| Quote (DoctorOfSpace) What are your settings for these images Phoenix, and what kind of post process editing do you do if any?
High dynamic range slider at 0.700
auto exposure: unchecked
real planet brightness: unchecked
compress textures: unchecked
fast landscape loading: unchecked
landscap[e LOD: 2
Star scale 0.850, Mag limit 10.0
Star style: points
diffraction spikes: disabled
Projection is at default settings
your shader settings for gas giants and planet clouds
FOV: varies. 50 degees or less
Post processing is Hugin image stitching software to produce the pans.
I do use a GTX 680 graphics card with the latest driver and numerous settings within the Nvidia control panel.
What you see is what I get.

| How fast does it load at LOD 2 on a 680?
The quality in your screens is pretty nice. Almost looks photo realistic.

| I did it myself. Then I rendered it in Blender and merged the render with the screenshot in gimp. Then I edited the saturation, brightness and contrast, to make it fit the image and added the shadow. I wanted to experiment a bit...

That depends a lot on the FOV, stars, etc. Anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds up to 20 seconds to render the fine details in a complex scene. I also run a core i7 extreme cpu (Sandybridge E), overclocked, and 16 gigs of memory. Hugin may take about 10 seconds to create the panoramas. I'm impressed with SE and look forward to the enhancements.

O.O Is that with LOD 2 on?
Still though, since LOD 2 loads really slowly for me and the change is small, it's not really worth it for me to use LOD 2 very much.

How is the change small? The difference between LOD 1 and LOD 2 is huge, much bigger than the difference between LOD 0 and LOD 1. But it does take a long time to load, especially if you don't have high end hardware, so I would agree that it's usually not worth bothering with.

It just looks like not a real huge difference to be worth bothering with the long load times, or it might be that I'm comparing the difference with more distant terrain. With asteroids, it loads quickly since there isn't as much to load and if I don't move the camera on a planetary (or moon) surface, it's okay.
