Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2009.10.29 14:04:00 - [31] Originally by: Amerilia Originally by: Tippia Originally by: Gieron Originally by: mechtech I just had to click through 20 more of those damn CCP "trojan warning" pages. Can we please have an option to turn this off! Firefox, Greasemonkey, this script …works in Opera too. where do I add the script in opera though?

Kruvya	Posted - 2009.10.29 14:18:00 - [32] They look good; but they make the ships (in comparison) look stale. Needs balancing.
Alhambra Trellane Harbingers of Chaos Inc.	Posted - 2009.10.29 14:19:00 - [33] My god, they are freaking awesome. And you can SEE the atmospheric envelope on some planets! Whoever did that one deserves an exotic dancer. Honestly, I've always considered planets as warp-in points only, but with graphics like that I'm gonna start wondering what's going on down there...and how long before I can fly down and see for myself! Gorgeous CCP!

Serge Bastana Gallente GWA Corp	Posted - 2009.10.29 15:05:00 - [35] I found if you set your client shadows setting to anything less than High the lovely planet effects vanish leaving you with a blue ball. Wonder if that's just while they're getting them set up or if it's going to be the way you see them with medium or low shadows on TQ. The are looking much much better now, and the star field is noticeably more impressive too. ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag. Nobody round here is offering the second one therefore your choices are limited!
Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2009.10.29 16:06:00 - [36] Look awesome. Been hoping for really BIG planets for a long time. That day seems to have come! Question though: As you get really close to the planet do you bounce off or just "pop" through to the other side? Definitely hoping for a bounce off effect. Not perfect but helps a lot with immersion letting you feel it is really there and not just a graphic. Doubtless we will still warp through them but that's ok(ish). -------------------------------------------------- "Of course," said my grandfather, pulling a gun from his belt as he stepped from the Time Machine, "there's no paradox if I shoot you!"
Saartje Sarel	Posted - 2009.10.29 16:09:00 - [37] They are in danger of looking too good tbh. They make everything else show up for what it is - pretty low quality textures. Especially ships.
JeanMichel Bizarre Wrong Indeed	Posted - 2009.10.29 16:14:00 - [38] I don't know how you get so close to planets, but warp-to-zero is always leaving me at roughly 5000kms away. Then there's this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC6umiqm3gY and the dude gets in real flipping close. How come? ------

Reicine Ceer	Posted - 2009.10.29 18:05:00 - [40] i wonder if they'll make it so that if you look close enough on the lava planets, you can see two jedi fighting... ;) awesome work CCP, theyre beautiful!

Gnulpie Minmatar Miner Tech	Posted - 2009.10.29 18:13:00 - [41] Originally by: Alhambra Trellane My god, they are freaking awesome. And you can SEE the atmospheric envelope on some planets! At the moment the planets are a huge disappointment to me. I can only hope that the remaining month until release will be seriously used to polish up the details. The lightning on the planets - especially on the dark side - is completely out of order, making the planets appear totally artificial pieces. Look for example at the roids, they are much better. Then the different types of planets, they are also pretty gross. Especially the lava planet. Hilarious bright. Bright as the surface of the stars. Just lol. Furthermore the atmosphere is pretty much a joke. Especially around the earth-like planets. Just a glowing orb around the planet. At best some sort of coloring depending on the angle towards the sun, but that's it as far as I can see. No atmospheric effects on the night side. Stars have same brightness when they shine through the atmosphere compared to the vacuum. Clouds are just appearing flat on the planet, they do not hover above the ground and cast shadows. Then all the different planets. They have no real hightmaps, when you look at the horizon you will notice that in extreme, everything will appear flat. Also there is no lod! Pretty disapointing especially since Infinity had much better planets already two years ago. The good news though is that there is still one month left! And that is a lot of time to polish up things and tweak around stuff so that it can look really great. The groundwork is in there I think, now the detail work must be done. Good that this is not a final release :-)

Good that this is not a final release :-) Have you ever considered that even Mount Everest will look like dust on the horizon? Earth has a diameter of ~12000km, Mount everest is just under 9km high. Clouds are arounds 2 and 20km up. From space it will look like it do in these screenshots, very very flat. Also if you zoom in you will actually see that the clouds DO cast shadows, just that you hardly will see them as they are a 1200th of the diameter of the planet with the sun at a 45 degree angle.
Sharp Feather Gallente POS Builder Inc. Silent Requiem	Posted - 2009.10.29 20:08:00 - [43] Maaaaaaaaan, can only imagine the crazy wild life on these awesome planets!
Mr Muchaka	Posted - 2009.10.29 22:46:00 - [44] Originally by: Winters Chill OMG 13, that ice world looks amazing! It looks like you could land on it, this is the part i weep with joy. In mother Russia the planet lands on you.
J'mee Leggs	Posted - 2009.10.29 23:18:00 - [45] Originally by: Nova Fox Also if you stare hard enough you can see the magma move on molten worlds. Are you sure you not just staring too hard?

Gieron Middleton and Mercer LLP	Posted - 2009.10.29 23:54:00 - [47] I have been around quite a bit on sisi, but still haven't seen an ocean planet. Am I missing something? Secondly, not to alarm anyone, but the EVE gate is gone. New eden does have a different background to the rest of the EVE constellation, but the blinding light that was the EVE gate is nowhere to be seen.

Maybe they're going to add it as an actual in-game object at last? Not just a background effect? wishes

Blnukem 192 Amarr Revilers Cartel	Posted - 2009.10.30 01:16:00 - [50] Originally by: JeanMichel Bizarre Those without that glowing ring are freaking amazing. What am I saying?! They are all great just that there are different levels of great. Glowing ring? Do you mean the atmosphere? Otherwise I see no "white ring."

Salia WinterDrake Caldari	Posted - 2009.10.30 04:01:00 - [51] I think I died and went to heaven. For me, the crappy planets were a real immersion-breaker, so its great to see them up close and personal. Someone up above said there was no Level-of-Detail (LOD) - well there probably is, like the bump maps etc turn off at a distance. The planets are procedurally generated, so LOD likely isn't handled the same way as it is for pre-generated assets such as ships, stations etc. Now if we can warp around the planets rather than through them... (ie like Independence War 2 which did warping par excellence) ----- VPN-Firewall Guide

Look at some pics from the space shuttle or satellites, you can CLEARLY see the clouds rising above the ground even at angles of around 25-40 degrees, not to mention 70+ degrees. Especially important are the self casting shadows of the clouds. But as I said earlier, the stuff on the test server is work in progress and there is still one month left to improve things and there are 'only' details to improve - but that needs to be done in my opinion. So it is not hopeless :-)

5pinDizzy Amarr State Protectorate	Posted - 2009.10.30 13:32:00 - [55] Is that it? Pfft. You suck CCP. Those pictures were boring. I'm bored now. What a terrible waste of my time. I'm going off to do something less terrible now, because I'm a terrible liar.
Calhontor	Posted - 2009.10.30 15:02:00 - [56] Edited by: Calhontor on 30/10/2009 15:02:57 Is it just me or do the sandstorm planets look pretty much the same as the thunderstorm planets? I cant wait to see the gas giants and moons tho.
Lord Xanthoh	Posted - 2009.10.30 15:10:00 - [57] Originally by: Sader Rykane Edited by: Sader Rykane on 28/10/2009 23:27:34 Edited by: Sader Rykane on 28/10/2009 23:24:58 Messing with planets: ~500km from planet. Little Closer A little closer..... Getting near true zero At Zero The white ring acts like the "Halo" from halo games. Do you get (I suppose not) any kind of damage when approaching the upper atmospheres? It's amazing how this effect is simulated in X3. Anyways, for some reason, I still think that X3 planets are far more superior and grandiose than Eve's...

Nyphur Pillowsoft Total Comfort	Posted - 2009.10.30 15:35:00 - [59] I would kill to see the shader code that can generate this on the fly. I've got a few ideas on how it's done, but that's some impressive work. Holy crap. EVE-Tanking.com - Helping you keep your hull in-tact.

Earth has a diameter of ~12000km, Mount everest is just under 9km high. Or, to put things into perspective here's a small practical reference : Linkage Yep. Or, put another way, the earth is smoother than a billiard ball. That includes from the deepest trench in the ocean to the tallest mountain. Quote: OK, first, how smooth is a billiard ball? According to the World Pool-Billiard Association, a pool ball is 2.25 inches in diameter, and has a tolerance of +/- 0.005 inches. In other words, it must have no pits or bumps more than 0.005 inches in height. ThatÆs pretty smooth. The ratio of the size of an allowable bump to the size of the ball is 0.005/2.25 = about 0.002. The Earth has a diameter of about 12,735 kilometers (on average, see below for more on this). Using the smoothness ratio from above, the Earth would be an acceptable pool ball if it had no bumps (mountains) or pits (trenches) more than 12,735 km x 0.00222 = about 28 km in size. The highest point on Earth is the top of Mt. Everest, at 8.85 km. The deepest point on Earth is the Marianas Trench, at about 11 km deep. Hey, those are within the tolerances! So for once, an urban legend is correct. If you shrank the Earth down to the size of a billiard ball, it would be smoother.
