Is this system (and distant statics generally) currently being actively worked on by one or more contributors, or is it a longer-term plan that hasn't yet been started? I understand this is a massive task, and obviously everything will be "done when it's done" (tm), so I'm just curious as...

It's true that OpenMW remains wonderfully stable even when jacking up the ECLD to absurd levels, especially compared to the likes of Skyrim. Typically the only things noticeably affected are the frame rate and load times. That said, the planned dynamic LOD system for distant statics will likely be o...

It may not make a difference, but could you see how it performs on the latest nightly build?

"Terrain" in this case just refers to the overworld ground mesh. Everything else like grass, rocks and trees are considered objects. I guess you're looking for ways to mitigate Groundcover's huge performance cost. But keep in mind grass mod esp files were never meant to be used this way: t...

There is a fix on the table for the Blight sky transition as well as its direction. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is how it looks (bugged) in master vs vanilla . Now, the blight sky is intended to be flowing away from Red Mountain at all times. When the player is near this central p...

It's mentioned earlier in the thread. Morrowind used dynamically generated textures for its pixel-shaded water, as showcased in Nvidia's GDC2002 presentation.

I have at least 30 installations of OpenMW on my PC for testing purposes. Absurdly useful, and kudos to OpenMW for making it so easy.

Well. Now we know it's definitely doable. That's absolutely nuts.

Yes precisely raevol. It's quite an ingenious solution and one I hadn't heard before.

Sounds pretty genius actually. Although I get the feeling there's some inherent roadblocks with the way Morrowind's world is set up. Someone more intimately familiar with the engine could elaborate on that.
