Just a lake

Just a lake, to say I start a long list of tests and terrain generation for HTC+. Theses tests are final tests for HTC+ before beta for HTC owners.

HTC isn't out yet right? When can we expect it if it isn't? If it is, what's the URL?!

@Master Treb
They look the same as his previous screenshots of HTC - http://www.garagegames.com/blogs/51584/9482
I haven't played with TGE in so long I can't compare them with a default setup, but I can't imagine why he would change them...

@Vincent

Looks nice. The grass reminds me of Oblivion's ground cover.

@Treb and Michael

That's just how TSE handles the crossbow/animations. Not sure why. Maybe a minor bug of some sort. I'm not sure if other weapons exhibit the same problem. Perhaps someone else can clarify.

What's the FPS on that foliage?

On my pc with that amount of foilage, the FPS drops quite a bit

Looking good. Since the ground has been given an upgrade, why not give the sky the same ? :)

@Jonathon : HTC is ready www.solu-si.com/dragonhead. HTC+ isn't ready yet, and will be available when it's ready ;)

@Master Treb : Don't know what happens with the crossbow

@Aaran : Ha ! Oblivion... Delay killer... :)

@Mike and SphyxGames: 45 - 60 FPS. It's low, but this terrain count :
1,941,527 Trees
78,452 rocks/boulders
31,753,421 Grass objects
So to handle this, it's not surprising to have such FPS.

Edit : @Matt : Skies was planned for HTC+. But I think, I don't do something for this release.
