Outerra Tech Demo download. Help with graphics driver issues
You mean a purely procedural terrain for artificial planets? We have our ideas there too, but we want to work on the real planets initially - it's more in line with our further plans. You are probably aware of Infinity who are doing artificial planets. Our approach would be different though - we want to generate continental plates, mountain ridges etc as a first step and then continue with procedural refinement in our usual manner.For the sources of terrain data look here.We aren't using Google Earth, rather we were showing embedded Google Maps synchronized with in-game camera. Otherwise no data from Google products were used.
I know vterrain as a source of links to terrain data, but can you say what dataset you actually use for outerra? I know it's 'recompiled' (can't find a better word) for outerra, but whats the actual base dataset? And do you stream it from your own servers or is it streamed from disc? If it's streamed from disc, daaaamn, that's a large download! if not, dannnggg your'e gonna need a huge server to stream it when the demo is released!
