StarSlay3r Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 KSP2's atmospheres have been getting some much-needed love from our environment team and graphics engineers, and there are still more improvements on the way. We're especially proud of Murshed Choudhury's work on the new atmospheric scattering system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_v Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Looks great! Seeing the moon slide into view like that is an incredible visual. Also, glad that some planets are going to have different fog densities, the different views on different planets are a big plus over single planet games.

Nate Simpson Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Sometimes we place a reference Kerbal for scale when we're surveying environments. That's what the little red fella's about in that third shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Holy Kraken this is epic. And the moon is super close, whoa. It is Gurdamma and Donk, isn't it? Edited January 28, 2022 by The Aziz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never could've imagined a stock KSP looking like this back in the day. Edited January 28, 2022 by Joshiewowa Forgot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the first two shots are Gurdamma, not Kerbin. Donk is much closer than the Mun (though this ended up being a bit TOO close -- it's been pushed back out just a smidge since this footage was taken). Here's a shot from yesterday with the rings in place and Donk at proper distance.

MARL_Mk1 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) In the shot moving towards the planet, you can see some artifacts in the clouds that look like some kind of Z-fighting horizontal lines on the thinnest parts of the clouds. I remember seeing this phenomena on other videogames with volumetric clouds. What is the cause for that? Smoothing?

gussi111 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Are those Kerbins clouds in the last shot? I'm simply blown away! Thank you KSP team, you instantly made my day 10x better Edited January 28, 2022 by gussi111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the rings change depending if you look at them from the front or from the back, like the many pictures of Saturn Eclipses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
