I like it.

 

But it's not better than the first version. Criticisms:

• The extreme video compression makes HD res useless and makes the whole thing look bad in general.
  
• LoD popping/sudden appearing of the bushes is still visible (I guess it's just the same video, but you managed to upload it in HD).
  
• Also the changes of the different shadow areas/resolutions is very visible.
  
• Music fits less and is not as good as the first one.

 

Still, the map and artwork is great.

Did you provide a special shader for the running water on this Josh ?

have to agree with Masterxilo. I thought that the beginning of the music was static noise at first. The Full hd quality seems to loose a lot of quality. I even prefer to watch in 480.

 

Still one of the best video's, if not the best, around.

I used the default waterplane with its shader. Just played with the settings and put some floating water particles in there.

 

 

It's just a re-rendered version in 1080p. Maybe Josh will do some smooth LoD transition in his new vegetation code. I wish but don't know.

Concerning the comments around the net others wish too.

I guess the only thing I would say negative was the camera movement wasn't smooth enough for me. You could tell when it hit it's next node.

 

Otherwise I thought it was very good!
