About time they got rid of those dumb billboard planets/moons. Looks nice. Now it's around the same standard as X3 planets, or Infinity planets (but the latter you can fly down to, in theory, eventually, if the game ever gets released).

because the new nebual system won't be a backdrop t will be a real time stellar map of the whole universe with static nebula.
Meaning if you see jita to the north, and there is a big blue nebual near it. it will get bigger as you get more and more jumps closer to jita.
so finding a system with lots of black will be your job instead. DB Preacher - "We command your game now. As long as you remain in GoonSwarm, we make you play our way..." wtf is wrong with you? |

An MMO has to calculate with performance issues on both server and client side. So actually its a great achievement to bring in the same quality you show with minimal performance loss.
I'm pretty sure the CG artists and programmers at CCP could make photorealistic graphics that would make us all walk in dippers for a long time, but we would all drop to 1 frame per hour

you, sir, are getting it all wrong. X3 does it with a "picture" (and its not even always that nice), EVE has real procedurally generated objects, as explained on fanfest. Its not even a matter of computer/server power, its a matter of making tausands of different planets actually look different. CCP did it, and if they expand on this technology one day they maybe even generate the planet surface in nice detail (like infinity plans to do) for us to fly down, land...whatever.

Slightly adjusted for additional sentiments, but defintely in agreement.
A year from now, people will be going 'remember when...', and the old nebula backgrounds will be Eve lore. Have to admit, I'll miss the nebula in Kaira. It always did look forboding before jumping into A2.

Well, a friend of mine once explained that stars "twinkle" because they're smaller than our eyes can perceive them. They're basically point sources, so we only see them occasionally, when our rods and cones can catch them. Of course an atmosphere doesn't help. But they could still "twinkle" when in space.
I'm just saying.

Looking great so far.
But the central sun in the solar systems is still far to bright.
From 30+ AU the sun should be very small only and not like a huge ball of fire. And from 100+ AU the sun shouldn't be more than a small point in the sky!
The light distribution throughout the solar system is far from the central sun to constant! The core area should be much brighter and the outer space should be much darker. So that you really get a feeling of the space!

Eh, Infinity does that, yes. I don't know about X3, at least I know it renders them in 3D, whether they are pre-designed or not (when you say "picture", you mean 3d textured model, rather than single texture billboard, as Eve used to do or does at the moment [texture imposters]). Whatever the new technique is, it's far, far better than the existing one. The only problem is you can't fly down to them, as you can/could/possibly will be able to in Infinity!
It's about time I got something worthy of my 1Gb 4890, even with 3 clients running ;).

Off course they are harnessing most recent quantum computing rocket science technology for this insanely complex and complicated task - or maybe they just borrowed the "tech" from microsofts "starfield"-screensaver ??

Might be because Caldari Prime is an almost uninhabitable piece of crap, and that any planet with oceans will have a significant cloud cover. So they might just be temporarily covered by clouds. ---- The Demigodess with a Conscience - An EVE IC Blog |

Well good job on not staying up to date. At Fanfest they clearly said that planets are now procedurally generated, and therefore they need only apply one bit of code and all planets will render in a new shape. The prime planets probably got some handcrafty lurve, since they are "special". ---- The Demigodess with a Conscience - An EVE IC Blog |

WTF? They still twinkle? Read a damn astronomy book!
What do you mean? Are you suggesting that in space stars won't 'twinkle' ? That effect is caused by asteroids and junk moving between you and the star...so it makes sense to me that you'd still see some twinkling in space.
I myself have never been to space so I don't know what i'm talking about.

Twinkling only happens when looking at stars from a planet with an atmosphere....

Even massive planets moving in front of distant starts are undetectable to anything but the most sensitive instruments. Atmosphere creates twinkling, but I think CCP states the camera lens causes twinkle as well. That might not be true, but we do manage to cross star systems in 3 seconds, so I think we can let it slide.

The stars look very good, and this would improve when the old nebula textures are removed.
I wonder is CCP would consider removing the 'fisheye lens' effect? At lease for the wide-screen resolutions. The stretching at the screen edges makes for ugly scenery. ...

Wow. That is sooo... 1980 ??
Off course they are harnessing most recent quantum computing rocket science technology for this insanely complex and complicated task - or maybe they just borrowed the "tech" from microsofts "starfield"-screensaver ??

You hardly notice the twinkling now, they actually have it right now. _________________

From 30+ AU the sun should be very small only and not like a huge ball of fire. And from 100+ AU the sun shouldn't be more than a small point in the sky!
Well .. who says that New Eden AU is our AU at all? I guess that one terra AU might actually be 100 New Eden AU's because most of planets there seems habitable and thus falls in "green zone" in solarsystem.

In their defence... space in the vicinity of where we play is so full of nebulae that you may as well be looking through an atmosphere... so maybe twinkling is not all that unexpected or incorrect.

Another reason for the twinkles in the video is that it's kind of hard to video compress a star field without twinkling artifacts.

Every physics/astronomy student knows this, plus a lot of amateurs too. Yes, you should have a healthy of skepticism towards wikipedia articles, but this isn't one of them. Googling to cross reference easily turns up the same info from NASA, ESA, JPL, astronomy department of Harvard and Berkely, etc.

But the central sun in the solar systems is still far to bright.
From 30+ AU the sun should be very small only and not like a huge ball of fire. And from 100+ AU the sun shouldn't be more than a small point in the sky!
The light distribution throughout the solar system is far from the central sun to constant! The core area should be much brighter and the outer space should be much darker. So that you really get a feeling of the space!
signed, this really ought to be done, I mean, how awesome would it be to get way out into the black edges of a system for a mission, with the only illumination coming from the stars, the lights on your ship, and the glitter of your guns.

Couldn't agree more. It is one of the few features of EvE that I never understood. That along with an exhaggerated existance of nebulea, but that's another story...

What's even more fun is that often the articles on Wikipedia are sourced (haven't checked that one) from legitimate sources, so you can actually trust what's on there.
Of course, you must always be careful with any information you read, but just because it's on an open site like Wikipedia doesn't mean it's not accurate, you gotta use your brain a bit to figure this out though.
