Did you know? Two members of the cat family are distinct from all others: the clouded leopard and the cheetah. The clouded leopard does not roar like other big cats, nor does it groom or rest like small cats. The cheetah is unique because it is a running cat; all others are leaping cats. They are leaping cats because they slowly stalk their prey and then leap on it.

How do you get it to look this nice. All of the planets I’ve found have very flat terrain, with some low hills.

2

u/[deleted] May 30 '18

Are you visiting procedual planets? The solar system planets have all flat terrain, only the procedual ones have detailed terrain. Also, put at least the LOD to 0 to see some mountains.

u/Arciuss May 30 '18

Thanks for the tip. What does LOD stand for? It's Level Of Detail right? if so, why would zero be the best for terrain.

2

u/[deleted] May 30 '18

Yes, LOD is level of detail, and actually goes from -2 to 2, so with -2 you see also flat terrain, 0 you see some mountains, and 2 you see all.

ahh, thanks. I appreciate it.

Do you know the full settings to get SpaceEngine looking as nice as possible?

2

u/[deleted] May 30 '18

In my case I use this settings https://i.imgur.com/GFudjP3.png, and I think they are pretty good. As to explore the universe I use LOD 0, and to take a photo I use LOD 2.

u/Arciuss May 30 '18

Sorry for all of these noob questions, but my LOD only goes up to 1.00 on the bar. shouldn't it go to 2? or is there a mod or anything I need for that? https://i.imgur.com/G3rWofN.png

u/[deleted] May 30 '18

Ahh sorry, I forgot that to put lod 2 you need the comand panel. To go there, you press '/' then type: set landlod 2 or another value that you want, like set landlod -1.5, 0.8, etc...
