above and beyond. Almost looks like it is low tide in Outerra. How would you clean up the shorelines procedurally? Looking at satellite images would probably be the easiest.

There are vector data for shorelines that should be somehow applied atop the raster data during preparation of the dataset. It will be needed to fix artifacts from raster data and those stray seashore lakes and inland running waves.

Thanks for the screenshots. Looks awesome.

The screenie is bit lower and more to the east than the photo. I wonder how it will look when the smaller resolution is done.

Do you know how hard it is to get a 51 frame gif under 10kb at a decent resolution?

Oooh... Interesting.  :P

Just curious, what do the deserts look like?  Like areas with big dunes?  I'm assuming the resolution isn't high enough to get anything more than maybe gradual hills where some of the higher data points are.  (I'm obviously not expecting sand yet.  :P)

Here's a screenshot from Sahara, together with the Google maps view:



Sand would be quite easy, but making the transition to savanna naturally looking is what's making it complex.

Yeah, I thought so.  So, are those actually dunes or (more) permanent elevation changes?  Can't really tell by the Google Maps pic.  :P

Hmm... There's more pine trees than I thought there would be in the middle of the desert.  It must be colder than I thought.  Maybe I should move there.  :lol:

Who knows. There's no dataset I know of that tells "here there be dunes". Satellite took a momentary elevation and off it went :)

haha lol I get that, but that wasn't exactly my point in a way.  So you blindly took a shot from somewhere in the Sahara right? (No offense.)  I was just wondering if you would have been able to confirm that there are actually dunes in this location if you had seen the google satellite picture version of the map or maybe some other source that confirmed that there are actually dunes there.   :lol:

I briefly tried myself using the browser Google maps to see the satellite pictures of the Sahara, but they didn't bother getting a decent quality there.

Yea, I just went there, found a place that might have dunes and made the screenshot.
But I think that even if these weren't dunes, the real ones will look similar in engine. With sand textures it should be ok, it's the rocky desert that will need more rocks and sharp stuff.

Hi, Brano!

I'm really looking forward for trying out the outerra engine and how is the outerra is coming along and how is the outerra is used exactly? Thanks!!

Could I request a SS for Innsbruck, Austria, looking west into the valley, maybe 2000 feet AGL?
Its a very challenging approach. There is also a steep cliffy looking mountain to the west on the north slope of the valley. Curious to see how the engine handles that.

Post the Lat-Lon cords or he won't do it. Best found on google earth first.
