And in the case of 7DS, be sure to not have all your setting on very high else it crash... be sure to have enough ram... 2gb ram is enough for enable the mod but will crash very fast... Always good to make a post with your problem in the topic related to the mod or if they have one, on the forum from the mod...

Reply to Suggestion for Current Graphical Overhaul (Unique Looking Planets, Structures, and Ships) in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Rebellion will be using shader 3.0... who allow geometry instancing... vertex data is duplicated across all instanced meshes, each instance may have other differentiating parameters (such as color, light or skeletal animation pose ) changed in order to reduce the appearance of repetition. Problem is the actual structure where the texture reference are included in the .mesh ... second problem, it the memory limit... it mean that each mesh will have plenty of texture set to choose from.

The planet mesh work like a ship mesh... you have first the model itself... second, you have a box who include all the mesh... third, you have a sphere centered at 0,0,0 who include the box... The box is a non fly zone, the sphere is a non fly zone except for little thing like fighter/bomber... In case of planet, the bounding radius define the surface of the planet, not the mesh itself... the area between the surface and where you can begin place orbital structure or navigate
