technical background
The terrain is divided into fields where each has its own material assigned. Based on these materials the terrain texture and particle effects are calculated.
OGG-Sounds are issued 3-dimensionally, which provides the necessary atmosphere.
The objects are illuminated per-vertex and have a static or dynamic shadow, according to what is needed. Interpolated keyframes are used for their animations.
The detailed degree of all graphic effects is adjustable: Textureresolution, reflexion details of the water,...
All dynamic objects, like the vehicles, stones and so on, are simulated with the the Newton Physics Engine
