Title: Development screen shots and videos
Post by: cameni on June 18, 2010, 05:36:28 pm
We decided to create this forum where we want to post various screen shots of stuff we are working on. This should be updated more often with any interesting tidbits we manage to create along the way, that do not get posted anywhere else. Since making videos is so easy from the engine, this forum will also contain various short video segments.

Awesome!  :)

Great idea making this catagory!  I'm looking forward to reading frequent updates no matter how big they are.

EDIT:  You're going to post these updates on MODDB right?

Wonderful idea for keeping us aware of new videos and screenshots! :D

We will be posting only the media - the videos and screenshots, but not news articles.

Oh ok.  The cab video is showing up on MODDB now.  :)

BTW, I noticed that only the last three videos in the video section of MODDB are showing up now.  I remember seeing all of the older videos up there before but now they're gone.

No, there were only the embedded youtube videos in news articles. But after I submitted the road editing video, admin uploaded that video to ModDB. So I started uploading them too :)

Post by: Abc94 on June 26, 2010, 12:01:07 pm
I think it's a good idea to also put the images from here on MODDB (except maybe the crazy road picture :)) since I think there are a lot of people who are interested in Outerra that don't look on these fourms for updates.

Plus each time there is an update Outerra is moved to the top of the list in it's catagory.

Thought I'd do a real world vs Outerra comparison for a picture I had.  Will look even better when rivers are in!  Also, this is in northern Idaho(48.87149,-116.335602 facing NW).  The mountains in the back right are in BC Canada.

Still no river data being used it seems. In GIS we had a nice system were you just define data types bases on colours/tones and or traced in on a 2d map the landscape features which then you could translate to 3d quite easily.

Something i came out with by playing around with the environment settings in the demo  :) this happened accidentally when I turned all the atmospheric scattering sliders (or whatever they are called^^) down to zero. I was quite amazed - this is, what our sky would look like, once we got rid of our nice atmosphere... remembers me of the moon  ;)

Outerra Shenanigans (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHQdllTxGfI#ws)

I'm not really sure if this is the right topic, but I made a silly video of me ramping the truck off the side of the Grand Canyon. It's also set to "The Final Countdown" by Europe for extra silliness!

My only regret is that Sony Vegas wouldn't render it in anything other than .wmv, so it's not very high quality.

I approve of this use of outerra. Now if only the center of gravity on the truck wasn't 75 feet below it. It might barrel roll correctly.

Check your render settings.  I use Vegas for my video editing, and have no issues rendering in 1080p.  Your Render As setting should be Sony AVC.  That'll put you in an mp4 as a file save, and have the necessary drop-downs for the resolution to get you the higher quality.

it would be great to see some new work in progress screenshots/videos. It seems that this thread has been used for random user pictures/video posts (which are eye catching) and not development shots. It would be great to just see developmental shots as per the thread title.

Myself like much more the mystic from middle earth, then that wargame stuff. Unfortunately the real life impresses the common run of mankind much more for war stuff then for the mystic of life.

An aircraft that has lived up to its name and design. A tribute video including the Mig-29 technical specification and also portraying how this workhorse played in the field. Actually there are two separate segments of the video depicting real life events as a US military pilot and you will hear that being played out in the video just to give the idea your in the cockpit experiencing the nerve racking scenarios. One segment is a SAM attack and the other is another attack that has damaged the aircraft's engine #2 causing some undesirable circumstances.

Once again, enjoy!

Obviously virtual. The hill/rock in the background doesn't look like it formed naturally. The waves also don't realistically blend with the beach.

Nice video! But the only person I remember who was doing custom trees was Pico, I think.

Anyway, here is my own short test video. I was surprised that the recorder didn't stutter at all till just before the end. I hope they "fix" that one day. I really wonder what Outerra would be like on an SSD.

In the meanwhile, here's one for you, Acetone!

Its good progress indeed.

One thing I have been wondering lately and is likely something developer can only answer, is are you guys planning to use more optimized API such as Mantle or even OpenGL NG (when its out)?

Here is article on OpenGL NG however it seems to be a long way off, Mantle is here now and might be worth tossing in as a option for AMD users?
http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/187796-opengl-4-5-released-next-gen-opengl-unveiled-cross-platform-mantle-killer-dx12-competitor (http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/187796-opengl-4-5-released-next-gen-opengl-unveiled-cross-platform-mantle-killer-dx12-competitor)

I understand these API have bugs but after looking at other games that have opengl vs directx renderers and noticing that OpenGL has been around 30-50% slower in those cases, I just wonder if you guys could squeeze out more performance by adding support for some better API?

One thing I have been wondering lately and is likely something developer can only answer, is are you guys planning to use more optimized API such as Mantle or even OpenGL NG (when its out)?
We have always been using OpenGL "AZDO" (http://www.slideshare.net/CassEveritt/approaching-zero-driver-overhead) techniques, Mantle would not be such a great benefit for OT. Here's an earlier discussion about it: http://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=2503.msg26496#msg26496 (http://forum.outerra.com/index.php?topic=2503.msg26496#msg26496)

More low level control that's a part of the planned OpenGL NG will be always better. But IMO, Mantle would not be worth the effort. It's benefiting mainly for devs who are currently using DirectX with its high draw call overhead, but also those who ported it into OpenGL naively, often resulting in a lower performance.

It's a nice video of realistic cessna ride with take off and landing.

You're lucky that it didn't stutter, you have a warning half way in the video. Also the video is limited to 720p, did you set it up that way?  When i send mine, youtube makes versions up to 1440p though there's no noticable difference between 1080p and 1440p.

Yes I set it up that way. It's part of my anti-stutter testing.  ;D

One of the things we've been assuming about stutter is that our HD's were not fast enough, but another possibility is a memory issue (which can cause visible stutter while flying in X-plane) and I was testing that by reducing the resolution a bit while recording.

Essentially I'm throwing things at the wall to see what will stick.

And I think the warning was mostly about a missing scenery object.

I tested the sandisk extreme 64gig usb3 stick and it's not fast enough, not even close. I dont know the throughput these video recording demands... So now i'm using dimmdrive, a ramdisk program. I set it to 20-24 gig so i can make a max 8 min video.

Throughput for FullHD (uncompressed) is 1920x1080xYUV420 = 1920*1080*1.5*30 = 93,312,000 B/s. LZ4 frame compression usually halves it to around 50 MBps

Typical hard disks have an average write speeds of 80-110 MBps in tests, but that's when nothing interrupts it.
Modern SSD disks have around 400 MBps sustained write speeds.
Sandisk Extreme 64GB usb3 seems to be around 100 MBps, not bad for a stick, but it's only on the hard disk level.

Looking at the numbers, apparently Windows caching is limiting the reachable throughput. I thought I would have to implement additional compression there, but now I see that just switching to raw disk access could help too ...

Of course choosing a different ratio is totally up to you as director :).
The wider ratio seems very fitting for these beautiful landscapes.

I merely think it would look more natural if you cropped it vertically, instead of stretching it horizontally.

Inland lakes are possible as long as the alt is below sea level... therefore it's got to be possible to trick the system into thinking that this piece of land has metadata that says it's height is below sea level and initiate the water code..

The dead sea is below sea level....at the moment, any area at or below sea level is rendered as water. Inland water (lakes) is coming, but it's not there yet.

Yup. Just saying that two tall buildings and a big airplane is a sensitive subject for many people around the world, and people can get excited without offering you a chance to clarify things.

Just to show how some feel, I was in New York this summer as a large plane came very low over the city. I didn't think a thing about it and was talking to a friend, when I suddenly realized something was wrong. Looking around, I saw that everyone in sight: hundreds of people on both sides of the street as far as the eye could see had stopped and were frozen in place, looking up.

It was the first time I realized just how deeply traumatized the whole city was, even though 99% of the time you would never guess it.

Moving on........

Images of bombs or missiles made in USA killing people in videogames can be a a sensitive subject for many people around the world, too. WTC is no the only place where people had suffered an attack. Many children in Iraq or Afghanistan suffer worse effects than NY people, for example, but we are not so "sensitive" about that.

At least, USA is not the center of the world. they dont deserve special treatments as no other does. I get your point, but its going to be the same as #jesuischarlie. The picture shows a plane and skyscrapers. Many pictures do that. If someone is offended by that, he is small minded. Not traumatized. If the picture creator says its not offensive and has nothing to do with WTC, than you (i dont mean someone special (hiflyer) but the audience in general) have to accept that. Further discussions have to be considered as trolling. In german there is a wise proverb:

"I am responsible for what i was saying - not what you understood."
That also applies to other created content like books, pictures and videos.

Oh I played plenty of that before the official launch.  Didn't it reach over 1000 players or almost 1000 at once?

But since they chose not the keep the official server running after launch, you aren't going to get that anymore.

aWac9 do You think You could move your non-development screenshots and videos to another thread? I keep visiting this one and getting constantly disappointed that there's actually nothing new shown.

Definitely a step in the right direction, much more realistic. But probably no "Anteworld", rather a "men's world".
When will we see our data updated?

Should be released soon, but first I must fix a few bugs not featured on these screenshots :)

In case you are tempted by the latest Nvidia driver, it's apparently a good opportunity if you like abstract art:

New Nvidia drivers (384.xx) broke our road/river rendering, but it also does these magic terrain material blends (yellow road paint there).

Lakes!

First phase of getting lakes into #outerra - using a global water mask to form the lake beds. Also able to use lake bathymetry if available

Quote
These algorithmically created lake beds are close to the sea level and they fill with sea water.

Obviously the algo needs more work, sometimes it produces lake beds that are way too deep though interesting

It also interferes with existing rivers and temporary lakes created from rivers.

Following the recommendations of Jagerbomber we have visited Akureyri - Iceland, really beautiful, and really no trees are seen ... that aspect will have to be improved.

Seems satellites do not really detect any vegetation there.
Here's for example the global forest change https://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest

Unfortunately also https://s2maps.eu/ data, which we used for Earth8, do not show any reliable way of detecting trees there.

Greetings Cameni
The color is confusing, from above they look like land without trees, at ground level, they are there.

Looks more like shrubs. But anyway, we cannot go around the world looking for trees and then planting them manually :)
We need a way to identify them from satellite data, which is usually done with the help of additional infrared satellite channels.

Also, the Global Forest data are defined only for trees higher than 5m, so it may have problems detecting those.

I'm not completely certain of the exact location in Iceland, but somebody posted some Iceland pictures that look like where I drove through in Outerra a year ago this month:
Route/Highway 1 West of Akureyri maybe?  The low sun lined up with the canyon with clouds and godrays and looked astonishing in Outerra.

I think that this image corresponds to the Snaellsjökull glacier / volcano of 1446m .. it is a mysterious place, it is said that at the top (felliskros) (Sneffeles of 5000feet high), the Elves live.
that volcano was the one that inspired Jules Verne in 1864 for his novel .. "journey to the center of the earth" where through its crater (Snaellsjökull) a journey began where he would encounter creatures and difficulties.
It is a beautiful place, full of energy, great for hiking.
