They aren't floating, but the trunks are made invisible by the antialiasing method used (FXAA).
FXAA is cheap and good with the contours, but it doesn't handle the trunks that well at that critical distance where they are 1-2 pixels wide and visible against the sky.

We wondered who will notice :)

Those trunks at this distance are smaller than a pixel, in this case the FXAA is not able to improve anything in current implementation. This will be improved with combination of MSAA and FXAA or another technique that can resolve a sub-pixel information.

That's what we want to know. Appears that prefix is so ancient that English speakers don't recognize it anymore. Not sure if that's good or bad :)

Oh, and there is a new website....  almost there.   ;)

It's "before our world" basically isn't it?

Yes. With ante- being Latin prefix for prior to in time or in front of in space. So, before our world is good, or ancestors'/antecessors' world.
It also kind of fits the idea of bringing up the Earth as it was before civilization, and it also fits the storyline of the game ...

Besides, surely because of the ancient obsolete prefix, it was one of very few domain names available that are short, don't pronounce too awkwardly and still bear some relation to the game and the world ;)

Needs some getting used to though.

Wait.. What new website? What name change?

Did I miss a post somewhere?

EDIT: I see it now.. The name in the corner of the screenshot. I doubt that he is removing the name Outerra from THE ENGINE.. but the game is going to need a name that isn't the name of the engine. Don't want to get on the CryEngine - Crysis/Farcry , Source - HL1-Source, CsSource Bandwagon.

Anteworld definitely doesn't translate to any American easily. All your going to get is Anti- or literally..
