Great video! The work of professional, of course. I was so excited when I saw it on the homepage of ED, that I posted a thread in the general forum. I had not seen the thread of Michael.
Is the asset and shadow tech the same as in the current Beta 2.0?
I could swear that it didn't look quite so nice last night when I had a quick fly around it to check it out. (In particular the I don't think I saw those buildings on the inside edge of the ring, and it generally looked a little grimier (though that could just be down to the different lighting in the Orbis system in the Beta.).
Edit: This shot...
Also my shadows dither a whole lot more than those. Would be very happy to hear that FD made this video from a more advanced build of the game.
