Ironsight 1 Posted February 5, 2005 I have to try this out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted February 5, 2005 Wow that looks completely amazing. I am sure my computer would probably explode about 100 times if I tried to load a single tree though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denoir 0 Posted February 5, 2005 Very not impressive. I've seen demos years ago that did better nature than this. I expect far more than that in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonko the sane 2 Posted February 5, 2005 very nice, at a certain point almost had the 5000m viewdistance syndrome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandalf the white 0 Posted February 5, 2005 I bet that after this test i'm going to compare real life trees to this... (10% downloaded!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted February 5, 2005 okay it looks "okay" but what I find especially impressive is the great performance even at highest settings AND also the realistic movements of the trees.. fantasy forest is not bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted February 6, 2005 Looks very nice, will check this out now, all the detail and high view distance remind me of OPF on steroids, this is the stuff we need in forthcoming new games . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandalf the white 0 Posted February 6, 2005 It's nice, but it has its limitations... I prefer 3Dmark05's forests, larger image larger image larger image larger image If OFP2 comes close to this i'm going to follow Frostbite's advice and send the guys at BIS a.. no.. two bottles of wine!

Silent N Deadly 0 Posted February 6, 2005 Looks great, Im downloading it right now. Im too curious. (20%) Edit-Its done now, im trying to install it. I hope its worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted February 6, 2005 Its awsome , and unlike 3d mark 05 it renders alot and runs smooth, would work great for a helicopter or a tank sim, on the ground the grass rendering disapoints a bit but i still felt like grabbing a rifle and go unting some tangos. Wonder how it would run with some good a.i. units running around and animals and stuff, gaming a tact military sim on this would be very nice, great find Lee, thanks .

Silent N Deadly 0 Posted February 6, 2005 Bah, it's not working. It says "Failed Creating the Direct3D device" when I try to launch it. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted February 6, 2005 Bah, it's not working.It says "Failed Creating the Direct3D device" when I try to launch it. Any suggestions? You meet the specs , up to date video drivers , it didnt run for me first at 1280x1024 so i had to lower res a notch and set detais to medium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
