new Ia Drang Valley

ThruYerStErNuM posted in Official Forum several screenshots of his work on a new Ia Drang Valley ‘island’.

It’s not really an island, it is made to be a realistic recreation of the area around the ia drang valley. It will be many times bigger than the SEB ia drang valley, and have all new foliage and landscape textures. All landscape textures will be 1024x1024 because that DOESN’T hurt performance noticeably. Also, if you use very large weed/foliage objects, you can have what looks to be many more objects on an island when really only having the same number of objects as smaller islands have. The trick to making the island not lag is then just in making good LODs so that distant jungles have much lower quality textures and less polygons.
