Visuals are just wow. Few shots are photorealistic.

Here I am, cleaning up the drool again! Getting dehydrated and grinning from ear to ear!

Some details about the next update: 
 

There are still issues with the clouds, so I'm trying various algorithms to get rid of artifacts and to improve the lighting. Maybe we will release one version without them, just to get the rest of stuff tested.

Some of other changes:

• collision shape support in importer
• static object collisions
• lights support
• $include support for scripts
• uncached video capture (faster)

The future looks bright for Outterra.

Anyway, even though the thing is still not finished and it's not unlikely that it will be redone differently yet, I think there will be a testable ugly version soon™ to break the fast. A couple of things that prevent me from pushing it out now - rendering not working when you are inside the cloud, cloud cover missing after 100km, and various artifacts. I'd at least like to fix the inside rendering before the release, but I'm not sure what obstacles await me there yet.

That's impressive even before it's ready!

All coming together splendidly.

Very impressive!

Stunning even by now - absolutely stunning!

Looking very good. Glad to see things are progressing.

That's something special!!

Two pictures from the ground:

 

 

 

Some shading will have to be done even with shadows off, because terrain lighting is wrong with overcast.

It should be not only under shadow, but also the atmospheric scattering should lose bluish tones, unless the sun is actually below the clouds. Also the ambient lighting now must be different for stuff under and above the clouds.
