I dont really understand... in June 2010 you guys had released some Star Destroyer screenshots that looked as good as this one... I remember one where there was this Star Destroyer and an Corellian Corvette in the same image... it was very photorealistic. Werent you already using normal mapping back then?
edit: ahh... I see... the previous model was ENTIRELLY modelled... all the little details! Now the little details are normal mapping!! NICE!
I dont really like it.
If you watch the hyperspace sequence of the Battle of Endor, you can see a few things:
1 - many more star lines, and they are shaded blue (because crafts approach lightspeed and thus everything in front should be bluish and in the back should be reddish)
2 - when the stars turn into lines, that means you are ALREADY close to lightspeed (300.000 km per second). That means any static object should be long gone from the screen, and nearby planets should zip past too
3 - same thing when you return from hyperspace. All those crafts appear and slow down (relative to you) while the stars are still lines!! Thats wrong! The stars should return to their normal appearance and ONLY THEN should you fastly approach objects in the area.
4 - the hyperspace itself (the nebula like tunnel) is AWESOME. Nothing to say about it but praise the effect.
