Would be nice to do a Ringworld again. We have progressed over the last five
years, or so I hope :-)
I don't remember well now, was that epsilon issue fixed/corrected in version
3.7 or not? At the time we had a rapid patch of 3.6 I seem to remember...

Haven't touched mine for a while. Perhaps its time to haul it out again :)

I think the smaller epsilon was to be included in 3.7. This was a few years ago
now so I guess it's in there... either have a peek at the source or try to
render something vast!

Doom III was way BAD. They totaly sacrified playability to athmosphere :(
Even in the living abitats and working areas, where a good lighting is
vital, you had great dificulty seeing things. Another bad thing: it
overrode your gamma/contrast/brightness settings and did not restore
those on exit.

I realy like your new end cap. I also like that you now have more
vegetation space.
But:
Why is the ground faceted and not smoothly curving?
Still to many road vehicles. The ONLY vehicles should be utility and
public transportation, and positively NO personal ones.
On a space station, any space station, even an imensly huge one,
resources are inherently scarce. Living space, parks space, working
space, cargo space, air, water, raw and rafined materials, energy,
everything is counted and counts. Personal cars are a waste of
resources, and thus frowned uppon.
Juging by the dimentions of the buildings and other indices, I could
relatively easily walk from one end to the other to get to work and back
home. I could even walk back home for my lunch... After all, it looks
like the overall length is less than about 2Km, or about a 10 to 20
minutes walk. In such a case, taking a car would take about the same
amount of time... and using a bike would reduce the time needed to 5
minutes or less. (I need about 20 minutes to walk about 3Km. Most
peoples have a walking speed ranging from 5 to 7Km/h)

Yes, that is what I thought too. I'll do something vast... :-)

Two new renders. One from last night showing the atmosphere and rounded
portal to outside. And one from just a few minutes ago showing the
curved (as well as some new) buildings.

Just to test, a quick-and-dirty scene from the past, rapidly adapted to 3.7,
without any atmospheric effects at all, and viewed from close to the
Ringworld floor.
No epsilon artefacts indeed. Maybe time to produce something better now...
:-) Time allowing, I intend to take up the project again.
