   High detailed planet demo
I am building an engine that can render multiple planets in high detail.Currently I have a released a demo that can render 3 planets. You can travel between these planets. Several LOD algorithms are used to smoothly morph between details.The algorithm uses procedural texture generation, and adaptive meshes. On average about 80.000 triangles are visible.I'am currently improving the engine to render even more detail, and to optimize performance. Also I want the planets to be nicer further away.To download the demo:http://www.xwaytoonsoft.com/download.php#6Have fun and tell me what you think of it.   
  trace.txt givesERROR: Code failed in file 'D:\Prive\XEos3\C++\lib\modules\gl\program\gl_program.cpp', line 100: Errorthe loader works, but it crashes before I get any 3DI'm using a ATI Xpress 1150, could be because of the old shader model, I dunno.The screenshots look impressive tho, try to give em an atmosphere :D   ;  The extensions are available on your card so that's not the problem. Your card should be able to handle the job.The error means the ATI card cannot handle the fragment program I'am using. If this is an older ATI card its probably not completely OpenGL 2.0 compliant in this area. Maybe installing the latest drivers could solve the problem.Vista could give some problems too on older cards.   ;  Very nice!  A couple comments/questions though.  First when loading one of the selections, the loading message seems to appear a little faint and sort of looks like its behind the other text.  Second why can you not leave planets surface on the slowest movement speed?  Third, it takes a little while to go between the planets, for the demo could you put in faster movement?  Other then that great work and looks really nice.   ;  Exactly the same here :( I have an ATI X800XT. Tried both on WINE, and on Win XP with no luck. Looks nice though!!-EDIT: Hadn't seen the replies when i posted. I'll just give it a try with the latest drivers.-EDIT #2: No luck with Catalyst 7-8   ;  Gonna test with these ATI cards soon. If I find the problem I will upload the fixed version soon. Stay tuned.   ;  Damn man, this is pretty awesome!   ;  I have an ATI x1300 here and it worked just fine.Driver info:Driver Packaging Version8.401-070815m-052020C-ATICatalyst® Version07.8ProviderATI Technologies Inc.2D Driver Version7.01.01.6702D Driver File Path/REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000Direct3D Version7.14.10.0517OpenGL Version6.14.10.6747Catalyst® Control Center Version2007.0815.2326.40058;  Worked fine here too(Damn took long to travel form one planet to the next =P)Running winXP and ATI Radeon X1900
