| Summary | 0000168: Nebula Bug 2 - Cutting edges on close distance | ||||
| Description | Look at these screenshots: http://www.penguinbomb.com/lightspeed/SCPTest/nebulabug.jpg When I'm some metres away from a ship, it smoothly fades into the nebula (looking great), but as soon as I near it (and i'm really close to it) theres some visible cutting edges - which look rather ugly. Some parts of the ship appear to have no nebula effect at all. Now it *should* look like the images on the left side, no matter how far i'm away from my target, and i'm certain it looked okay on some previous builds. I'm using fs2_openT-20040401.exe, btw. | ||||

it looked like that in earlier builds becase they wern't being drawn in 3d, in FS2 retail it looked prety much the way it does now. |
|
|
The way it is now is no real solution though. The cutting edges look so ugly something will have to be done about them. I know it had issues in retail too - but i'm sure FSO had it fixed at some point. And the visual improvement is so significant that personally I wouldn't mind changing it against a bit of extra performance. |

I think the 2D poofs looked better. I might put that on a command line or something. Technically Bob has put it back to the retail way which is our policy. |
|
|
Use -2d_poof to activate in future builds. Am going to close the bug since this is how retail freespace looked but bring it up in the forum as well. Rendering them in 3D seems to cause the excessive brightness as well. |
