Does the frigate sport fancy spec maps?

Does the frigate sport fancy spec maps?

 

I'm inclined to say yes. Look at the stack, masts and deck. It also appears to be bump-mapped.

 

As for the terrain, now, that's a proper water shader! I wonder if they're using a different one for inland waters?

makes a lot of difference, ain't?

 

also the terran given it's far away from the TF, seems to have much higher heightmap resolution

my quick Google Earth analysis:

will TK use GE to create maps on his game?

Only to draw screenshots. The entire terrain will be a TOD composed of many photos.

3D Studio was mentioned on several occasions

[+SkateZilla 49]

Tessellation????

[+PureBlue 71]

Great comparison shot Stary!

That just shows how much more height AND tile resolution the new engine has, rather than the 1x1km height and 2x2km tile rez we have now.

I just can't stop looking at these screens, very exciting!!

[+SkateZilla 49]

i wonder if the rex is exclusive to iceland or we can make new terrains at that res....

 

like hawaii or japan, that way we can still have alot of water..
