These pictures have been rendered on an MFD in-game. It uses a type of raytracing to find where the pixel will intersect the terrain and calculates its color and shading. It takes about 1 second to render a low res image of 32x32 pixels, but it takes about 10 minutes to render 1024x1024
@GoldenShadowGS Hmm, kay. I don’t really understand Vizzy, but what you do is amazing.
@NebulaX Most of the time is spent casting rays to find the surface normals for shading. the colors are faster to get.
Black and white images might save time in the process. And, it would be cool for a replica of some rocket launch.
@GoldenShadowGS Unity added ray casting, but it hasn’t been added to SR2, tho. They might put it into a Vizzy, thing, but I don’t know.
