no, it is still the 1000x500 altitude mapUncanny_Valley wrote:That's some great work. I love the progress that you made thus far. Have you increased the resolution of the height map, or is that still the same as before?
Awesome! Glad that worked out.Nystul wrote:that was an easy fix!Interkarma wrote: Completely ignoring cities for a minute, do nature flats in the wilderness more or less align correctly to the ground at such high terrain scales, or do they float a little also?
If nature flats in wilderness seem to align OK, my first strategy would be to change how a location's vertical position is assigned to work more like nature flats. There's probably a discrepancy between Unity's representation of terrain heights and the calculated average position from source data. The more you scale the terrain, the more the discrepancy is scaled also. The nature flats work differently in that they use SampleHeight() directly from live Terrain. This may yield more accurate alignment of fixed structures than the current method of calculating city height based on source data.
In short, see how nature flats use SampleHeight() in TerrainHelper.cs (line 537) and try to apply this method to cities in StreamingWorld.cs (starting at line 691).
my todo list becomes shorter and shorter
You'd be right on the shadows. I start noticing artifacts after you exceed 1000 units in any direction. I'm sure the other few issues won't be too hard to resolve.Nystul wrote:there are some issues left (but i am not sure if it is a good idea to tackle them before releasing the planned demo, since I don't know how much work is involved in fixing these issues:
-) the sun of Lypyl's Enhanced Sky Mod is in front of the far terrain (not occluded correctly by the far terrain)
-) fog color does not match the color of the enhanced sky - this is especially an issue when it is night and you can see bright grey fog in the night :/
-) in high altitudes false shadows/moire effect pattern type shadows start to appear (I think this is a floating point issue and could be solved by using floating-origin script with y-axis incorporation), see this screenshot:

Mountains are a bit too high I think (does one know how high they should be in terms of altitude values? have to check the elderscrolls wiki
The sun issue - That's because flares are blocked by collider so without them they will be rendered. I have a potential fix I've been working on for the problem for the horizon without the extended terrain but hopefully it should help most of the time with it as well. Unfortunately it requires turning off the flare layer on the main camera which is probably not viable in the long term as there might be other flares being used down the line...but for the demo and beyond the fix (should) work. The worst case scenario is to just get rid of the flare.Nystul wrote:Interkarma wrote:

I will try if terrain colliders on the far terrain are the solution.

the fog - As I pointed out before, I simply haven't gotten to it yet...
Code: Select all
RenderSettings.fogColor = cloudColors.Evaluate(timeRat);
Is that what's causing the distant terrain to shift / move around weirdly? I didn't recall it happening in 1.1, but I'm not sure if that was the case.unfortunately the far terrain positioning suffers from a bug, I thought I solved this already but it seems to strike back in an bitchy way
exactly, I am not sure what reintroduced this bug or if it was never really fixed.LypyL wrote: Is that what's causing the distant terrain to shift / move around weirdly? I didn't recall it happening in 1.1, but I'm not sure if that was the case.
that made the trick!LypyL wrote:It looks like it still requires disabling the flare layer on the main camera
After a quick check, it looks like removing flare layer from main camera, distance camera, enabling the flare layer on sky camera and adding default layer to the flare's list of ignored layers (or moving the enhanced sky controller so it doesn't intersect with the terrain colliders) makes it work - but I'll need to test it further to make sure.
