Terrain currently in the game does not look natural, theres no sign of over time enviromental factors appearing to lead into the deseign of the terrain.

Lacking are the ditches and trenches formed for water run off or the carving of the rock and earth from wind or rain. The terrains are without age to them, looking like they are formed by a tool instead of years of weather.

Prime example of this is the map previously known as manus peak, the large flat area to the (east?) where the peak use to be. It has no depth or character like it would of been formed by anything natural, more such like people came in with machines and just sead "yep, that looks messy, good enough".


The game deserves to have natural elements to it like glacial formed enviroments or enviroments formed by metor strikes. Look towards earth a bit more, All the different terrain and how it was formed over the millions of years, how terrrians match up and dont just change dramatically, the natural aesthetics.

Thanks for reading.

While you're at it, have them do something about the yellow snow/sand or whatever the hell it is...

I like the yellow texture setting, makes it look alien which is exactly what I want in most of the planets I visit in Dust. Earth isn't the only way to form a temperate planet.

A tiled terrain is simply a terrain stored across many individual files instead of a single large file. The
files are named similar to each other in some logical fashion. This can be advantageous for several
reasons -- some display engines may be able to page individual files in and out of memory to improve
performance, and in a shared environment individual artists can work on seperate files without issue.
Most importantly however, the practical resolution limit for a single heightfield in World Machine is
around 8192x8192; even with 64bit systems working with a single file this size or larger can become
quite unwieldy. Tiling offers a way around this problem. By saving the terrain area as a rectangular set
of individual files, you can export vast areas of terrain at effectively unlimited resolution.
World Machine 2 Professional supports seamless use of tiled terrains; you won't have to worry about
individual files, instead you will be working with the tileset as a whole. Tiled terrain support is notlimited to export; you can complete the circle by importing tiled terrain datasets, allowing you to work
with datasets that may span many hundreds of files and multiple-gigabytes easily and intuitively.

I saw before a military notes, them said some weather , wind speed , sun spot will affect a sniper aiming , maybe will became more true , sometime suffer weather will drop stamina more faster when you charge .......

(...)They use a combination of World Machine and MudBox
