most people can't tell the difference between 2D clouds and 3D clouds If you think you can call better shaped, denser emission of 2D billboard graphics a "3D cloud"... well, good luck. I have yet to see a true 3D mesh cloud. Why? Because it's no point making one. Good copy of RL cirrus shape of multilevel emitters for single cloud would take minutes to render I guess. Remember, alpha-based materials rendering is still pain in a** for modern average Joe computer edit: correcting my previous post -yes I've seen 3D clouds... back in the first half of the 90s (Su-27 demo, F-117 2.0, Tornado... been there done that)

Two A-6E SWIP Intruders from VA-34. Lead aircraft is a CAG bird carrying the AGM-65F Maverick and AGM-84E SLAM. The same CAG bird firing a SLAM Two A-6E TRAM Intruders in low visibility markings flying low level over Southeast Asia A-6A of VA-85 with improved tail logo Two more A-6E SWIPs, this time from the VA-75 Sunday Punchers And last, but not least, the A-6 models now have landing lights and ventral anti-collision lights! These may be stock models, but they are not your stock intruders! See here for my A-6 Superpack.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

And thus we learn that SkateZilla has no idea how antialiasing works. you must be trying to hint that i dont know that Anti Aliasing is for super sampling 3d rendering sequences to smooth edges and remove artifacts. dont get me started on Strike Fighters : Project ML. hrmm, Testing my old screens in 2x Eyefinity (3 24 inch 1080p screens will be setup this weekend):
