I thought it would be nice to start a thread with some inspiration for the devs. Nice pictures of nature and landscapes that we think Outerra should eventually look like

Here's one:

NASA | From the Cockpit: The Best of IceBridge Arctic '13

By the way how do I embed videos in the forum? Solved

Really nice video!

I better understand why Cameni said he have difficulties to make a multi-level world cloud coverage, in real time. This is so much massive and full of details...

How about this? Its the hugest color map of earth I've ever seen. I had fun zooming in trying to resolve it to individual pixels. Files are absolutely Ginormous! 

Largest file is nearly 400 megs!

In the downloads section you will also find road data, train data, border data.......
It's a treasure trove!

Those arctic pilots have my respect there - not much a safe airspace up there. Also, that Syuz photo has a something special, that would be nice in OT - those half-planet stretched cloud shadows in combination whyte atmospheric effects of the near downed sun. Remember to seeing one short vid (newer seen it again afterwards - was a long time ago too) where some russian craft in space was crossing to the dark side of earth and showed, how before it gone there, crossed an cloud-shadow - that is really THE EPIC lighting effect.

Space station photo is lovely, makes me wonder what happened to Outerra's old ISS model? It's gone now

The way the physics work, at least at the moment, it probably fell out of orbit.

 And into the Pacific ocean 

Well, at least we still have our trusty space destroyer Burke, patrolling the cosmic ocean

Right next to the Space Battleship Yamato..........

Maybe Outerra will have massive space battles one day. (And we need caves to fly through!!!)

... youre sure you dont need the GPS ? Navigating whyte just a map and trammels is hard and im not sure about that mine-looking and constantly peeping thingy called "CCCP" were hitting all the time. ... it could get the gods angry.   .... i dont like that kraken guy, they keep sending, hugging me.

That's no sputnik, it's a space mine!

Found some particle effect references.

I downloaded the free version of Vue and played a bit with it. Extremely slow, but quite amazing results. Of course nothing realtime, but for inspiration Vue uses procedural terrain and "ecosystems" that populate areas with plants et.c. I guess that's a bit like Outerra works.
(This is not my work, just a sample someone uploaded to youtube)
