.

The first .png is of the on-going development "Trunk" (NOT an official release yet) which features Gerard's new Terrain Render Engine.

The second .png is the old terrain renderer still used in the recent official stable release binary - v. 2.2.1

When the development "Trunk's" new Terrain Render is ready for prime time it will be release binary v. 2.3

Regards, whip :cool:

To clarify what whippersnapper said, the first .png file was made using an alpha version of 2.3.

Looks very good!

Will water look better too?
Perhaps with reflections? (Vertex-, Fragmentshader)
