fake) illusion of higher elevation sampling resolution than there really is, and they compensate a bit for the lack of self-shadowing in the graphics engine.

Reflections I did myself, using material editor in debugger D3D9. Used HST version is here: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5484"]HST-Ex[/ame]

Postroduction? It's only D3D9 Graphic Client.

Looks very good. :tiphat:
Nice detail indeed, in my opinion the terrain details is perfect for a global mesh. If we add local high resolution textures with normalmaps it will look good as it is even if seen much closer.

And you call yourself an Orbinaut. For shame.

Nice! How big is it in relation to the Jason?
