A few high and low altitude samples from a recently completed texture set taken very early, a bit after sunrise, on a hazy morning in France

I really gotta know, because I know your system is worth at least a few souls, what performance increase / decrease can we expect on mid-range systems, as opposed to default scenery?

there is no way to place a frame value on it... too many variables

Of course not, wouldn't expect it.

'Better' was all I was looking for.

Thanks :)

Nick, any thought of going the Poland area? I'm doin' lotsa flights there, and there's a ton of vegetation in the southern part of it.

Not just sharp textures.. dynamic adjusting color/contrast textures based on light, weather and distance



I learned well from good friends

Industrial Light and Magic does wonders with this kind of stuff. They have not worked with 1024 resolution since the 90's and what I am doing is using some of their low budget tricks I learned form friends who worked on some of the largest movie productions in the world. If I thought we could recuperate their artist services and mainframe time cost I would have them put the final ILM touch on them but that would probably cost in excess of 50,000

none the less I am sending my friends samples to advise on changes and thus far the results are just flat out jaw dropping even without their official services and just the "friendly" suggestions

:)

Nick, I swear, I've actually learned over 4 times about computers than what I knew 4 months ago because of you, your guides, and your work, and today, we had these "mathvertisements", and one of them had the geico gecko, and I turned around to see it, as I hadn't seen it before, and I was looking for mine, and I saw it and jumped in my desk, it was hilarious!

Just saying, you have my next paycheck with this  ;)
