Update Speculation thread

Now that you mention it, I do see a slight difference!

This update's gonna be awesome, at least 1 new vehicle and pretty major skybox improvements!

 

And other graphics improvements. The terrain in the video looks so much less washed out.

 

Maybe improved anti-aliasing too?

It does look very crisp, but it's hard to tell whether that's just because it's in 4K or not

 

So another new teaser. It’s nice we’re getting volumetric clouds in 0.39, but I’ve always noticed that Johnson Valley looks a bit different in texture and graphics. Maybe they improved PBR for 0.39?

 

i feel like we're getting a graphics engine overhaul seeing that this teaser lines up with the first video since the 0.38 update's release:

Volumetric clouds! Noice!
I'm curious about seeing what the volumetric fog is gonna be like. A couple of weeks ago, I went for a night drive on the mountain roads outside my town and, just when I approached the uppermost point of the main road when returning, I ran into a thick cloud of fog and half of it was before the light poles at the uppermost point, signifying the descent from then on. Even with the high beams on (no fog lights at the front for me, just one at the rear) I could barely see the road markings (good thing I was on the upwards lane, which is actually two lanes, so I had extra space) and keep the car in lane and myself in check. It was my absolute first time and, let me tell you, it was terrifying!

I'm pretty sure BeamNG will be replicating this phenomenon with the intensity and the accuracy it deserves!

 

I wonder if volumetric clouds also means volumetric smoke? It would be nice to see the weird effects with headlights/taillights and smoke.

 

If the skybox will be different in 0.39, do you think there will be different skybox for the night ? With high stars resolutions ?

 

I believe the effect is atmospheric scattering; for example, on a clear, blue-sky day, the sky appears whiter near the horizon. And it seems to be MUCH improved in this updated skybox.

 

That would be very nice, especially seeing the exhaust smoke and dust go around the car

 

Better water physics would be awesome, right now you can drop a 30 ton steel coil from 500 feet and there is nothing but a tiny splash. It still looks gorgeous and has really nice sounds, though!

 

I'd love this! Plus full moon, sun eclipse, shooting star and, of course, rainbow effects!!

 

so thank good ATM the clouds just look like a Smogg haze, still feels like summer as there is no darkness added when the sun is Covered, Vs tesaer you can see what happens when the Clouds cover the sun,

Sorry if non of this makes scene am tired lol

 

Honestly theres somthing they did that makes it look real

 

Man, I really hope this stuff happens soon

 

Conconut may have some relation to the planned "Capybara" car. The name itself was not chosen but perhaps a similar tropical theme remains?

 

Sorry to post ( again ) But coconut seems to be a weather station or forecasting thing, its a vague long shot, but that is how beamng does teasers now,
So weather update ? *( and new car )

 

Dynamic weather?

 

Dynamic weather would be great, going on drives in the rain or in the snow. Also would be cool if it impacted tire physics

 

Volumetric clouds AND a new car ???

Damn ... They are cooking more than Jesse and Mr White themselves!
