Just curious as to whether there's any way to increase the drawing distance? I notice things made like 'freeform' have large playable area's... where you can see planets miles away. In my programs however anything over 2500? in object size is clipped.

Or do they get this effect by making the player really tiny and thus the playing size seems large?

Thanks for your help,

I'll try to get some pictures of my space sim so far soon.

One last thing - in some of the tech demo's I saw things with shiny surfaces? how is this done? is it in the 3d editor or a line of code?

Thanks,
Paul J

Nevermind I just made my model much much smaller... now a 5000 world sphere seems a massive place hehe
