Grass

[Dannythm]

is this thread some kind of elaborate trolling?

You know all this focus on the grass is going to bite you in the ass when the character models end up needing more work to compensate.

My offer to make a mob out of the grass still stands.

Just when my image of this forum started to improve you come with this...

[Matsume]

You think you got grass problems?

Where I come from, Grass is a VERY BIG problem:



Where I come from, Grass eats you.

TL;DR, ARR grass still looks bad.

NO WORRIES SCRO, I GOT THIS!

It's undeniable that Grass in A Realm Reborn looks bad. And I am also sure that Yoshida and his Team know it very well, so in the future they will improve it. What is impressive is that the only bad aspect of Graphic seems to be Grass! It means that they did a very good job! Keep it up!

Dude just calm down guys. The game isn't out yet, and if you're going to not play because they grass doesn't look as good as you want, that is fine. It is still a modern game and it has high-quality textures and details built in. I'm sure the appearance of grass will fit the rest of the scenery and there will be detail options in the graphics settings that you can set to better looking or more horrid-looking grass depending on your device.

EDIT: The arguments that "this game doesn't look like that game" shouldn't be valid, because each game as their own pros and cons when it comes to graphics.

NDA \o/ but I made this thread in preparation that beta has no change, if you stay up to date on all things SE - the grass hasnt made some magical change from last gen to this gen (even some of last gen looks better).

And I dont think you get what I was exampling in those photos if you think I want ARR's graphics to look like them. I dont want them to look like that other game - since that game is a sandbox game (you can build wherever) the environments are quite flat.

I was showing the grass/fauna only - the technology or w.e you want to say, the strands are smooth and have a response to light to better blend, they actually have a short grass that is in large cohesive mass rather then singular dotted units (like ARR's)

Also ARR isnt high res, at all. They use tricks to make everything look great (except the grass) while using low resolutions. If you look at anything up close you can "see" the pixels. While the strategy is pretty cool for weak computers its not something I particularly care for, I'd rather have the detail. Of course how they design those textures they may not exist. However getting 4 models of grass right and changing their color up, I feel like I'm on the better path of compromise here.

Edit: my bad you said high quality, not high resolution - their textures are pretty cool for the resolution, but their resolution is pretty low. (also I never said I was going to quit or w.e - so no need to "calm" down)

Whats name to that game?
