I am working on an opportunity to upgrade a driving simulator and the customer
is particularly interested in rendering fidelity of the roadway signs. Does
anyone know any tips/tricks for maximizing legibility at a distance and/or
modeling the reflective properties of the sign lettering?

The customer is currently using an old Star Technologies image generator with
separate high intensity slide projectors with gymballed mirrors to project the
signs.

If we can get textured polygons to look as good as the projected images, the
Onyx2 sale is a done deal!
