Two screenshots from the same location like the previous ones but this time on ground with lovely sunset.

WOW! That's beautiful! :D
For sure using the bottom shot for my desktop! :cool:
-
Absolutely gorgeous, guys! Can't wait to see the Cessna flying into the sunset one day soon :)
-
O_o ... o_o ... o_O ... O_O ... ... *speechless*
"where is this? ...Is this real?" -Friend who walked in the room while I was viewing the thread.

Wonderful desktop images! Do you have a 1680x1050 version of the second one?
-
hmm, is says screen 1 million something... maybe give us some of the other screenshots? ;)

Having read all posts in the forums over the last couple of months, I decided that it was time to register in the forums.
I just looked at image #2 while listening track #15 (Solar Sailer) from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack on Spotify. Damn it felt like I was sitting atop the summit looking out over the fabulous landscape after a long hike up the mountain.
cameni and angrypig; keep up the excellent work!

NOW MAKE ME SOME CLOUDS!!
now that is all.

"Now gracing cshawnsmith's desktop wallpaper."
I can't stop looking at these two images. They're very powerful, not only for the engine itself, but also the beauty of the shots themselves.
Out of the number of fractal world engines I've looked at in the last year, these two shots have sealed the deal for me. I no longer care if I can do what I want to do with the engine. I just want to stand on the shore of some island get-a-way and watch the sunset! Don't care if it's a silent world. Don't care if all the trees are Pines. Don't care if Lake Lewisville is a dried up lake-bed, with no water. I've been staring at my desktop for the last half-hour, just in awe.
Guy's, you've out-done yourselves.
Thumbs up!

Now looking at an AWSOME atmospheric sunset...... "I want to Fly-Drive-Run-Hunt-Fish-Climb-Build-Fight-Die(virtually of course) & BE IN THAT LANDSCAPE....... Damnn I can imagine an "Age of Empires" type scenario where the landscape is un effected by human presence and the whole world is there for the advancement of a new model human civilisation.... just establishing the first community, city, road network, trade routes and so on.
Or... maybe an already advanced high tech human community arriving from space onto a new earth to begin again in... a virgin garden of eden....

Wallpaper +1!

I feel really sad for all of you. Because as much as you think you love these shots looking at them on your computers, I (with no ego) can safely say am the only person (probably on earth) to have seen them on a fully calibrated GDM-FW900.. and I can only describe the warmth and color and detail of these shots with my very limited vocabulary of F*** and S***..
-
I did discover that if you open the second image with GIMP and perform a simple Colours --> Auto --> White Balance
It returns a rather nice result...
-
Yup, that's something we need to add to the final processing, color mapping to reflect how human eye perceives white in different lighting conditions, especially in evenings.
And transitioning to B&W perception with low levels of light during nights.

Brilliant :lol:

Ok.
This is the point where I crap in my pants and I have to found my dropped jaws somewhere on the floor.
I can't find any suitable word.

So I asked a guy in my office if he knew where "I took this picture" referencing the 2nd shot above (GIMPified). He said he didn't know and then came closer to scrutinise (he being a bit of a photographer himself). I thought he'd realise, but he didn't!
He just said it must be some photo I got from the web of some valley.
I then proceeded to explain the Outerra way to him and showed him some space shots and the beach scene.
Of course he was suitably impressed.
Gotta love it!

I had a similar experience with a friend I sent a screenshot to. The only thing that gave it away was an errant tree hovering above the landscape (I think it was in one of the Cessna screens). In that second screenshot of the sunset, you can see a similar errant tree hovering, but only after close inspection. The average person probably wouldn't see it until it was pointed out. These shots are so realistic it's practically criminal that it's not a real photograph :)
And molnibalage, I think the suitable words for this is that Angrypig and Cameni should be charged with Crimes Against Humanity ... for not releasing a version of this engine before Dec 31st, 2010 :lol:
*Edit: Unless, of course, that will be their Christmas present to all of us :D . /sigh ... Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is Outerra. Can you please give Cameni and Angrypig some new toys to add and speed up the creation of this very beautiful engine? Thanks, and with love, C. Shawn Smith.

Can we see that GIMPified image? Be really interesting to see how realistic it is (and what you edited in the photo to make it look more realistic)

I don't like the darker look (mountain is a lot darker), but it's a lot less green which I like, a lot crisper.
-
Now THAT looks realistic! u3z05en and Shawn, try showing that picture to some people, it should fool them into thinking it's real!
-
Last picture is absolutely stunning! You definitely need to make some filter to have such graphics in the engine itself :)

Yup, that's the one I used! Worked like a charm! ;)

Now do that same shot with an Apache gunship in the distance and the tatra looking all bad-ass on the mountain..
That shot alone could sell a blind man on Outerra..
**I may edit in bikini babes too**

There really is no green on that hill, its brown dirt and trees out of direct sunlight.

Um.. That is from the engine? I imagine he modified the white balance of the game. I don't think it's in their nature to photoshop ANY of the screens from the game.
Here is the best shot of a sunset I have ever taken.. Weird it occurred in the Bronx.. (http://www2.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/7160179374b900d1986a5a1a503ca6d242675e6bc5aab0755cec8592a2c19f1f6g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=p8gwbxtp3el7erc&thumb=6)

I mean the atmosphere looked like it had quite a greenish haze.
Also, that sunset is unbelievable :) Where is that?

Will be nice if so. But by the exact position of the camera and the sun I thought that was GIMP or Photoshop. I can make the same for second picture easily:

grabacr 31770 asked to see the GIMPed version, sorry I didn't make it clear more that it was the GIMPed version he asked for.
We'll be implementing an algorithm like that, but not the way GIMP does it as that would require two passes - one to analyze the scene and the second one to mix the colors. We need an algorithm that uses the current atmospheric situation and lighting condition to produce a matrix for color mapping. I have yet to find the theory behind it. It's not just about white balance, the reaction of human eye is complex and adaptive.

I like what I see :D

The fact that you take that many things into consideration makes me think this engine is going to be awsome.
