Hi Oleg.
What about game conference ?

Hi Oleg,

If this will be the in-game detail and the framerate will not be a slide-show, I'm amazed. Bravo.

Great update Oleg, some of those effects look amazing.

Regarding smoke, from looking at guncam footage, I don't think I've ever seen smoke look as thick as that shown in screenshot #3. Is this still very much WIP? As that smoke, whilst looking brilliant, seems too thick: a bit like the smoke in WoP.

Those clouds look amazing in number-4 as well, but in the other pictures they look quite blurred, in comparsion to say this:

Fisrst of all we don't plan to model the mother-earth all weather effects. It is simply impossible even if to make just one total simulator of clouds with all of millions types....
We will have just several. And with them we model airflows near, under over, etc...

As for the smoke. The thing you have seen isn't final, but close to it. Anyway we don't plan to repeat the things that are done wrong.
Also we don't plan holywood in that item.

that makes perfect sense, besides the clouds already look great, and I like the smoke

Thanks for that Oleg. Regarding clouds, clearly you are on-to something regarding the particle effects, but I think that they are looking too much like Il-2 in normal light effects. For instance, I think that you have the potential to create something really awesome here, so I hope that they are still quite WIP. Because the earlier video of SoW (the version based on the Il-2 engine) showed some clouds which IMO looked better like these (in normal light that is).

Ah heck, Oleg, you're quite right about the futility of modelling the sky! I guess I've gotten so used to you folks pulling off the incredible that I never imagined that it would be too big a project.

Still, if anyone could do it, it would probably be you guys...

I'll be very interested to see the finished product.
