Its inevitable that they will go higher res eventually - why not make it available now? As for the ships, meh Im always zoomed out! Great job on this expansion CCP, btw. 1 Account resubbed.

I think my biggest complaint for the longest time regarding textures has been that of the lights on ships. They are blurry and and hardly defined at all. In fact they rather look like ****. I was hoping this would change with the V3 updates to the ships but they really haven't at all. They are still just as crappy looking as ever.

Ultimately yes...higher texture detail for those PC's that can use them.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Doubtful. Earlier in the year, I found a neat plugin that allowed you to use MLAA in any 3D application. I filed a petition inquiring about using it in EVE, and was told it would result in a ban. Too bad! What?

I can force MLAA to work just from my graphic card settings. I think the GM you were talking to was uneducated as to what you were talking about, and assumed the blanket "durrr 3rd party app, me ban!" response.

I think this is a great idea! The high res assets are already there, all CCP has to do is package them up and send them out to the players.

They'll also make fan videos and promo videos look better, so CCP marketing should be behind this idea too Cool

8GB RAM is $35 (!), and most current gen high end GPUs have at least 1.5GB RAM on the GPU alone, so if CCP has high-res models and textures lurking on their content creation servers, release them!

I think I am going ot say this again - how about this, we let them finish what they have on the table before making NEW demands on things not even in the pipe... or shall we just drop the whole V3 skins to where they are now, leave Time-Dialtion to off on TQ, skip all the balancing of things, and the couple new ship models, and all the rest... and go to HD, yea... this sounds great... then people will *****... HD but the Amarr look like crap, LAG!!!... LAG!!!!... unplayable... whaaa.... Hybreds suck now, or X sucks now... CCP is crap... whaaaa... This is the worst HD game... what do you mean the updates are 800GB!!!... wtf CCP, why can't I patch it like a real game... Whaaaaa.... whaaaa... my pussy hurts... whaaaa I have sand in my ****... whaaaaa...

For godsake people, relax and enjoy what you have...

As Torfi has mentioned before we are discussing the possibility of making optional downloads a reality. If we can make that happen and you have a graphics card that can handle it, then why not?
There is more to it for us than just making the art assets available for download. We have to have some way of maintaining and updating optional downloads, plus some handy way for you to select them at your will.
Now on the subject of blocking the stars. We have been looking into how to make that a reality and as you see in the video from Fanfest it was our intent from the beginning. Unfortunately things don't always go as planned.
Because of the compression artifact that you get in some of the textures now, we would like to explore some better ways of storing them, and also the possibility of optional high quality downloads. Until we know for sure that the format we have is the best we can come up with without killing performance, we just don’t want to be pushing nebulae content updates, and new tech to support it, over and over again to the community. We truly felt that this was a good start for this part of the renovation and we are hoping that we now have something that we can work with in the future and keep raising the quality of your surroundings.

Aineko Macx Likes received: 367	#59 - 2011-12-27 21:06:41 UTC 1 That's great! One MIPMAP level more would mean 4 times the texture size, but apart from more VRAM use and load on the GPU texture units it is a rather simple change. The problem seems to be how to manage and update optional content in the client... iveeCore 3.0: The PHP engine for industrial activities and CREST library
