Outerra, what is it?
Outerra is a unique 3D rendering engine, a world rendering engine capable to seamlessly render whole planets from space down to the surface. It can use arbitrary/varying resolution of elevation data that it further dynamically refines using fractal algorithms. The fractals try to mimic natural processes, generating fine, believable terrain with high resolution. The world is also being dynamically textured and populated with vegetation using predefined land type material sets and the computed terrain attributes.

Like everything else that looks awesome, it probably won't be released for a long long time. :/

That warning is unneeded, The files are only 200kb not 20mb.

Like I said, stolen word for word. Fixed now though.

Woah wait, are these randomly generated 3D worlds?


My mind is blown.
When exactly is this coming out?

Wurm on this engine.

Sorry about your erection.

looks like a demanding game

From what I've seen he's running it on a decent rig, the only specifics I could find is that he's using a GTX 480/460 though

These aren't the bumps you're looking for.

Really need to get around to buying a new computer
