It won't clash if we get rid of urban textures in the long term. In my opinion the best visual quality can be reached if we give every generic and none generic 3d object a couple of ground textures that match like in the tetravex game screenshot example (see other e-mail) with all the other generic 3d object textures by selecting the right one. The good thing about this approach would be, that you could really go into detail and you would have a natual visual representation where everything harmonizes. Though, this approach would need a lot of processing power. > I took a slightly different approach - a different material for the > rough: > > http://www.stockill.net/Junk/newscenery/fgfs-screen-023.png > http://www.stockill.net/Junk/newscenery/fgfs-screen-024.png > http://www.stockill.net/Junk/newscenery/fgfs-screen-029.png > > It works for parks too: > > http://www.stockill.net/Junk/newscenery/fgfs-screen-020.png Your approach might met real data, but it looks unnatural. If we ever want to have a natural looking visual quality, then this can be only reached by an approach with matching textures on todays hardware. You're approach might look natural in 200 years, when we have the right hardware and petabytes of real data for it, but not now and not in 20 years. That's the problem i see here.
