[VIDEO] Star Citizen 3.0 Procedural Planet Generation (From ATV)

Hi guys!

I thought this worth sharing for those of you who don't religiously watch everything Star Citizen, as it's an impressive demonstration of what is coming in 3.0, planet/moon-wise, and breaks down the various components that goes into the rendering of the stunning vistas we are going to be able to visit.

Enjoy...

Thanks for posting these snippets, Obs. Much appreciated :thumb:

The pull-back at the end spoiled it for me. It just didn't look as good as it should have.

Yeah, I know what you mean, as I felt the same initially; the popping as the LODs switch out was a bit jarring, but then that pull back was not merely to demonstrate the graphical ingenuity being poured into this project (and really nothing has ever been done to this fidelity on this scale before) but also to demonstrate the sheer scale of the universe that CIG are building...look at that last shot of the moon again, and then think: you can visit every single square inch of it! No artificial walls, no fake limitations, no imitation backgrounds.  If you can see it, you can go there.  Well, it blew me away, anyway.

And dat Reclaimer!  We has a few of those!
