i was still referring to grass there with the added persepctive that evergrees add a lot of colour to the otherwise dry environment.
SImple misunderstanding here, as I know what I am talking about! |

all light hearted banter aside, in the latest screenshots this week the trees and shrubs (hedges etc) have now gone a much darker green (from the bleached and very light look we had last week), to dark i'd say in my humble opinion. looks now more like central europe, than the fair land of brits
still, since obviously oleg and Co can adjust this fairly quickly and easily "on the fly" (from one week to the next), i hope they take some of the constructive suggestions in consideration and look at some of the recent pictures posted for the "range of green" that is more typical in southern england. during the 6 yrs i lived in kent, i regularly traveled to northern france, belgium and holland. and the lush greens of england always stood out to me as having a very different "feel" and atmosphere compared to the vegetation in the neighboring countries. being able to get that "roughly right" in the colors and tones for BoB will do a lot to immersion and "suspending disbelief". i am no photographer or digital grafix artist, but shouldnt it be possible to use some digital photographs of english scenery in a gfx program and then be able to exactly get the RGB values for the colors in the image ? doing that on a bunch of good digital images of english vegetation images should then be able to get a "color range" for the greens for different tree types, hedges, various shrubs, and grasses (the farm fields in the recent images looked pretty good to me, its the "greens" that didnt sem to represent england so far, to me at least) hope all this is seen as the constructive feedback it is intended as ![]() Last edited by zapatista; 07-16-2010 at 02:18 PM. |

Well, I don't think the trees themselves look that good at the moment, so I will wait until it's released to pass judgement 100% but I agree with you zap.
Here's the thing, I was playing Il-2 today, and with forest=3 I can see the trees moving in the wind. I played WoP and the sequence looks a lot better in Il-2. As a flyer, I am happy to see moving grass, but maybe they don't need to have leaves themselves moving? Surely this way they could get better looking trees with less fps impact? I mean, the trees in the first set of shots released look better than what we see now. I am sure everything will be tweaked a lot, but I think they should look at the trees in RoF and make ones that look similar, as the RoF trees look like English trees IMO. |
