amentiba 318 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What a splendid work ! Question : wich REX water texture is activated on those screens ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dom Mason 27 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Great place and i like the idea of a scenery that includes some other parts here and there. In the futur, if you can add a bunch of PeopleFlow, i don't know, in the refinery, on the bridge, 1 or 2 in the private airstrip, that the kind of thing i would like !

Jarrad Marshall 1,507 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thank you all for the lovely feedback, I am extremely flattered at the positive response so far After working on such a large-scope project on Cairns (and having to be oh-so-very careful about poly & texture efficiency), it's nice to have a smaller palette to work with this time around. I really enjoy getting my teeth stuck into detailed modelling (such as the bridge or static aircraft), and with the performance benefits enabled with the use of TextureFlow, I'm getting excellent performance all round. In the futur, if you can add a bunch of PeopleFlow, i don't know, in the refinery, on the bridge, 1 or 2 in the private airstrip, I'm sure I can whip that up for you Dom Question : wich REX water texture is activated on those screens ? My personal favourite (and was also used in all my promo shots for Cairns) is "Clear Lake", to be honest I haven't ever used FSWC as I'm more than happy with the results I get from REX. Thanks again!

sbflyer 0 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 This is gorgeous scenery. But I am particularly impressed by the stunning custom static aircraft! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lthendrix 73 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 after viewing these photos, One has to ask ,... How in the name of the holy on high do I become a Beta tester ....?? sign me up ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Venema 9,314 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 To become a beta tester you simply have to ask, be prepared to sign an NDA, commit to regular, consistent, solid, quality testing and be prepared to be beaten up by me with a big stick when you don't test. Because of my very strict conditions on testing our testing team is understandably small. I know testing is voluntary but at the same time we do expect solid testing from people who put their hand up. So think very long and hard before volunteering to be an Orbx tester - we run a different ship to most other developers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
