Yeah, it looks really cool. And I love the ZeroG config file. Doesn't help me much, but it's a great feature.

Is this demo planned to be used somewhere?

thanks guys. it is quite slow, but ill get around to optimizing it. it will be used as the sky backdrop for zero gtr. it'll still get some tweaking, like different colors, maybe layer the clouds a bit differently. but its pretty far along.

Stuck to 23-24 fps here, but very nice effects. Morehover, the frame rate doesn't change when changing resolution. Is it capped?

thanks paulvern: the frame rate is capped to 60 yea.

here is a new version with some better layering and coloring. not sure if i'll keep the inner set of objects or not. i might change the model to something else

I love the new colors. It seems also faster to me. Just a strange thing I've noticed. I've added a sound to my system every time the graphic cards uses direct3d and I can hear the sound when launching the 'near' version, but not when launching the 'far' version. The near version is also faster... Different libraries?

My system seems quite powerful to me (Athlon 64 3700 + Ati radeon x800 gto2) but still stuck to 25 fps... Are you sure it's not capped to that?
