It's just a test model to help him calibrate the PBR. Also there to show the results of the PBR which are quite nice indeed.

Wow 3 blog posts in a single week, that's impressive!
Thanks SpaceEngineer for all you've given to us with SpaceEngine.

I see, that does make sense, thanks for answering that question. I guess it would have to be a separate shader then, which makes more sense anyway considering they're two very different things.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).
Also, I agree with Canleskis - so great to have these frequent updates (three in a week is pretty awesome), thanks SpaceEngineer!

Oh my word! This is going to be the most beautiful update to space engine ever

Nice but a question : You said the detail texture is related with the color texture view in space (green : grass and forest, yellow : sand,...) but if by example in a custom or procedural planet is possible to have grass and forest with different color other green (blue by example) (detail texture) ?

Sure it will, for a custom planet I guess we'll have to create a custom detail texture or choose from a library of user-made ones. For procedural planets the program itself could choose, based on colors calculated by terrain generation.

Can't wait to try out this Overview thing on my Rift.
Sounds amazing.

Very good new feature!
Will we be able to set an orbit for spaceship or Space Station thanks to the script?
