What does it mean to paint the planet?
TL;DRPainting a planet now means an artistic color pass plus applying the other content needed to complete a planet, though the stream will mostly focus on height map creation rather than painting.
Painting a planet meant something else a year ago than what it does by now. As you know, we are constantly pushing the planet tech forward and all the features that are coming with it. Painting a planet means to first actually do an artistic paint pass, which means applying color to the planet. And then what it means as well is applying all the other pieces of content that are necessary to complete a planet as well through painting. And as I said, when we had the Star Citizen Live stream last time where painting was covered, all of these individual pieces of content, like the color, the objects and the ground materials, all of them were painted individually in individual passes. But since then, a lot of stuff has changed, and we will see some of the painting in this livestream as well, but I will not go into super much detail. But I will definitely show it off a little bit. What we will mostly focus on will be the height map creation, though.
