This 'we' you're talking about is erm....who exactly?

And this is relevant to the issue how ??

of course you set your gfx options to "high" before posting this

RIGHT?

The nebula's dark areas, the ones that are supposed to be unlit actually show all of the background stars.
That's is killing 3D look of nebulaes and they are looking like wallpapers...

You do know that in real life nebulas have stars both in front and behind and they shine through, right?

I thought it looked fine and 3D enough. They look so realistic that now the stations need improvements to look less cartoonish in comparison, but one thing at a time, k? No need to be rude to our HOSTS, we are guests on their servers.

This thread got me looking a bit more closely.

Some of the darker area's on the video do indeed block out the stars, which does give a bit more dimension to the Nebulae.

On Sisi only the very bright area's block out the stars, all dark area's that I checked tended to let the stars shine through. It's a subtle difference in effect that doesn't bother me much at all. However, I have to admit that the way they are handled in the video looks a bit better.

you realize that stars can be in front of the dust lanes right?

I must admit the nebs do just look like pictures stuck in space, they dont look immersive, or cloud dusty. I thought you was supposed to be able to fly into them and be covered, it snot that case. sadly another half assed finished feature...nothing changes eh

And if you are guest... how do you become guest???
i would be guest too... because for guests is all free...
you know... i am a customer here... I PAY... and still TEST their product for free... and because that i expect at least an response.

well if it looks good in the video (recorded using someone elses gfx card and settings)
and it looks bad on your machine on sisi, perhaps the issue is with your gfx setup not rendering the view the same as the dev who recorded it


and really, the OP should be boiled in oil posting about gfx issues while playing on a laptop display adapter....

If you actually THINK for 2 seconds.....the programming code and video card power needed to generate all the Particle stuff for actual 3D Gas Nebulae so that YOU can be 'physically encompassed' by them.........I do not want to PAY for that.

Indeed a ridiculous WHINE here............................

THEY LOOK FREAKING FANTASTIC.

Take that attitude of entitlement that paying means you can be rude and demanding to the host of a venue to any of the bars in my neighborhood, and a brawny tattooed guy will show you to the sidewalk at butt-bruising high velocity no matter how much cover you paid or drinks you bought. Think about it. Honey and vinegar people, if you are sweet everyone will want into your hive, but vinegar is for douches.

What attitude?
you are talking about guests...

I only writing response to CCP plea and don't like that when you do favor to some person he/she dont response you back...

Considering those are screen shots done with a top of the line video card, I'd say optional is not an option.

So you will be downloading 201 megs, which are then compressed, I can't tell you the exact compressed size at this time. The maps were authored at twice the resolution we are delivering them in, and they are compressed. Ofc, they look much better uncompressed and in full resolution, so we might offer those as an optional download at some point in the future, for the die hard astronomy addicts with space on their hard drives and video ram to spare.

When they went in initially, raw from the rendering farm, they were about 2GB in size, which caused a few issues in client size

I want a optional high quality nebulae pack, please.

I posted this in the other thread ("The new nebulae."):


See below:



2GB for the entire uncompressed pack really isn't so bad. Since there are 68 unique backgrounds now, you're looking at 29MB per background. There are plenty of GPUs that can handle this, so something like an optional download for the people who want and can run it is certainly realistic. The nebulae featured in the Crucible wallpapers are cube maps. They're static images and not the actual CG renders of the nebulae.

Client size is the only limiting factor on CCP's end. Offer an optional download and everyone will be happy. If anything, I would think that CCP would like to have an option like this available for those who want it since they put so much hard work into these backgrounds to begin with.

you know what you see when you're flying inside of a nebula?


nothing. even as "the denser regions of space" nebulae are extremely sparse. your ships scanners would know, but your eyes would not.
