I know there’s tiered graphics for the hardware you’re using.
It would be nice for those of us with nice GPUs to get even higher end graphics. I know the priority is cycling but it would make riding so much more pleasing than looking like a 20 year old video game.
I would like that too and there is proof in other apps that even on lower end devices, the graphics don’t need to look “virtual” or cartoon style.
Imagine if Zwift’s Ventop looked like this:
It uses Unreal Engine. There is another cycling app in development using the Unreal engine and it looks absolutely stunning, beautiful lighting and shadows, hands down blows everything else out of the water by miles, even the TdF game above doesn’t match it. It also looks like they can generate routes from real world data and then generate the scenery into it quite realistically.
Changing all of this in Zwift would be a massive job.
And yes, I know folks don’t like realistic graphics - but heaven help Zwift if those folk lose their realistic bike shadows!
