Someone asked about refraction in the water already. I wonder, will it be possible at some time in the game engine to have refraction of the gun-sight and armored glass?
Thanks for the video, Romanator, it answered a couple of questions for me. As for the shadow an instrument needle throws, it is noticeable. The cockpit shot of that Spit is a perfect example of the lighting necessary. Much more important is Oleg's reply- objects with as little as 3mm of separation will throw shadows! That is amazing resolution!
