Version Update 9.0 Preview II 20 Sept 2007 Check out some new screen shots from the upcoming Version Update 9.0 avatar enhancements. http://www.entropiauniverse.com/en/rich/5078.html http://account.entropiauniverse.com/pe/en/rich/6866.html Version Update 9.0 is getting closer. This time we thought we would share some In-World scenes of the new Avatar Creation and Armor/Clothing upgrades. The improvements include: Increased Polygon Count Higher Resolution Texture Maps Normal Mapping Technology Reflective and Glossy Surfaces Redesigned Armor/Clothes/Avatar Dynamic Level of Detail Technology, which allows crowds of hundreds of simultaneous avatars to be in one place while maintaining a good frame rate. Advanced Shader which allows realistic combinations of leather and colored clothes A graphics card with Pixel Shader 3.0 will give the best results. Lesser graphic cards are still supported according to the Minimum System Requirements. Don't forget to take your before and after pictures.
Frank from MindArk when asked about when the VU will appear says, "Yep, VU 9.0 in early October!" Woohoo :yahoo: This should be a fun VU to see all the nice improvements to the graphics. :D
It certainly will be a VU to remember! :D PS. However no one will ever convince me that the first armor on the left (the (F) one) will provide any protection. If EU is trying to be like RL, then this is totally ridiculus... Sorry MA but -rep on this from me... :(
I just keep my fingers crossed and hope EU will still run on my laptop. Cant improve my graphicscard :-(
However, I do like to see more armour of that kind [-o< It improves gameplay and makes up for the loss of PED's :D
Oh yeah! Finaly some facial hair! I gonna get full beard, But ya won't see it 'cause I always wear mask! :D
Some new pictures were added to this page. http://account.entropiauniverse.com/pe/en/rich/6866.html I hope the new graphics really look like this ingame, that would be awesome. :)
jdegre has kindly posted this link at EF for a powerpoint file which shows some of the new graphics, ftp://ftp.entropiauniverse.com/temp/ENTROPIA_POWERPOINT/David_powerpoint_UPDATE.ppt It is a powerpoint file, so you need to be able to show .pps files if you want to view it.
Or you might like to view all the pictures that Recoda kindly posted from this file, as well as pictures from an EU promotional CD, at http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83750
Gratz Burgerman - well found :) I wonder if there is a great deal of speculation going on at the moment as to which items are likely to increase in value in the new VU. Given that previously duff looking items may become mega-sexy overnight - this seems like a normal EU style windfall. ;)
Wow. It is looking better and better in my head. I hope it wouldn't get that good or I will move in too Entropia and forget about real life. Gratz to MA
