Morning

Looks very nice..

Good lighting.

 

The new trees definitely seem "interesting" - SpeedTree trees seem quite a bit less defined to me, no?  Almost like the branches/detail areas are more like "blobs" of color or something?  (Struggling for correct definition)

 

All good - Just an observation on them being different - view in distance is SO much nicer now.

Dang that's some beautiful lighting! Looks great!

Like the lighting... wondering if the amount (or number) of trees and vegetation is the same with the update vs. the old version.

Those were taken on LOD 2 which is the default.  For higher spec machines it will go up to 6

One day the rough will look more like rough and you and I will be laughing about this...  :-)

I'm sure we will. Below is one small example of the look in the soon to be released update. I think that you have to agree it is much improved. Probably still not up to your DX11 and 4K standards, but not bad.

Just cant wait to get hands on the new version!

Well, since my computer is held together by band-aids haha (inside joke), the sky looks just a tad too blue...

That's because one or more your 'band aids' is blocking the light. Geez Louse, do I have explain everything to you.

Well... maybe next week I guess.  

Glad to be going away for the weekend so I'm not counting the days until the update.

When exactly are you leaving. The only reason I ask is so that I make sure that Andrew releases the update 5 minutes after you leave.

That would actually be perfect as I would like to have lots of threads to go through in the forum after several days of commentary about the update...

But Geez Louise, you know that none of them will address 3D grass or 4k resolution. Do you really want to dig through all the stuff of no interest.

Absolutely!

 

I love wading through complaints like "it doesn't run well on my Core 2 Duo laptop" and "why is the FPS so low...I have a modern 3DFX VooDoo card...why it no play good?"
