Ah, long time no update on Projekt "W"'s status over here at PGD. Those of you that follow my homepage know that I'm still putting a lot of work into getting "Phase 2" finished, and I lack the time to update my HP and this thread simultaneously (together with my german status postings over at DGL), but I released a new video and thought it would be nice to show it to the PGD crowd.
The video shows some new eyecandy. Something I wanted to implement for a long time now was a proper atmoshphere for the globe, and after some tinkering around I found a very simple solution to make that one look good (it doesn't even use a shader), so the globe now has a nice atmosphere around it's border.
Also new is the water shader. I was never really satisified with the old one from "Phase 1" as it didn't look very realistic and was missing the typical specular highlights to some extend. So I rewrote that one too and I think it looks a lot better now.
And last-but-not least I also changed the day/night transition on the globe. Up until now it was the realistic way moving around the globe. That looked great but wasn't in line with the background's transition from day to night, so now the globe also has a full transition.
So here is the video (keep in mind it's still a WIP). If possible watch the 720p HD version :
