krihelion 175 Posted June 11, 2013 Currently in ArmA, when you are flying over a forest or a bit far away, trees pretty much go 2d and dont fill out, and you can see right through bushes, grass, and pines. We have had troubles with this in the past with our ACE Realism Unit, sniper teams being spotted while they are hidden in trees with ghillies and hidden weapons, and is due to the rendering(correct me if im wrong on that word) of the brush. I realize it is a damper on the system, but will this be addressed in the stand alone? Realistically you should be able to be spotted from 500 meters while in a ghillie whilst in tall grass and a pine(not counting guns poking out, which is a pretty big give away). This is also how alot of people find camps, since, when you are looking for a camp spot, everything is rendered in completly an it looks pretty hidden, but actually about 300 meters away it is not hidden at all.Would be great to have a response, thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted June 11, 2013 Yes, everything rendered would be fantastic.Your framerate wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted June 11, 2013 And that's the main issue. It'd be nice to see a workaround but I fear it may have to stay as it is without crippling our PC's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16188 Posted June 11, 2013 Hello thereAre you asking specifically for the mod? Arma? or the SA?TBH I don't see any massive change soon as it seems to be an engine limitation.But, apparently there is/has been a mention of a shader work around on the BiS A3 forums which effectively shadows out/darkens distant forests under the canopy. It might be worth visiting there.RgdsLoK 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDesigner 1197 Posted June 12, 2013 I think another problem similar to this is when you fly over a forest, people seem to glow, even if hidden in a shadow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dayzo 182 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) people seem to glowIsn't the green/red glow because you're playing on a 'recruit settings' server? Edited June 12, 2013 by Anti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
