Cool vehicle, too bad Anteworld does not simulate loss of color the deeper you go..

(If you are not too annoying: the lights that work underwater are complicated? Can we hope for soon?)

Hopefully I'm not annoying :)

Some quick hacks will possibly work, probably not with all correct color attenuation yet. Ideally we'd like to make the ocean rendering deferred, so I don't want to spend too much time on the existing version. Deferred will be needed also for enhanced waves, and to get rid of some ugly hacks there.

 ... you plan some hydrodynamics too ? I mean, when weather is brought to perfection, it would be interesting, if muddy-water would be dragged along currents and sediment in peacefull ones, whyte all the light-distribution stuff bound whyte coloidic fluids. Imagine even a tool, just like that crater-gun, but pouring some collor-liqiud, witch you would be able to collor the water (such things could be interesting if someone would try to do an tanker oil-spill)

We are still undeveloped as long as we don´t realize, that all our science is still descriptive, and than beyond that description lies a whole new world we just haven´t even started to fully understand.

Which brings up another point I've been wondering about. Is the current lighting deferred? I've been curious about the FPS hits some of the lights can cause.

It seems like 2 or 3 4runners side by side would be in danger of just about crashing the sim!

Which would not bode well for the type of fancy lighting shown in the video I posted.

The program looks interesting.  8)
I remain patient and confident expectation.
Thanks Cameni.

Lighting is tiled forward, but it's not yet fully optimized. Also, given how people are adding lights, we'll have to make them fade faster than it would be realistic, to reduce their range and complexity.

Is the use of tile forward lighting why you aren't casting shadows with them, yet?

Thanks of appreciation, tknudsen  :)

But ... it seems to me that instead Outerra simulates quite well the loss of color with depth ... everything becomes increasingly blue and then black.
Indeed, the absorption of the colors in the water is a parameter that can be adjusted between those acting in the "Environment Setting" of Anteworld.

Do not get confused with the bright color of the submarine: it remains so, indeed, it seems that increases in intensity over the sea turns black, why is forcibly lit by the lights that he has.

I restored the operation of the SUB SPHERE and I added some features to make it more complete and engaging.
To learn new drive commands: read the Manual in the Help folder.

Have fun and happy diving !!!

Download SUB SPHERE Ver 2.0 (the usual):
