AstroCat Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The horizon is from Aris' mod. Found here: http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=fileinfo&id=2388 Couple things, I found the seams in Set 1 too distracting so I ended up using and liking Set 2 more. I don't use the clouds because I read they bug out the shadows (and they have enough issues on their own!). And I found the horizons too tall, it made it look like I was in bowl valley, so I took them in Photoshop and cut them down and now Set 2, sized down works very well! There are still some seams in Set 2 but they honestly do not bother me and are well worth the visual improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMiller Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Thanks AstroCat -- just what I wanted. And I now know why I hadn't seen this mod before or why I couldn't find it -- it's for CMFI, which is not yet in my library. Too bad there isn't something like this for CMBN...or...is there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Oh hey my mistake actually that link is for his CMFI version, here is the CMBN one you see above in this thread: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/4811/details He made one set for each game. I still think it needs to be cropped down a little bit. Here is a link to my shorter version in case you wanted to check it out. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4107203/Aris_CMBN_edited_mountains.rar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron Jacquinot Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Looks very nice, can it be useful with Aris terrain mod? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 One thing I did notice was the LOD switch goes back to the thicker trees so it can be a little odd. Is there a way to thin out the LOD tress as well so the transition is smoother? Thanks AstroCat, glad to hear you're enjoying them! I take it you're referring to the far trees, the ones that are 2D and billboarded, right? Yes, the alpha channel on the far tree bmps can be edited to make them not as full, but I have no interest in doing that. The amount of effort expended to edit them isn't really worth it imo; law of diminishing returns, since, well, they're far trees. You would also still get that jarring transition, since the LOD jump you're talking about goes from the 2D billboard trees to the 3D trees. Looks very nice, can it be useful with Aris terrain mod? Thanks baron. Yep, they can be used with Aris's terrain. Just be sure to download the desaturated version: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/4886/details Also, make sure they load last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ok, understood, if it really bothers me I'll jump in and do it but like you said probably not worth the effort. I've ended using a good portion of Aris' mod, my own, a mix of some others and your desaturated version, all looking really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
