New atmosphere shader and other effects
Post a comment
Description
This is simple footage recorded in the Empire at War map editor, showing the Onderon space map. In it, you'll see not only a new shader applied to the planet and moon's atmospheres, but new cloud effects (layered, to achieve parallax) including cast shadows onto the planet's surface. The idea was inspired by looking at photos of earth from the ISS, and trying to mimic that looks as close as possible in the old Alamo game engine.
It looks much better in a video than screenshot.
Looks really REALLY good. I love how the water looks on the planet and I can't wait for the release.
It looks even better thanks to that tip about normal maps. No more jagged shore lines where the normal mapping goes from smooth water to rough land!
This looks incredible. I also love the comet flying by at 00:30.
Thanks, just added it as a really rare particle effect on the starfield mesh
So awesome! God this mod looks brilliant! I kind of feel like the movement of the clouds ought to be a little slower though.
Agreed. Believe it or not though, the value is already at 0.001 for speed. I can't make them much slower.
This no longer looks like eaw, amazing, I would have never imagined a game from 12 years ago could look this beautiful.
It looks so good, it's so high quality that I have to ask; Will there be Lootboxes? Lol.
You invest a lot of work and passion in your project. I love it. Keep it up.
You magnificient bastard. Well done. Really well done.
