Use DS4windows if it bothers you or just pay the people that make inputmapper 2 bucks to never have to deal with adds again.

Is astroturfing illegal yet? I wonder how an investigation into those sorts of allegations would go with something like a forum or reddit.

I don't think she's savvy enough to realize the correlation or see that it isn't her that's the reason for it. I honestly think she's just self-conceited enough to think the success is because she's the one selling it.

Tippis posted:Why is there a dense savannah right next to a sand desert wedged in between, and at roughly the same altitude as, snow-capped mountains? The first part is because they originaly wanted to do a demo of "multiple planets with differrent ecosystems" then hosed up so badly they only left it at the desert demo (i assume the plan was to demo all the "planets" on the same map, with cuts and transitions). The second part is because heightmaps have a limited range - and they've used most of it for detail (dunes and ripples), so total dynamic range is too small for a proper mountain.

Yeah I was sort of wondering, since Cryengine runs on a heightmap image to generate the terrain, how the gently caress do you even do a spherical planet or proc-gen that. Is that why that demo level was 10GB? It had a 9GB topology.bmp file?

Codezombie posted:Aka "We nicked the source for Proland and mucked about with it a bit..." I honestly doubt there's anything real time about their terrain generation. Their interpretation of procedural planets is generating a height map procedurally (once, in development, not clientside) and baking the resulting terrain into a crysis map, then manually sculpting and populating with scenery where necessary. They admitted as much a while ago too, if i remember correctly.

Skellybones posted:Yeah I was sort of wondering, since Cryengine runs on a heightmap image to generate the terrain, how the gently caress do you even do a spherical planet or proc-gen that. There is a trick where you take six heightfields, rotate each height field so it forms a cube, and then take each point on the heightfield, normalise the point, then times the normalised value by the radius of the sphere you want to create. Its a fairly common way to generate a sphere from a mesh, you get a wee bit of distortion at the points where corners of each heightfield meet, however not as bad as polar based spheres. Your actual mesh data is split over a number of increasingly complex meshes, and the height data is then applied to the meshes you have visible. There are other ways to generate planet spheres, but the above system plays very nicely with quad tree systems used to simplify the mesh to reduce poly count at long distances from the camera position, so its a really popular way to draw very large planets. This page kinda goes into some of the basics https://acko.net/blog/making-worlds-1-of-spheres-and-cubes/

Let's actually see this before proclaiming it as fact, hm? Also, he calls out the infinity guy(s) for not having space to planet, and having a 'loading' screen. That guy has been plugging away at that engine for over a decade. I know, I have checked in on it since the early aughts, myself. I am pretty sure he made the game only because he loves building the seamless planet stuff. This is from 2006! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCzDKj3hjOE I actually feel a little bad for the guy. He could never sell the engine, but people clearly want this stuff in games.
