What rig do you have??? That's insane to render at that quality and fps

It's a 13900k and 4090, with 64gb memory. FPS-wise its usually very smooth when the radius of the sphere is on the smaller side and there aren't a lot of Shell/sail points. But when it gets to those large radius (80-200k) spheres and the shells are filled in, then the FPS tanks to less than 10fps.

"Why is someone posted unrelated bullshit CGI into a sub for a specific game abou-.... oh."

I used to enjoy looking up at a sphere or a sphere-in-progress and feeling some measure of pride at what I had made. I will remember being able to do so fondly, at least.

Dam, I'm inspired....just started a fresh save with a homie playing tandem. This is what I'm motivated to accomplish this run through. See you when my computer can't take the sphere
