SpaceEngineer your work is admirable congratulations!..

So there's going to be walking around? Just how interactive will this be?

I am also glad that the project is finally getting some recognition.

I like the Christmas update on the continued work on terrain.

Nice work. Beautiful effect and nice damage effect (is the begin).
Good work and continuation.

Woah, that's beautiful! Great work as always!

Will there be options to switch between high quality and low quality, like with the Warp, BH, and Aurorae settings?

The new PBR rendering looks really good! I wonder if it could work on more things than just ships - possibly something similar could be applied to water to give it proper reflections? 

Also, it's great to know that the main menu is now fully customizable. It's my dream at some point for all of the GUI to be totally customizable like that! (I'm guessing that would be hard to implement though)

Will this effect be used on the ocean's shader?

I hope so. This effect should be used on ocean shader to make water reflective.

No, it can't. This method relies on an environment map (aka skybox), this mean that object must be small compared to the environment. Water itself is a part of environment, how would you render a skybox for it? Water reflections are implemented by other methods (a second pass with a mirrored camera, or a screen-space reflections).

So SE is going to use the metalness workflow. Do you think the sacrifice of dielectrics reflectivity control is worth the reduced texture size? Also, do dielectrics use the standard 4% reflectivity?

Reflections not use the light-map of another object near this yet, right?

All this is still in experiment stage.

SE doesn't have light maps. And no, ships does not reflect each other, nor their own parts. Don't expect ability to make an infinite mirror corridor.

So ships are invisible if looking at them in the reflection of something shiny?

The PBR rendering sounds very interesting. I am not sure why a gun called Cerberus would make it into Space Engine. What does guns have to do with Space Engine? I don't understand.
