Speetree Rt, oh no. Options

[Argo]

now that bethesda has choosen to release the vids, everyone can have a look on the forrest video and see the speetree in motion him- and herself.

the player in the video moves very slowly, but if you look close enough and focus on a tree, while the player starts walking into a slightly different direction, you can see how the leaves turn with player. billboards, bah. damn them, simple sprites they are.

now you can argue that its barely noticable, but i promise you, that the first time you enter a forest and look around faster than he does, you are going to notice it.

the speedtree engine might be great for photorealistic screenshots and good performance, but it lacks realism, and in motion, just doesnt look good.

too bad, but i guess we'll have to live with it.

i struggled trying to notice it. in the end, i still have no idea what you're talking about.

besides, better preformance? good looking shots? what more do you want?
if you want realism to that high of a degree, get off your computer and go outside.

I think I agree with doomed and Fool right here.

..If the leaves weren't sprites then trust me there would be no simple way for my computer (which is the tippity top of the line, custom built, everything but 2 vid cards) to not have to chug out 3 fps to play this game in motion.

Untill the proper tech arrives I can safely say that this is the right choice that Beth made
