Thank you Michael 8 hours ago, Holgi said: I'm curious what all still coming! how's it going Holgi the list of features and new functions we will bring with Black Marble is long, we are actually considering to limit some of the new function to avoid overwhelming our end users, Black Marble is very modular and extremely flexible with literally endless option to draw the night anyway you wish, some of the new functions and features were still not listed; we will publish these very soon as well, ill mention this... you can expect worldwide road network with traffic everywhere! cars with volumetric lights at night, and much more... worldwide! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+krazyk Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 This looks like a great global enhancement to the sim. It will definitely keep me happy until I see more dedicated NE regions. And oh, keep those screenshots coming! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marble Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hope the settings will allow you to get the streets bathing in a real 'orange' glow. Looking good and a great coverage option as I cant afford all the night environment areas so this will really be a big deal for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Chris Bell Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Black Marble includes in its arsenal a brand new 2016 worldwide road network vector data! the controls we provide are extremely refined; you will be able to draw the night in anyway you wish, black marble is like a painters brush,, you are the painter, Black Marble is your brush, and the night is your canvas, use Black Marble magic paint on your brush; you can do draw the night to your specific liking, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
