I've made the Angel, the ship from which is derivated the Valkyrie... a scout ship... bigger, faster, stronger? naaaah, weak, crappy, but, ok, fast.

i hope they give it 32 bit colour  

[Setekh]

I think that would increase the size and RAM required of all textures used in game and hence increase the required hardware, and probably for not much increase in visual quality.

[wEvil]

i reckon 512x512 32 bit textures could be handled.

as well as some more fancy effects, who knows?
*cough...realvolumetrics*

512e2 textures can be done already, but they have to be in a 256 colour palette. Do we really need that my any colours? Starscapes may be different, because you can admire them, but most ships are flying past you quickly. I honestly don't think it's worth it for the ships.

[Carl]

when you are doing fancy ship textures it is. especially on caps hips since they dont go very fast and you get so colse to them you can notice the dithers and stuff.

[Nico]

32k... you want more than 256 colours on a single ship? use multiple maps, each map have its own palette of colour, so I think there's really no need of more colours.

the texture problem is evident on the FS2 Lucifer..

because it used decal maps and not tiled maps the "lack" of resolution makes it look pretty ugly.

512x512maps wouldn't tax an AGP4x system, even less one with a decent fillrate.

of course the addition of bump mapping channels, and maybe even another 8-bit channel for specularity would go down a treat.  But I don't think the FS2 engine as it is uses a complex shading model (is it textured goraud?)

Yeah you gotta watch out. Some of those caps have HUGE hips. Gotta lay off them twinkies.
