Oolite Bulletins

Here are some more screenies from today's test run of the experimental atmospheres (with some combat in the mix).

Holy fish-paste sandwiches!

They look great!

Oh, wow! A_C those shots are amazing!

These are fantastic. The third one, with the sun, the thin planetary crescent, and the Cobra's cockpit lights is pure art, and would make a splendid wallpaper …

It seems that at last we are getting there!

WHOA!!!

Lovely atmosphere effects on rocky planets - should/do gas giants exhibit the same effect? Opinions? Any astro-boffins about?

Man...
Somehow my oolite seems to look a bit different than the screenshots shown here






but i like this thread

That new shader looks terrific Fantastic screenshot Cody.

A gas giant (Cerianon) with the experimental atmosphere shader:

What is still 'experimental' about the shader? I say its approved .
Edited to add. And is this new shader in the current trunk versions?

<grins> It doesn't look right on some planets - needs tuning. No, not in trunk.

The detail on that Krait - the metal plating, the flaking paintwork, the red-hot cannon - is superb!
