Oh, terrain with many detail. Good work. In a Space Engine 1.2+, maybe we can see 3D plants (if no take many memory) .
Good continuation.

tridimentional textures coming soon... May in to the next version... may be...

Is anyone else seeing this one 'backwards'? The 'large stones' instead look to me like depressions in the ground.

Yep, but it's not broken, it's just an optical illusion

It is an optical illusion, as Hornblower noted. I experience this every time I look at Dawn images of Ceres:

I write a blog posts about everything I do. If I didn't wrote about finishing nebulae, this mean that they are not finished.

Beautiful update! Great work!
The old set of 128 textures with a low resolution of 256 x 256 is replaced by a new one with resolution of 1024 x 1024 (meanwhile I collected 4 dozens of free textures from different sources). Even with compression, one texture will take 5 MB of video memory (in fact, these are two textures – colors and normals with a displacement map in the alpha channel). A set of 64 compressed textures will take 320 MB, it is quite tolerable (256 pieces would take more that a gigabyte).
So the new texture sets will actually be easier on the graphics card than the current ones from 0.980?

)

No, the new textures will be much more demanding.

Ouch. 'Was afraid of that. :'(

Is there a measure (yet) of how much this will be in terms of VRAM? Will lower-end systems be able to switch to lower-quality textures through the options menu or will SE just not run/stutter constantly if you don't have enough graphics memory?
Born too early to explore space... but just in time for Space Engine!

It's hard to say but I suppose the LOD value will influence a lot more the performance. I guess if you put it to the lowest level you'll have an acceptable performance even if you have very little VRAM
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.

As SpaceEngineer already said in his blog post, the new textures will take up 320MB of memory. It will also be possible to disable detail textures to improve performance, though a low-res option has not been implemented yet.
