Hi Folks
Recently I managed to view the HD version of the videos.
EXPECTATIONS - Personal -
<snip.>
Autogen Vegetation -
Speedtree.
I was wrong there.
Australia-March-Build -
Terrain LOD'ing -
Nearby view - 'Digital Surface Model' covered by autogen.
Distant view - POSSIBLY 'Digital Terrain Model' for canopy cover.
Looks like the trees are volumetric, (rather than xyz planes).
Clouds_Barcelone -
Model/texture artifacting displaying at cloud edge overlaps.
Possibly a cloud impostor model is missing its texture, (at one-o-clock).
As they're volumetric, it's not an impostor.
However that pic/scene also appears in the latest video,
Global Preview Event, Episode 2 (WEATHER), (@ 8:50 minutes)
and the pronounced ring is more obvious.
? Atmospheric effect ?
MS/Asobo - If you're watching - Some Trivia -
One of your videos shows Chicago from the lake.
There are several vessels in view,
one of which is an LNG bulk carrier, (MOSS type, i.e. spherical tanks).
She looks larger than SeawayMax, (23.8m beam).
LNG bulk carriers normally ply inter-continental routes, between terminals.
AFAIK there are zero LNG marine terminals on the Great Lakes.
LNG powered ships, possibly, LNG bulk carriers, no.
re: Beta testing -
Good luck to all those accepted to participate.
Have fun.
Just wish I had a capable PC to join in.
