TG2 update.

Ranged falloff on light source - just what I was looking for

[Dune]

This update IS incredible, I can tell you that!

[cyphyr]

Great news, every feature described so far I'd use from day one
So what's "...with per-object/population controls". I've been hoping for a rotational limit control (ie limit rotation to every 30º)
and I wonder if other "guide proportions" could be used added, such as Golden Section and Vitruvian Man.

They take an age to come out (updates that is) but when the do they always deliver.

Some nice updates there, looks like there has been some improvements in the way we can control clouds, that has always been one of the more difficult aspects for me.

[PorcupineFloyd]

This looks very, very promising

[domdib]

Sounds excellent!

The per-object/population controls refer to wireframe view in the 3D Preview. It just means you can control whether a given object or population displays as wireframe, bounding box, or is invisible. So you can have all your "hero" objects in wireframe for example, and then set your population to bounding box, and make other things invisible if you don't need to see them.

No control over rotation "steps" or anything yet.

Throw a couple of screen captures up Oshyan..

Does this mean I can make contrails without needing ogre's geometry?

[Oshyan]

If you're referring to the cloud locality controls, they could potentially be used for something like that, but I don't know if it would be a better, or even as good effect.

I can't wait.  Thanks for the update.

This really sounds especially intriguing to me - "New option "anisotropic enviro light" in atmosphere and clouds allows more accurate light scattering simulation"

[Gannaingh]

Holy cow! That's one monster update! Thank you Planetside for all the hard work you do to provide such an excellent product!

[sjefen]

Yeah... some screens would be cool

- Terje

[Tangled-Universe]

Screens about what? It are the same kind of windows, only with new parameters

[sjefen]

Hehe. I actually meant example images. Renders to be more precise.

Ghehe, of course I knew that
Well, basically all the renders posted here by the alpha testers from the last couple of months use the new anisotropic scattering in atmosphere and clouds.
