| Quote SpaceEngineer (  ) main of them is impossibility to have various fonts.
My interface skin contains only one font (Calibri). Or do you mean you can't use anything else than the current one?

it contains text of various size and italic/non-italic.

| Quote SpaceEngineer You are asking to model rivers. You must know this is impossible task for pure procedural fractal generation. Only erosion post-process may model something river-looking (for steep slopes like volcano it actually must give nice results). Wait for SE 1.0 for this feature.
If it helps:
I have found a paper that explains how to perform proceudural generation of terrains accounting for hydrological processes
By the way, I've encountered a person that is trying to simulate the erosion caused by hydrological processes post-process and is quite awesome how well the terrain gets after the erosion. It could be added for polar ice caps on planets or glaciers (that are easily eroded) or for terrains on planets with corrosive atmospheres and rain.

That video reminds me of this Chrome Experiment, called Craftscape.

| Hi all,
I'm dedicated to SE 3D interaction, using twin projector setup and a big silver screen (polarized set, simultaneous L+R projection).
3D setup parameter "stereobase" is static, so no way to find a value good for both planet and galaxy type objects.
Any chance to make it automatically variable when interacting with objects of various size ?

No. This has been discussed earlier. Automatic change of the stereobase will look strange when you trying to zoom between planets or galaxies. And this is not easy to decide the needed value of the stereobase in the code.

| The "new method" was the one that you implemented in 0.9.7.1 or... a new one again? 
Also, I like so much the 4th one! It would be nice to see its job on some other kind of surfaces or distances.

| Looks like you're out doing yourself again SpaceEngineer. Fantastic work and I can't wait for the next version.

| Implemented support of the Oculus Rift DK2 positional tracknig and the "Direct mode" (SDK-driven rendering). All became very smooth! Direct mode is highly recommended for now!

Zoom could (and should) be ignored, as it's known that telescope does not provide 3D view of distant objects.
The active stereobase could be a selectable 'percentage' of distance between viewer and currently selected object.
I bet also O'Rifters would benefit from this !

That sounds like a reasonable approach, though it could get very weird when you approach a planet and it seems to grow before you, or when you change selection and the universe crunks to a different scale suddenly.
Still, with some finessing - perhaps a transition of a few seconds between scales, and a cut-off at human scale - I think that would be neat.
I don't think the static human option should be removed, though - sometimes you want to just feel the distance.

I don't think Space Engineer meant "zoom" in the optical sense - just as a synonym for "travel".
