Sorry, thats what I meant, if you are still curious as to seeing some more different approaches.
Also, just wanted to clarify about the orbits of the asteroids. is it like Saturn ring or Asteroid belt as am sure you mentioned planets. if it is a ring then definitely a bitmap approach until close up then still bitmaps as they are only micrometer > meter and you could squeeze a lot more smaller clumps onto a bitmap versus geometry does your engine do cloud gridss and can fly through them? I imagine an asteroid ring would be similar. On 14 February 2014 20:01, Matt Lind <ml...@carbinestudios.com> wrote: > It was solved even before I sent out the first message.
