Possibly the biggest disappointment?

Postby Mehdi » Mon Jan 09, 2006 7:08 am

I bought UNE (Ultimate Night Environment), and I have to admit that to my eyes, it appeared to be pretty cack... Needless to say, I don't like it that much... :-[

Anyone else agree with me?

Hmm, I really liked that package... ::)

...large cities with that thing is alittle cack, but once you get out into the rural enviroment, it becomes jaw dropping :)

Rural environments are ok, yes... but major urban places, i.e. large cities and the like look very blurry, and the guide advises you to change the zoom to x0.50... hell no.  ;D

Not enough color, its all too bright, and the edging is too hard.

UT's night textures are far better

I did the same thing and did not like them.

I contacted Ronald, the owner and he emailed me the original textures.

Then I had to re-install my Ultimate Terrain.   :P

Because Ultimate Night does not come close to Ultimate terrain in terms of realism!

It boils down to some who like and some who dont.

As I stated, I found them a bit too bright and linear colorwise. A bit more than polished 18k gold at night would have been easier on the eyes to me, and like Dave said, which I agree with, I think UT adds better night lighting (though in some areas this one could be brighter)
