Munraker?

[tg626]

Anyone else have a Mun that looks like someone has been dragging a garden rake over it?

New graphics was part of the .25 update. The 'Munraker' effect is micrometor impact streaks.

I don't recall any new textures for the Mun. Just Kerbin. Active Texture Management can cause this kind of effect though.

There were some threads that were talking about this after the .25 release. I will look around for them and add a link.

Ah, ok. So long as it isn't a glitch.

No ATM here.

It is a glitch, in 0.25 the terrain textures are stretched when applied to the mesh, you can see the effect on other planet surfaces too (including Kerbin).

I'm not so sure. The terrain looks different, not so much as stretched.

IMO it looks like a different texture. At some points (coincidence?) the "raked" terrain is in the Highlands, and the "unraked" are the lowlands, etc.

I noticed it today in the desert too. Now there was a faint hint of what I'd call a high detail normal looking texture on the sand too, but the predominant appearance was the same sort of raked effect. I've never been in a desert that was all sand like the Sahara, so I have no idea if it's legit or not to appear that way, but it doesn't seem "right" to my eyes... Perhaps it's a good idea overdone?

I dunno, I'm no expert - but I think the old textures while they looked lower res, looked better.

Squad is experimenting with different textures and seeing how they work. It is a step towards better graphics.

this reminds me of in Spaceballs when they "comb the desert"

^^^ this rofl.

However, I'm interested to see the results of further adjustments to the textures. Would also be nice if they can make the boulders actually solid.

Don't forget the trees!
