I am going to set it to none cause I hate it....
Or if I do set it it will be differant.. Speedtree isnt free..

I was just joking around.
There are plenty of other free alternatives to SpeedTree that you could probably adapt to your engine.
Like PagedGeometry for Ogre3D.
EDIT:
Also, I wouldn't just set it to none. LOD is usually a key feature. Oblivion, GTA IV, Crysis, etc. all use LOD. I just think you need a new terrain LOD algorithm. Even in Crysis though it isn't perfect. (You can see trees popping into view, and minimal terrain popping.)

Yeah thing is I cant really change it that much..
And I'll have to look at this pagedgeometry..
Here's a new screenshot of specular mapping:

that's pretty nice.
though shouldn't the sunlight be spread out more evenly on the entire surface? not just the disk?

Yeah it should be but that was the only object I had with a specular map I dont really know how to make one..
Well I kinda do but I am not artist..

Yeah IDK I think it looks okay.
Here's a screenshot of a soccerball. Just some effects done to it too make it looks uber sweet ie specular mapping and bumpmapping.
Edit: Why not release it...

Looks good, though a little grainy.

Are those clouds volumetric, or baked into a skybox? If volumetric, then what algorithm do you use?

Clouds are looking very well, and the grate on the walkway is nice too!

Are those edges supposed to be wavy? they aren't actually under water, right?
