He improved the landmass-shader too, which gives us a more realistic 3d-look to the forest. There is also a new slider in the rendering settings to adjust the level of eye-candy to the available hardware power. | ||
Vivian Meazza added a Reflection Shader. This now gives us shiny surfaces on any object. So you can now have shiny blank metals, or a glossy coating like we can see on cars and modern aircraft, or shiny windows, which even show a nice rainbow effect (like the Airbus shows). These effects are completely configurable and can be controlled in many ways. | Vivian Meazza added a Reflection Shader. This now gives us shiny surfaces on any object.
