Wow. Can we get video tutorial how to do this? If we all pull together we can make whole earth.

36071 How's progress going on the 3D clouds? No progress since Summer, we are focused on 3D rings now. As you can see, atmospheric scattering does not affects clouds, this is why new scattering code is needed. scr00568.jpg scr00570.jpg scr00571.jpg Thank you so much for these screenshots. What do y...

I'm sorry for so long timw without updates. I lost a habit to post dev screenshots. And too lazy to write blog posts :) So, 3D rings. Working on it since August together with Duke. Completeness is 90%. This is raymarching, so rocks are not spawned/deleted, they are "generated" on the fly ...

Whats the deal with a water texture. My understanding is that water is generated as a plane that covers whole planet at specific height. Can you just replace that texture with a better one, that has waves and looks more realistic?

Slowly, but we making progress. We have prototypes of 3D rings, clouds, accretion disks, and many improvements for ships. But turning prototype to a release feature is a long path. Rings are closest to release, I except few months. It would be nice to see some screenshots of those prototypes. I've ...

How about seeing the effects of winds on trees and plants and other weather like snow and rain and lightning and thunder?

Outerra did that. It feels like you are really there. I have no doubt Space Engine will do the same in the future.

I had a mini heart attack thinking clouds are out lol. And now 3d rings!! My hype is through the roof!

I'm bumping this topic to restate the pretty uncontroversial opinions that tree-like organisms will likely arise on planets with abundant light and that implementing procedural trees would be cool and is within the realm of possibility. As cool as it would be to run a Species: ALRE  simulation for ...

Qr Bbpost Hey how's progress on those features you announced back in June?

They're coming along, beyond that not much can be said but there are some good things coming "soon".

Are you saying that there will be more new stuff "soon" other than volumetric clouds?

Is there any work on 3d water or this will come later?

OMG FINALLY 3D CLOUDS!!!

Found out what the problem was. It was one mod.

Ok, it's been 3 months since i can't play SE. Since Nvidia update procedural planets doesn't work. When will this be fixed??
