New Imposter System

Experience our game-changing real-time dynamic billboard technology called "Imposters" - an intelligent system that automatically generates optimized low-detail versions of your assets.

This rendering technique transforms complex foliage (with support for other types of scenery assets coming in future updates) into smart, camera-facing polygons that perfectly replicate the original 3D models while delivering:

  • Dramatically improved performance

  • memory optimizations

  • Seamless visual quality at distance

Plus additional bug fixes and optimizations
