Snubnose 641 Posted November 10, 2019 I noticed on console streams that the leafs looked pretty "chunky". but I though it was due to lower graphic settings... now there's this picture, and I'm concerned about the leafs well-being... why are they all swollen? seriously though, these trees look kinda bad... I like the new darker / less saturated color, but wtf happened to the fluffiness??? it reminds me a lot of this minecraft option where leaf textures aren't see through to save some performance: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellix 416 Posted November 10, 2019 I think that's a LOD2 Meaning this will happen while the player is really far from the tree Pretty sure that in the final version the trees will be fine up close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frosi 722 Posted November 10, 2019 These look a bit wonky indeed but thats just one of the things that you guys can point out and give feedback on when it comes to Public testing in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkittyM 287 Posted November 10, 2019 Tree model is the same, it just looks super weird cause of the lighting and LODs being super low in Live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldtiger 133 Posted November 10, 2019 The things that stick out the most in the engine upgrade version is the coloration, clouds, and vegetation. I personally like the trees, but ig it's just because I hate the current look of the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iMiss 49 Posted November 10, 2019 Really good foliage is actually a real sizable feat to pull off, and personally, generally i don't really get the big kerfuffle about orgasmic foliage; especially in a game like APB where it's so sparse. I can see it being important in a game like EFT where you're walking in bushes and through trees all the time (and they just reworked their grass render system so grass renders ~200m out which is insane, but again, in a game like EFT its something they need for a good experience) I really appreciate all of the tedious work the team has been putting in to make a genuinely better version of the game, and matt for being so communicative about what's going on in the office. I'm not so quick to forget about the contrast between Tiggs leaving us high and dry with literally nothing for over a full year, to LO's constant transparency and involvement. Really obscure, pesky weird bugs like the ones they've been chasing down are such a big portion of why i don't see myself doing game dev work.. it would peeve me so much to run in circles troubleshooting each issue for days. Hopefully with all of these improvements to optimization, lighting/shadows, LOD and AA, Matt may feel a little bit more comfortable feeding us an OTW build to splooge over, stress out with the hungry playerbase, and then inevitably complain about.. something.

I do not know if that bug was updated or not. if they still have that bug it might mess it up too Edited November 11, 2019 by Fortune Runner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PotatoeGirl 220 Posted January 11, 2020 It is either the transparency exposure isn't the same or it is lower quality texture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zilsux Posted January 13, 2020 That either looks like LOD taking place, or the Rendering mode for the leaves not being set to cutout. Either way not a problem I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
