Nice shots...Outerra looks really amazing!

Why, Hello there.

[Steve.Wilson]

I think I've just seen a screenshot of the last echo one might ever hear.  One does not want to see a light at the end of that tunnel.

Zeos....do you have any way of measuring framerate with that polygon Godzilla onscreen?

Early morning at Stoumont

[seppen]

I did a testflight with these temp buildings 200 000 verts each group, smooth as silk.

Outerra is polygon Bonaza it seems

Relly nice pictures here!

We will have to put there some statistics to see how many triangles are in the scene. I think we have some counters in there already, but they don't count the generated geometry (like the grass) yet.

I think I passed 5 mill verts, the challenger tanks is 800 000 each, if could get my hotas working (G-940) I would test a bombing run he he.

Buildings ar smooth even if fly close up, ofcourse this will change with collision/physics, but very promising.

I have FRAPS running all the time. It doesn't work for recording outerra but occasionally the frame rate counter works. I don't think the drop was too much. I sit at a normal 30-35fps in the mountains and I dont think it dropped below 25 with it.

[cameni]

The problem with that tank isn't in the poly count, but the number of meshes and thus draw calls it requires. 11k is insane. Most of that time will be spent on the draw call overhead.

Knowing nothing about modeling.. Is that something that can be easily tweaked in a modeling program or is it the fundamental way the model was constructed?

You would have to do a lot of work I guess from the little I´ve looked at that model.
This one is 199 entities, 130 000 verts, spawed 30 of em, still ok framerate.
Might even be to mucho if rigged/physics, and many of them on screen moving.

Wow.. What looks like fabric over the wheels? I'm guessing just modeled fabric?

Yes it´s a simple smoothed mesh, I don´t think Outerra support tesslation yet on objects.

[murkz]

I see seppen, you get the same shadow bug appear the closer you get to the model. Closest Clanger, top of the skirt, under the rope.

Any idea how to stop that?
