I've heard of tectonic plates shifting, never knew it would be that fast :D

I did also put this thread in the "Graphical and Sound Issues" subforum, because i don't know where it would be more appropriate.

    Umm... you know the white parts are clouds... right?

    :p But seriously, I don't see it. what seems off to you? Or are you talking about the texture of the ground? That does look a bit different in each shot.

    Yes, it's the ground texture moving to the left. Notice the darker blob on the island? That's nearly gone in the 3rd picture.
    I guess somwhow the layers that should be animated got mixed up. The ocean is still and the rocky surface is sliding to the left.

    Hmm... they're probably supposed to rotate at the same speed... but aren't.

    If that's the case then there wouldn't be a need for different layers, but maybe you're right. Could be all planets are derived from a base planet object, that has different layers, so as to make it more customizable later on.
  • markhawkmanmarkhawkman Member Posts: 35,236 Arc User
    Yeah, not sure either. It'd take a lot of comparative work to figure out what the layers exactly are and how many variants of each exist.

    That seems illogical to me. Just make the planet itself rotate.
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.

    Wait! You can just stop a planets' tectonic activity like that!? What sorcery is this?​​

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Just shoot the ground textures with your Krenim time weapon. Problem solved. :)

    You're going to regret that today, when that's stuck in your head not mine :p.​​
