[major_setback]

Questions to Oleg:

1. You have told us already that skins will be complex - including a weathered texture that changes over time. Will we be able to edit the weathered textures (to make our own weatherd textures)? Or will all planes of one type weather the same?

2. We have seen photos from your studio showing people involved in the making of towns. I want to know what percentage of towns will be hand made, and how much/many will be automatically generated (Dgen)? I can imagine that a lot of the buildings in London need to be individually placed, but will that also happen for Dover (for example)?



...and guys: please stop the sawatika questions, this isn't the place. Do you really think Oleg has the time to read things that have been discussed a million times before? One question on markings is OK, and we can all wait for an answer. There's no reason to hijack the thread. It is wasting Oleg's time, and will not encourage him to spend more time here.

1. I think user will have complete access to the skins... Because if user will make new skin and have no access to the weathering part of skins then the finakl will looks incorrect. Simple logic.

2. Most is auto (defined by code and texture). Some places are manual, say like time square, or Queen's(king's) palace square, etc.... Also anyway we need some time to change some places that to make it looking better and more different after automatic placement. And, anyway such technology allow us to save a lot of time working over map.... if to put everything manually then we will need some small separate team for this purpose...
