Hi, good job for this update, however i have a question... how can i put the smoke on the land, what is the key for it ?

Shift + LMB

[Unsurt]

Thanks, but when i put smoke my fps drop to 1fps !! I have a Nvidia GPU.

[John514]

This is a current issue and will be resolved in the versions to follow...(I think!)

[cameni]

i saw on youtube it is shift+mouse button, but wow i have a nvidia gtx 780 and when i put a smoke, my fps drop to 1 frame per second !!!!!

Nvidia cards falls back into sw emulation mode because the smoke is using an internal texture format and mode that's not supported on Nvidia. But the smoke is just an experimental thing that wasn't even announced, it can be broken anytime

[bugsblake]

when an update comes out, always scroll up the page here till you see cameni's "update post" then you will see this bug has already been reported by many! if you dont see your bug/problem reported, then post!

I would suggest not activating the smoke for the time being. It looks to be in pre alpha state so hold off until it is officially announced.

Hi, might i ask what has changed to the colours during the last updates? especially sunset and dawn looked beatiful before but now the water has really strange colours and i cant get it right with the settings.


a solution for this?

[Midviki]

Yep... it seems strange, between some hours the sun disappears.

But you must know... maybe they didn't even developed that yet, they might have other priorities.
Probably they will develop it when they will make the clouds, weather and fix the sky for night and day.

But for now... At least for now you have Light!!... Right?

There was a change to water scattering parameters to match the real ones more closely, but this seems as if your environment settings were way off. Please go to the env settings dialog and try to reset the settings for water - is this what you get?

Btw how are you making the screenshots? If you press F8 you'll get them created in OT and the images will have stored GPS coordinates. I wanted to jump to that location, but seems the GPS tags were removed.

[adriaan]

i already did the reset(i always prefer default). yeah i did use the outerra screenshot function.i uploaded them to imgur maybe that's why the coordinates are gone. its just near Rio De Janeiro.

btw the big rock in the middle of the bay of Rio isn't there. possible to put it there using outerra rocks?
thanks a lot

[cameni]

It will be possible later with the vector tools. Shape of those random rocks can't be controlled much, but with the vector modifiers it should be possible to model it.

[Midviki]

The reset of the settings has nothing to do with that Cameni.
Nor the GPS coordinates.


Anywhere on the planet facing the sunset over the ocean.Between time 16:00+ till almost sunset, the "ozone" blocks the vision of the sun, and only the reflection it is seen.The same thing happens to me as well.

But basically... I think it is more complicated than what we see... I mean that you probably need to view the sunset from a helicopter or plane or something in real life to understand how does that reflection work.And take pictures of it of course.Or find a YouTube video.

You will figure it out when you get to developing skies, clouds, ozone.



From what I see... for now... I can just say that the "ozone" is just to "thick". 

[John514]

Lets pollute then!

[cameni]

Oh I found it. I accidentally left a piece of debug code there, that altered the white balance computation

[adriaan]

that's what changed the water?
