Wow. Nice work CCP. That art dept. vid 1 was amazing...

Pretty space is certainly cool... but my "jaw dropper" moment is the relative positioning of celestial macro objects in space.

Can you imagine? We're going to be able to look around a system and know WHERE we are relative to the rest of known systems visually! That blows me away. Space is going to feel a lot bigger but at the same time a lot more connected...

...its just really cool to me.

I wonder what wormhole space will look like...

Top notch, CCP. A+

Lookin forward to this.

Whatever "dev" it was that removed the pod squish sound probably never even logged into the game.

I haven't seen the vid yet (and unfortunately won't until Monday) but I expect that if such a new model does exist, then it's likely to be considerably higher-resolution (it won't be so blurry viewed close-up)

One day they woke me up so I could live forever

It's such a shame the same will never happen to you

Really pleased to see them talk about the new nebulae, I've been excited about them since fanfest.

OP have you seen the fanfest videos were they talk about the new nebulae? It was revealed way back then that backgrounds would be relative to where you are in New Eden and other cool information, well worth checking out.

I'm actually wondering how this will actually be implemented - you'd either end up with:

- downloading a couple of gigs of pre-rendered high res textures
- locally rendering each system at jump (unlikely)
- have a compronmise with constellation based skyboxes

I assume it will be the last option, but anyway - looking forward to this...

From what I understand of a video presentation they did at a fanfest, it's the last - the complex 3-d particle objects (the technology for which has been developed by a third party) are "photographed" (as it were) from within the position of each star system, so we will have different skyboxes, and they'll automatically be co-ordinated to change consistently and appropriately as we move through New Eden.

I absolutely love the look (I think we can already see them in the login screen, and in some of the backgrounds for this forum). They look much more like the kinds of pictures we get from Hubble. The old skyboxes were cool for their time, as "artistic impressions", but this update is very cleverly conceived and should look amazing.

This is nothing new, not sure why you getting excited.

CCP told us about this at the start of incarna and then did not deliver and some people bitched.
People should read dev blog more often, no **** you morons got all pissy over the last 18 months.

Confirming that the new nebulae looks absolutely stunning....

any chance of an update to those relatively low res 'local' gas clouds that are in missions and plexes and such?

Will it be possible to turn off all Nebulae as a preferences option?

No real color but pure cold black space, twinkling stars, and system celestials.

Yes, you are getting a second video early next week!

I have been so in awe at the amazing stuff our Art dept are providing for this expansion. What you have seen in the first video is just a taster for the rest of the cool they are bringing out Smile

Well, if you're gonna look at the new nebulae, you should be listening to that Icelandic music used in that presentation.... 'tis good. 'tis free....
