PBR! PBR! 🙂

[warm thorn]

Once you have obtained all the scene objects in PBR, you can utilize my rtx.conf file to achieve a similar result as shown in my screenshot.

[warm thorn]

I have created my own Python script similar to Kim's RemixTools. It includes additional functions such as automatic deletion and addition of references, automatically inserting the "custom int preserveOriginalDrawCall = 1" parameter, editing instance inst_XXXXXXXXXX in Omniverse, and automatically applying it to mesh mesh_XXXXXXXXXX objects. I plan to release my version after fixing some bugs.

[jaunty kestrel]

So will you make full map pbr?:)

[jaunty kestrel]

haha its not pbr its just the perpixel lighting cleo script

because it can find where the sun is at

so with that script pbr basically work just how it normally would look 😉

[jaunty kestrel]

but pbr would basically make it look like how GTA IV reacts on the ground 🙂

its awesome that with the script you can adjust this sun lighting’s intensity

looks like ENB but lot better and i think with pbr map it will look literally - wow

so basically look

its awesome that real skybox work too

[jaunty kestrel]

so can you literally make the full map to have PBR like renderhook ?

[warm thorn]

Yes, as I mentioned earlier, all the objects in the scene have been enhanced using AI upscaling for PBR textures, including some custom textures.#1097105394821759006 message

[jaunty kestrel]

Maan thats fucking awesome!

It will be mind blowing imagine real skybox and real linear graphics is compatible too

[jaunty kestrel]

and with this directional sun position fix.. man it will lookk like GTA IV:SA ray traced lol

its awesome that remix is dx9 so its basically so compatible with anything

ped spec.asi fixes the players too, fucking awesome

[jaunty kestrel]

But btw, the black stripes you mentioned can be fixed with marking the car dirt textures as decals too !

[warm thorn]

I have tried but couldn't fix it in my game. Can you share your rtx.conf file? That way, I can compare our settings and see what the differences are.

After I separated some materials into different usda files, some PBR materials are not visible in the game.

[jaunty kestrel]

I didnt tried it yet but it should work

or when you use imvehft the dirt and textures getting replaced in another way, maybe try with that

but i dont think you should, because your back lights and stufss already look bettrr

[jaunty kestrel]

i mean couldnt find the dirt tex btw

[jaunty kestrel]

U should try using one usda i think only

[jaunty kestrel]

cant wait till his pack, imagine

[jaunty kestrel]

imagine these env mods once @warm thorn will made every textures have pbr and cars and lights fix

[shy wind]

@jaunty kestrel

[jaunty kestrel]

it will be mind blowing btw.

[vale lava]

what is pbr?

[jaunty kestrel]

wow

how the fuck the directional per pixel lighting mod looks this good

[vale lava]

idk if its possible but have you tried installing skybox mod on it?

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah real skybox works, but bro @fiery girder instead of turning off denoiser u can try messing with tonemap settings to get rid of blurred shadows

[jaunty kestrel]

can you save ur rtx conf and send it here with this exact settings?

U dont need to use the cleo script btw to get the sun to work now, just enable it in silentpatch.

[fiery girder]

Night time

[jaunty kestrel]

verynice settings

[fiery girder]

at night there are some weird lights also blinking...

[warm thorn]

If I only use one USD file, it becomes challenging to manage when multiple people are creating different assets.

[fringe slate]

How did you get your night to look like that? mine looks like this

[fringe slate]

What did you do to get the performance great on this? I used to get 40 fps on dlss perf?

[fiery girder]

This is drone view that's y looks different plus weird lighting for me at night...

Do you have solution for weird night time lighting fix

@jaunty kestrel can u post ur results

[fringe slate]

Did you do anything to improve the performance?

[fiery girder]

Just change the dlss to performance or balanced

[fringe slate]

I swear i never used to get that much fps even on performance

[jaunty kestrel]

@fiery girder i fixed ur present , u dont have to disable denoising

[fiery girder]

how

[jaunty kestrel]

just enable the directionall ighting in silentpatch and increased fixed light intensity

and mess with tonemapping

but bw @warm thorn i marked all dirt textures as decals too but no change, idk why

[fiery girder]

ok share ur config

[jaunty kestrel]

turn this on

[fringe slate]

still doesn't look right

[jaunty kestrel]

lol

adjust tonemapping

it doesnt matter anyway, u can use linear timecyc and so many stuff, what matters rn to fix black stripes of cars

[fiery girder]

ur setting is worse

[jaunty kestrel]

no i just didnt applied tonemapping right

[fringe slate]

Annoying thing with my game is that the textures seem to change the more I play

[fiery girder]

u shared ur config aftre ruining it

[fiery girder]

dosent look like this

thanks

[fringe slate]

IDEK what is going on anymore

[jaunty kestrel]

dont try my preset its messed up

i will share it once @warm thorn will be done with the pbr and car refs 🙂 it will look like gta v since it will have clouds too

[jaunty kestrel]

btw, this is da power of PBR 🙂

( this is renderhook dx11 NOT remix)

but btw @fringe slate @warm thorn the black stripes of cars easily can be removed once a dev insist into the problem just a bit

https://images.app.goo.gl/ddS1Uc9qehzm3Gjx6

why the fuck this looks so photorealistic lol

imagine upscaled pbr of original textures on THIS DAMN

the texture wouldnt change only its properties, that would be literally awesome

lol i will buy this from this guy

and then use this road tex as all main roads lol

mostly

cuz its so realistic

upscale it then use it on most roads lol

or ask him if he can overdo whole LS

(but there actually lot of already done environment mods for sa)

but not much like this one. tho

so good

[jaunty kestrel]

but yeah, anyway, some gta v textures would look the same lol

its just the grass on the sidewalk and the buildings

all this possible with modding lol

man, so amazing

it just looks very realistic because of the green overlay , looks like matrix demo already lol

i dont think yal understand how awesome it will be once the full map will have pbr , like damn !

[jaunty kestrel]

idk abt yall but rn im getting black screen

fucking irritating

oh it wasnt remix it was the game

bro i give up, it works on the first try when installing remix into it then it stops, no output

fucking frustrating

yesterday it never bugged out like this ! wtf

but im sure updating graphics driver will fix it

[jaunty kestrel]

and yep, that was it. dont try to update ur card with geforce experience

BRO THERES NO WAY IT STILL CRASHES WHAT THE FUCKK

unbelieveable

it just wont work no matter what i try, silentpatch or samp addon, no worky

xd

[fiery girder]

delete evrything inside User/Appdata/Local/modloader

this will clear cache

if still dosent work try deleting rtx.config

[jaunty kestrel]

oh shit thank u

still crash rn

idk wtf happened to remix

or sa or my pc lol

idk wtf happened to the game, i tried portable and steam ver. , samp addon, silentpatch, even updated gpu drivers like before, and black screen still

[warm thorn]

I have discovered that the issue is caused by the setting "rtx.skyBoxTextures" in the "rtx.conf" file. After removing the "rtx.skyBoxTextures" setting from the "rtx.conf" file, the game is able to run again.

[jaunty kestrel]

Oh nice,!

[warm thorn]

I have assigned many windows to glass materials. PBR broken glass can have transparency and reflection simultaneously, but normal window glass cannot achieve this result. I'm unsure why. However, normal window glass can display transparency and reflection simultaneously in Omniverse.

[warm thorn]

Buildings windows with real reflection

[gaunt sluice]

hello, when i start gta sa with rtx i get this error:

NvRemixBridge.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point vkGetBufferDeviceAddress could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Jatekok\Rockstar Games\rtx nvremix gta sa.trex\d3d9.dll.

OK

[fringe slate]

You'd need all the textures aswell which isn't available yet

[jaunty kestrel]

He almost done, he assigned in the usdas so it will be any (re)texture dependant

🙂

[jaunty kestrel]

magyar barát

[warm thorn]

I am creating a script to help your guys achieve a result similar to my screenshot without using AI upscaled textures. To do this, I need to navigate through the map and collect all the texture hashes. These hashes will be assigned to a non-reflective roughness texture. Thanks to the multilayer properties in Pixar USD format, we can still apply remastered textures on top of the roughness layer. If you're interested, I would appreciate your help with this task.

[jaunty kestrel]

btw i think frameratevigilante&mixsets&silentpatch is at least what needed for remix to run good.

[fringe slate]

@warm thorn How are you able to change the glass on cars when Omniverse won't allow me to remove materials from an instance?

[warm thorn]

If anyone wants to help with the project, you can place this script in your "GTASA folder\rtx-remix" folder and run it (Python needs to be installed on your system). Running the script will generate a diff_file.data, which you can open with a text editor and copy all the hashes to send to me. Alternatively, you can simply send the generated file to me.

[warm thorn]

To make changes, you must edit the actual mesh object naming format is mesh_XXXXXXXXXX.

[warm thorn]

thanks

Once you have executed the script, you can include the "rough_only.usda" file in your mods.usda and utilize my rtx.conf file to achieve a similar result as shown in my screenshot.

After collect some texture hash to put in the rough_only.usda, I will publish my first GitHub repository tonight.

I forgot to disable the highlighting of legacy materials. This version is the correct one.

[warm thorn]

Windows now have both reflection and transparency, but as a trade-off, certain body parts may disappear. What would you prefer:
1.windows with reflection but some parts disappear
2.fully transparent windows without reflection

[jaunty kestrel]

first lol

[teal turret]

Hey, am I supposed to download nvidia rtx seperately somehow? I have no idea how it works but I tried following the steps on your github and when I open the game nothing seems to have changed

I just added the remix-0.2.0 files to the game and nothing seems to happen

Am i supposed to downgrade? I havent done anything to the game files except download your gta sa remix folder and the rtx remix 0.2.0 files

[fringe slate]

Well I'd recommend downgrading for a mod that makes the game more compatible with remix

[warm thorn]

In order to run the game with RTX-Remix, you need to downgrade to version 1.0.

[shy wind]

latest remix/bridge/dxvk, i downloaded mods needed, rtx.cfg in game folder

[warm thorn]

copy capture folder "capture\texture" folder to "rtx-remix\captures\textures"

[shy wind]

yeap figuret out just when u type it, but still

[warm thorn]

place rtx.conf to your game folder

your sky setting is wrong, i think you copy rtx.conf to the other folder...

[shy wind]

rtx.conf is in game folder, yeap sky wrong

[warm thorn]

Press Alt+X in game, in the RTX-GUI what is your sky Tuning skip First N untexture drawcalls value?

[shy wind]

man its ur cfg, and it is 1, i will try reinstall everything, becouse when i scroll through textures in remix i cant find textures connected to skybox

[warm thorn]

Which mods do you currently have installed?

[shy wind]

only thoose that ur github reccomends

[warm thorn]

The original GTASA does not include a real skybox, so you won't be able to find it in the game.

You could try adjusting the "skip First N untextured drawcalls" setting to a higher value and see if it solve the problem

[shy wind]

You need to change your folder structure to smth like this, where u have rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets, same as nfsu2 guys did. Know that is more comfortable for now share the one folder but yeah

[fringe slate]

I had the game working mostly fine on the normal steam version although there were some visual issues with it

[shy wind]

ok here it is, ive deleted all mods only essential are installed, after number 18 sky finnally works

[fringe slate]

But I'm happy that this is finally released so I can start working on SA again without random textures in the wrong spot

[warm thorn]

To streamline the process, I plan to create a batch file that automates certain tasks. Currently, the "rtx-remix" folder contains numerous Python scripts and unnecessary files. However, I am unable to share the entire "rtx-remix" folder at the moment.

[fringe slate]

What version of remix dxvk is used?

[warm thorn]

I recently updated to the latest version approximately three days ago.

[warm thorn]

Still have no color car?

[fringe slate]

Has the rail texture been changed?

[shy wind]

no colors still, btw can you share screenshot how your modloader folder looks like?

[warm thorn]

If I recall correctly, I haven't replaced the texture yet. I believe I'm still working on it using Photoshop.

[fringe slate]

The annoying thing I found with it is the shadows are baked into the texture

[warm thorn]

Yes, I noticed that in a location near the beach, I observed a house where the shadow of the staircase is connected to the actual staircase.🤣

[shy wind]

love how broken gta sa is 😍

[fringe slate]

Yeah I have that issue

[warm thorn]

you need to capture frame in usd to get back the correct texture

[fringe slate]

What I've noticed with that issue is it doesn't happen straight away but when I unloaded the area and came back

[jaunty kestrel]

dont change too much of his rtx conf

its not sa, its remixs fault

[warm thorn]

Alternatively, you can try using the pin message method and see if it resolves the issue.

[fringe slate]

I have an issue aswell where I go under a traffic light and the whole game turns to the colour of that traffic light

[warm thorn]

That's strange i already mark all terrain texture with/without car mods

[warm thorn]

To address the issue, you can enable the ignore directional light option. However, please note that currently there is no sunlight during the daytime, so the problem cannot be resolved at the moment.

[shy wind]

turned off textures> capture frame> turn on again > not fixed(

[warm thorn]

How about restart the game is it still load the wrong texture?

[shy wind]

each restart it loads diffrent wrong texture, i will try reinstall it again, with only sky box, and vechile mods, i think its caused by npc and carl retexture mods, will try and see UPD: no diffrence its broken, maybe game is switching texture hash, so when remix is loading smth not from gamereadyassets, but from captures, its loads wrong textures, the only way to fix it will be replace all textures i gueeeeeees

[fringe slate]

missing textures?

But when it does work I love the textures

[warm thorn]

Are you familiar with how to use "git pull"? You can try renewing the assets by doing so. It's possible that you may not have obtained all the capture textures. maybe I didn't upload all the texture when you are downloading

[fringe slate]

I'm somewhat familiar with it

Who made the textures?

[warm thorn]

With the exception of my recreated textures, the rest of the textures I use are AI upscaled

[fringe slate]

Seemed to have fixed the issues by moving the captures I didn't know that it was necessary for the mod

[warm thorn]

For the majority of textures, I primarily utilize CC0 Textures obtained from various texture websites. However, for certain building textures, I manually create them using Photoshop. The remaining low-detail textures are the original ones from the game. The AI upscaled textures amount to approximately 50GB in size and take over 6 hours to upscale to PBR (Physically Based Rendering) using an RTX 4090. Due to the large file size, it may not be feasible to upload all the textures to GitHub. The simplest option would be to utilize a tool like ChairNNer to locally upscale the textures on your own computer.

[fringe slate]

Idk what the issue is. I started here and looked normal but going to unity station and coming back...

[warm thorn]

memory issue?

[fringe slate]

it could be

[warm thorn]

You can try reducing the resolution of the terrain textures to conserve memory, as they tend to consume a significant amount of memory.

[fringe slate]

It appears to be a memory issue i'm not surprised since I only have 6gb

[warm thorn]

Perhaps you can set the resolution to 1024, but please note that doing so may result in subpar car reflections at times.

[fringe slate]

I've set it to 1024 and that has reduced my usage but the issue still seems to be occuring

Now the Vram usage is staying at 68% instead of 86%

Issue still seems to occur

[warm thorn]

I suggest restarting the game and closing any background applications, especially web browsers like Chrome or Edge. Sometimes, when these applications are running in the background, they can cause the same issue.

[warm thorn]

Here's a potential solution to fix the texture issue. Please note that it may not work all the time, but sometimes it can resolve the problem.

[warm thorn]

Apologies, everyone. I need to shut down the current GitHub repository and create a new one. I will share the link to the new GitHub repository once it is ready.

[fringe slate]

Why? are you redoing the folders for a drag and drop install?

So where are the road textures from?

[warm thorn]

Yes

[fringe slate]

But I really love the effort put into this

[warm thorn]

The road textures are a combination of the original textures, AI-scaled textures, and textures obtained from CC0 texture websites such as ambientCG.com and sketchuptextureclub. These textures were carefully blended and adjusted using Photoshop, along with some manual creation. As a result, you will notice that the road textures align perfectly with the original game textures.

[fringe slate]

Are the taillights supposed to be emissive?

[warm thorn]

The smoke, fire, and certain particle textures are created by taking reference textures from the internet and then manually painting them by hand.

[warm thorn]

Certainly! NPC headlights will automatically turn on during nighttime. However, the streetlights are always illuminated, and I'm not aware of a way to toggle them specifically during nighttime, as they consistently use the same texture.

[fringe slate]

Does it turn on in the original game?

Also there is this gap in The Johnson house

but I think it is just a part of remix

[warm thorn]

in the original game, a decal texture was used to simulate the lighting effects cast on the ground. However, I have chosen to ignore that texture in the RTX-Remix Menu. It is a blurry, smooth circle texture that is typically visible.

[fringe slate]

Could you make the texture invisible and attatch it to that?

[warm thorn]

I'm not entirely sure about it, but the CJ House is not located at the world position 0,0,0 where the original mesh objects is stored. Therefore, it might not be considered a remixed object.

[warm thorn]

No, when remix captures the mesh, it becomes a large, single object, and each time the mesh hash is different.

[fringe slate]

Ok, I've got no clue how to solve the issue but the grass turned into neon lights

[warm thorn]

Nice bug🤣

[warm thorn]

The AI upscaling model I'm using doesn't work well for upscaling text, and I haven't found a suitable font that matches this text. I don't want to invest time in fixing this issue. Moreover, due to the lighting, bloom effects, and lack of text detail, it's difficult to notice the text's flaws. However, when this bug occurs and the light "grows" on the ground, the weaknesses become evident. As you can see, it doesn't meet the quality standards of my road texture.

Here is the link to the new GitHub repo.
https://github.com/Hemry81/GTASA-Remix

[fringe slate]

Couple suggestions, Can you make the skid marks black and the tyre smoke white?

[warm thorn]

I already make one, forgot to assign the materials😅, it's inside the effect folder, i will update it tonight

[warm thorn]

The first time I saw it, texture is fading out without proper culling. Not sure what is that

[fringe slate]

What I've also noticed is that my windows are still black

[fringe slate]

Is it an emissive texture or is it a light?

I've noticed through the smoke that the alpha is not clipped but this is more of a remix issue

[shy wind]

Did you installed this mods? If yes most of the cars shoud have working windows UPD: remember to use essantial mods first

[fringe slate]

I'll try that then

[rare glade]

first time

[shy wind]

go to sky, and change that value to more than 18 will fix the issue

[jaunty kestrel]

try 4k sky real skybox instead

looks glorious

[rare glade]

i not going use again

[warm thorn]

how come everybody's car color still white...

[fringe slate]

Because the config file hasn't got it marked as a terrain texture

[warm thorn]

I'm confident that I have correctly marked all modified or unmodified dirt textures as terrain textures using car spawner.🤔

[fringe slate]

probably because of the mods

Also with how you set the translucent material on the window it appears to have changed the bumpers and rims

[fringe slate]

And taking a capture of my own has broken my textures when I load in now

Are your diffuse textures contained in the captures folder?

[warm thorn]

This is the only method to achieve both reflection and transparency simultaneously. I attempted to assign a glass material to the windows object individually, but it had no effect.

[warm thorn]

The original game textures are located in the "captures\texture" folder, while the recreated PBR textures are stored in "rtx-remix\mods\gameReadyAssets\texture".

[fringe slate]

So why is it when the capture folder is not present meshes have no textures?

Would you have any clue on how the police lights work?

hmmm

[warm thorn]

they are direct light

[fringe slate]

So it wouldn't work

[warm thorn]

Perhaps I can disable it and keep only the sunlight. Let me try and see if it works.

When I capture the scene in Remix, it appears that a new light hash is generated each time. However, there is one stable light hash, which is likely associated with the direct sunlight.

Same Scene but different hash

[jaunty kestrel]

Im gonna make a total environment pack for whole LS then LV and SF , coorporating with lots of mods like project ReLIT and 2dfx fixes, and basically everything within those properties of the dff files, then use stable diffusion to make all of them photorealistic

[jaunty kestrel]

can yall keep posting SS?

With @warm thorn PBR fix and cars fix?? pls

it looks so good

and im working on the next AI env mod

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah this the problem with the reflection on cars

[warm thorn]

@fringe slate rail texture on the way

[jaunty kestrel]

Im going to remaster whole LS, SF, and LV with the environment packs in the style of these , style of 80-90S retextures and re-maps , and then use stable diffuse AI to make them photorealistic, so PBR can be used on them .

[jaunty kestrel]

I will use also Project Props .

[fringe slate]

I would love to be working on textures rn but with this bug where random textures are being assigned to random meshes I wouldn't be able to get any good results let alone see them

[fringe slate]

Are you mark the lamps done with emissive textures? Because if so the problem with using emissive textures is that they aren't rendered off screen so you're not going to get the light once it is off screen

[fringe slate]

What did you use to make the normal and roughness maps?

[fringe slate]

@warm thorn Could you send your gta-sa_d3d9.log?

[jaunty kestrel]

https://www.gtainside.com/en/sanandreas/mods/167336-krazy-mexicans-13
im collecting env mods like these

basically done with 90% LS

[warm thorn]

With experience in 3D rendering and some understanding of light physics, you can learn how to create realistic PBR maps. Some of these maps are crafted manually, while others are available in CC0 textures that already include PBR-ready maps such as albedo, roughness, height, normal, and metalness. To display the desired area on the map, you can use Photoshop and create a mask.

[warm thorn]

This is a demo of my road creation in Photoshop, combining AI-upscaled images and CC0 PBR textures. The layer with the hash name represents the original texture with AI upscaling. By adjusting the layer blending on top of the albedo, I can enhance the road map's detail while maintaining its original appearance. Sometimes, the lane may appear blurry, so I add a road line on top of the AI upscaled texture to make it clearer.

For the roughness map, you can add an adjustment layer to fine-tune brightness and contrast. Sometimes, inverting the original image can yield better results. It's important to note that ray tracing does not necessarily mean a wet road, so avoid making it excessively reflective. While wet road results may be visually appealing, they are not realistic.

To create the normal map, I combine the CC0 height map with the original image. Photoshop doesn't directly support combining normal maps, but you can use a height map (bump map) and export it as a normal map using NVIDIA Texture Export plugins. Adjusting the height map is much easier than combining normal maps.

Alternatively, you can use other PBR texture creation tools like Substance Painter or Quixel Mixer. I plan to switch to Quixel Mixer as it offers a similar experience to Photoshop and is easy to use. It provides high-quality assets, allowing you to create various textures. The best part is that it's free.

[warm thorn]

I discovered a PNG texture that I wasn't aware of until I checked the log file.🤣

Additionally, some textures have been moved to another folder while I was organizing them. This is because I wanted to create a folder structure similar to the one in NFSU2 for easier management. However, I forgot to update the path in Omniverse accordingly.😅

Perhaps I should create a simple Python script to automate the process.

[fringe slate]

I noticed that you are using an older version of the runtime

but that might be the reason why i'm having texture issues

[warm thorn]

My remix runtime have DLSS3 frame generation support is older version?🤔

[fringe slate]

DXVK_Remix: remix-0.2.0+a43354a7

this is what mine is on the 2nd line

[warm thorn]

That’ strange, I update the remix dxvk and remix bridge just a few days ago…

[warm thorn]

I believe I have identified why some people are experiencing a lack of car colors. It seems to be due to the usage of a different resolution of "ECG - VehicleTXD." I will provide a detailed description of the mode I am using. Currently, I have a freshly installed GTASA, and I plan to create a step-by-step video later to demonstrate the process.

I encountered a significant issue where I am unable to capture frames to USD, regardless of the version of Remix DXVK and Remix Bridge that I use...

The screen has frozen after I pressed Capture Frame to USD, but I can still hear the sound from the game.

[warm thorn]

After reset the rtx.conf file, it started working again.

[jaunty kestrel]

True

[native gust]

That means the bridge crashed

[jaunty kestrel]

im thinking abt using photoshop ai to be used on the textures

also try this:

[fringe slate]

I don't think it will work well enough for that

[jaunty kestrel]

or maybe like stable diffusion or a model that could be prompted to make sa look like LA

more like gta v

hm

but something could be considered since theres no retexture pack that looks realistic

[jaunty kestrel]

this comb. looks really good

lmao looks better than volumetric cloud shader

Lovely!
How does lights culling? Is it disappears off camera?

[fiery girder]

Yea it disappear off camera

[shy wind]

So you using emissive.
To make it stay, you need to put custom light, or there is a way to disable culling in gta sa, so everything behind camera will stay

What u tried was make the light extemly small in scale and then out in directly under the light, but it casted a shadow above it. Did you do something to make it translucent

[fiery girder]

thanks...ya i have my personal setting plus gave a little roughness

[fiery girder]

if u lower the radius completely then it cast shadow.. so i adjust as i like it

[pseudo moon]

[jaunty kestrel]

for the first time am trying to change something in blender usd then export back. no change in game

remix detect nothing

[shy wind]

Use Nvidia Omniverse for that

[jaunty kestrel]

u mean usd composer right?

[stone karma]

I USED GITHUB REPLACMENTS

ADN AL IS WITHOUT TEXTURES

:i

[fringe slate]

From what I've found out is you need the latest dxvk build

[stone karma]

https://github.com/Hemry81/GTASA-Remix

DIS

[fringe slate]

update your dxvk to the latest github actions

[stone karma]

i did

stil cj no texture

BLA BLA

[jaunty kestrel]

The pointlights been fixed by some youtuber named jesse 2nd of remix

tho spotlights of cars havent

[jaunty kestrel]

but theres bugs like yeah some would love to attach a directional on the moon

because silentpatch only fixes the sun and makes it look like enb

but enb has moon light too

spotlight yuh

[fringe slate]

I can't fint it

imagine guys like this would work on remaking gta3/vc/sa map lmaooo

imagine real time intel isl photorealistic enhancement addon for remix 🤣 what do the technology waiting for btw?

[warm thorn]

Adding light to an object is not difficult; the challenge lies in how to turn it off during the daytime. In the video, you can observe some unusual light objects in the middle with double street lights. I believe the creator simply used an "add light to texture", which is easy but lacks accuracy.

[fiery girder]

lol she is jessica she done nothing yet...

[warm thorn]

If your guy have recently visited the NFSU2 group, you may have noticed that I have discovered a way to create realistic glass materials with refraction in NFSU2. I plan to apply the same method to GTASA, and once it's completed, I will upload it to GitHub very soon.

[jaunty kestrel]

The point to basically remaster SA would be environment mods first but its to hard to do the whole map

like look at gta iv environment

and mods likethese would make it look like real LA

[jaunty kestrel]

dont even needs high textures and stuff just realistic ones

like real windows, yeah, graffities, and those red pavement lines + smooth road textures

[fiery girder]

yeah i have seen...thats cool

[fringe slate]

Haven't you already done that, I learned to do that through chess although i'm not sure if it is the same

[warm thorn]

Creating a glass material for a single object by assigning a texture is not too difficult. However, when multiple objects share the same texture, it becomes a more complex task.

[jaunty kestrel]

There lot of stuff on sites like these, its pretty good

[pseudo moon]

oooooo ice 4!

[round tendon]

i dont think thats ice4

[pseudo moon]

it is

[round tendon]

ah

[warm thorn]

Her team discovered numerous original high-resolution textures used in the game. However, textures that are more realistic with high contrast, specular reflection, and shadows are not suitable for PBR textures. As a result, they need to recreate the textures entirely from the beginning or utilize software like Materialize or Substance 3D to eliminate the lighting information from the original textures.

[fiery girder]

Yea...I am following that ...they are fixing classic version for now...

[warm thorn]

We are both starting from the same point with the remix. While they have a team working on it, I am working alone as a one-person team. I believe their remix edition will be completed faster than mine. I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing their remix version as well.

[split badger]

Do you want to join them?

[warm thorn]

I'm just curious why you're asking this question. Are you a member of their team?

[split badger]

I had contact with them.

[warm thorn]

I see, but for now, I believe my main focus should be on collaborating with the NFSU2 teams. They are a fantastic group that is actively working on tangible projects and putting in hard work. This project has significant potential. GTA, on the other hand, is much larger in scale compared to NFSU2, which means there would be a substantial amount of rework required.

[split badger]

Awesome! Good luck

[jaunty kestrel]

u guys see that smoke? when we will be able to replace that with omnivers smoke ? XD

[jaunty kestrel]

just mark it as cutoff text

[warm thorn]

It should be mark as a particle texture.

[jaunty kestrel]

how te select it smoke ?

u mean select its textures ?

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah

[jaunty kestrel]

my pcs gona die lmao

bruh no

does it look gta5 to u?

[shy wind]

Yes

[round tendon]

🗿

schizophrenia

[jaunty kestrel]

This is useless btw bc its OG retexture

all thse stuffs needs to be redone in remix lol

[warm thorn]

You can capture the asset and convert the original mods asset to a USD file. After that, modify the GTA mods file by using very low-resolution textures and replacing all mesh objects with simple box placeholders. Then, in remix, replace the placeholder objects and textures with the desired ones.

[pseudo moon]

😂

[jaunty kestrel]

wait the tonemapping fucks it up lmao

[round tendon]

looks pretty nice, can't wait to order at Cluckin' Bell in 4k RTX on

[jaunty kestrel]

it doesnt even yet have skybox and the roads should look lighter, like in LA

and it would look photorealistic that way, btw

it looks like v atm

[jaunty kestrel]

sir

will you share gta san remix mod with me ?

do you have a github repo ?

bro not my mod

@warm thorn ‘s mod

from where you got it ?

oh found it

i will use srt3 buildings on his mod because it will automatically adjust to pbr then and its 512x512, while looking pretty realistic enough (maybe too detailed lol) so it wont cause any lag like other moss

mods

imagine brighter, white LA roads on this, bruh, i promise, this will look better than gta v lmao

[jaunty kestrel]

what gpu u have there ?

[jaunty kestrel]

2070

[round tendon]

same, i have 2070 super

[pastel jungle]

mine is 3060 mobile

[jaunty kestrel]

it looks awesome btw

i cant stop imagining la roads on this, damn

so happy that finally all buildings will be reworked

[pseudo moon]

yeah san andreas roads are too dark

[jaunty kestrel]

the only thing missing is mapping like bushes, bricks and etc on ground , and walls

to basically get photorealistic level

[warm thorn]

The latest version of Remix introduces a new unique feature in "Terrain Texture" materials setting, Thanks to Nvidia and the community for adding this functionality.

We no longer require the "rough_only.usda" materials. I will upload a newer version on GitHub soon, which includes window refraction without the car body disappearing.

[fiery girder]

i was asking this for every texture but still a good update...

[warm thorn]

What do you mean by "every texture"? Hasn't it already been completed in the Legacy Material setting?

[fiery girder]

legacy settings reacts to whole game we dont want that...i want every texture to have seperate material setting

@warm thorn is it memory leaking for u

[warm thorn]

Yes, it's almost using up all of my memory.

[warm thorn]

Texture replacement with PBR materials is possible in Omniverse. I'm curious why you would like to have this feature in Remix as well.

[fiery girder]

to not use the omniverse

[warm thorn]

Alternatively, you can accomplish it in a text editor, but Omniverse offers easier management. Are you suggesting that they develop an integration in game's GUI for individually editing materials?

[fiery girder]

yea...

[jaunty kestrel]

nice project urbanize and props

awesome look

[fiery girder]

its working

[jaunty kestrel]

wow this looks like skygfx

thats really nice

better than skygfx* and skygfx is the best

[fiery girder]

every car is same color

[warm sphinx]

@warm thorn Can u upload new version in google drive or mediafire, Github servers are extremely slow

[fiery girder]

i have tested dxvk builds 233, 234, 235, 236 all having merory leaks testing more

bridge build 29 is ok

@opal sable im pls check

going to sleep rest i will update

@warm thorn are u getting color on cars

[fiery girder]

Worldspaceui still not fixed

[jaunty kestrel]

cars have colors, its the problem that they r striped with cascades

@opal sable maybe fix for that??

[fiery girder]

not working now

[warm thorn]

Sometimes the car color is displayed correctly, but only occasionally.

[round tendon]

lol

this has potential

im guessing rtx remix in the future will be compatible with general other mods right?

[fiery girder]

yes i am using in this one too

[jaunty kestrel]

yeh but retexture, etc mods arent good bc they would use too much ram

[stone karma]

hmm

[fringe slate]

Well my car colours seem to work mostly fine

[naive cave]

maybe im misunderstanding here but doesn't the bridge converstion fix that issue?

[warm thorn]

Since he is relying on texture mods instead of texture replacement in Remix, it would be more advisable to replace the textures in Omniverse. This is because Remix offers extensive flexibility in both mesh and texture replacement, allowing for nearly unlimited memory usage.

[jaunty kestrel]

yes there is settings where you can tweak em but look at the car on the right

[jaunty kestrel]

and also bit bug could occour on car top but its a very tiny issue of remix tho

[jaunty kestrel]

nmn

[pseudo moon]

is anyone still working?

[warm thorn]

I haven't seen anyone else contribute here except for me. Maybe you could do it? I will work on it in my spare time, but right now I am mainly focused on NFSU2.

[fiery girder]

i am annoyed by the weird lighting issue at night filled a issue lets see

[jaunty kestrel]

i gave up bc personal issues

my brother is not here anymore so i can't even use an rtx gpu :/

[fringe slate]

I've done little things with POM, but there has been an issue for a while where textures swap around the further i get from the origin

[warm thorn]

Could you show a screenshot of the issue, with the corresponding height map?

[fringe slate]

No issue in this screenshot

[warm thorn]

Nice

[warm thorn]

In GTASA, there are numerous textures that are not properly aligned, have varying strength, and different UV coordinates. This makes it extremely challenging to achieve consistent levels of POM across the game.

The ultimate objective is to replace the entire game's mesh, ensuring that the UV ratio is correct at the very least.

[jaunty kestrel]

Wow, what did you used for pom?

[fringe slate]

I used chaiNNer

[fringe slate]

Yeah I got the same issue with the sidewalk

[jaunty kestrel]

i need to look into it, thanks

[opal sable]

chaiNNer has a CLI mode that could be helpful for OctoTex. just set up a chain in the GUI, then run it in CLI and tie it into your software. documentation: https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer/blob/main/docs/cli.md

[warm thorn]

Some interior with POM WIP, mesh replacement will come very soon😉

[warm thorn]

The initial plan is to introduce grass in the Grove Street area, which involves replacing tree and plant meshes. I have discovered a method to paint scattered elements in Omniverse. Additionally, the road texture will be entirely recreated, featuring brighter roads and POM in the upcoming release.

[fringe slate]

Well I have done the POM part although the result isn't amazing

[fiery girder]

If u make your visual to mid or high grass will be visible

Oh is already there

[fiery girder]

when write mod it doesn't write any code to usda...

Octotex...can u guys help me

[warm thorn]

I have a plan to create a 4K road texture without relying on AI upscaling, as it tends to result in washed-out details. Additionally, I can precisely align the height of the road texture for POM with my custom height texture, which AI upscaling struggles to achieve effectively.

Here's a work-in-progress update on outdoor POM, featuring the replacement of grass meshes.

Due to the current version of Remix lacking accurate shadow casting for Parallax Occlusion Mapping (POM), the final result may appear different.

[fringe slate]

That grass looks amazing

[pseudo moon]

yess, it looks like a different game

[warm thorn]

However, certain areas appear excessively dark, so I added a small amount of emission to prevent the darkness. However, this emission effect appears somewhat unusual during nighttime. I hope that Remix can incorporate a simple Subsurface Scattering (SSS) effect, as it would allow us to achieve more realistic real-time images.

I have considered using two different methods to create grass. The first approach involves mesh replacements, which can provide a wind effect but may have visible culling in the game. The second approach involves attaching the grass to the terrain mesh without culling, meaning that the grass is always visible on the terrain. However, this method does not support wind animation as the grass is a static mesh.

[warm thorn]

I am not satisfied with just replacing the foliage texture; my ultimate goal is to replace the actual mesh of the foliage. Additionally, I prefer not to use official assets in my mods to avoid any potential legal issues.

[jaunty kestrel]

WOW thats Amazing!

[jaunty kestrel]

Thos roads look already LA like.

[jaunty kestrel]

Wow the last two WILL look photorealistic

[jaunty kestrel]

Yeah, Fuck, it will look like LA.

Bc from the photo-realistic part is only abt realistic environment mostly like grass and trees fr. then maybe graffities and Project Props but fuck looks so promising

imagine playing SA’ in LA style wirh samp

[warm thorn]

It's unfortunate that you have stopped working on Remix modding. If you dedicate your passion to Omniverse and gather some CC0 assets from the internet to replace them in Remix, I believe you can achieve better results than me.

[neat sigil]

is anyone have these problem on Cj is keep moveng wen a turn camera?

[fringe slate]

I think that is just an issue san andraes had with a mouse

ah ok thx

[warm thorn]

It is because CJ drink too much “hot coffee”, and he is shocking his world change so much in remix.

Just joking, by the way I remember I install one of the mod fix this issue, wait a moment I have to test which mod fix this.

[warm thorn]

Progress update: I am currently working on replacing the entire mesh in the tunnel near the airport. Additionally, I am adding tunnel lights. I have plans to recreate all road textures within this week. There will be a long-awaited window with real reflection/refraction. However, I regret to inform you that retexture mods and object mods, including car retextures, are no longer supported. The good news is that you won't even see the textures with the terrain system enabled, as my plan involves completely replacing textures or mesh in the original game. The only mod I support is the Insanity CJ mod, but I only want to use the body mesh. The textures will be completely replaced in the near future.

[jaunty kestrel]

Amazing

[neat sigil]

nice 🔥 ❤️

[warm thorn]

I have already uploaded the beta version of my next update on GitHub. If you have already downloaded my previous version, you can use the "git pull" command to get the update. If you haven't downloaded any previous versions, please follow the instructions provided on my GitHub page. Some of the mesh files are too large to upload to GitHub. I need to find an easy way to replace them individually in Omniverse, instead of replacing the entire array of meshes in Blender. Your feedback on the gaming experience is highly appreciated, so feel free to leave comments and suggestions. (Aiport Tunnel mesh replacement not include in this version.)

https://github.com/Hemry81/GTASA-Remix

[split badger]

crazy good 🔥

[shy wind]

amazing. btw game eating 10gb of vram. Game even has some cyberpunk style of bugs xD. I mean textures are spot on, they look like oroginal, wich is good. Obviosly for now the most needed, would be folige (that you already working on), cars, buliding windows.

helicopter light needs some love, look at adamplayer nfsmw cop helicopter. Also would be nice to work on cops car lights, hope they are gonna work when its needed (not all the time).

[warm thorn]

Did you use any other texture mod to change the way the texture, and did you copy my rtx.conf file to the rtx-config folder? Because now almost all the cars and windows in my game have reflections.

[warm thorn]

Unfortunately, the light corona mesh hash is different every time, which is why I can't connect the light to the helicopter.

[warm thorn]

I will recreate all the pavement and road textures again. I just subscribed to the monthly plan for Substance 3D this week, and I'm still learning how to create higher quality textures that look more like the original. I want to improve the roughness, normal, and height maps for a better result. The textures you are currently using in the game were created with Photoshop, but the roughness and bump maps for different roads don't match well. That's why you may notice some roads appearing shiny while others don't.

[shy wind]

I used all the mods that were needed for previous version. I guess now i will do fresh install without mods, only remix.

[warm thorn]

I'm not using any car retexture mods at the moment because there are too many different variations. It's difficult for me to match all the mesh hashes and texture hashes one by one. So, I'm just playing the pure version of GTA with my recommended mods from GitHub, which is the perfect match for the current build.

Is this a waypoint from the next-generation version of GTASA?
Do your guy have an idea of how it should look in the next-generation version of GTASA?😉

[pseudo moon]

https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-oh-whoa-wow-gif-14638380

[warm thorn]

Guess what?

[silent berry]

hey, new here; is there anyway to add bump mapping so it looks less flat??

otherwsie great job

@warm thorn

scrolled up and see youve already been doing this ixnay that

[warm thorn]

I didn't use the height map in Blender to be more efficient, but the height map can be seen in GTASA.

I created a separate railroad mesh because the rail tracks are combined in the original game. This allows me to assign different textures to the rail tracks and ensures that the height map looks more realistic without distortion caused by the wooden tracks and pebbles. This addresses the issue shown in the previous screenshot.

Using a completely new mesh might be able to fix the problem of texture stretching in certain areas like this. I'm not sure why Rockstar included so many distorted textures. That's why I'm working on fixing the issue myself.

Here's what the new mesh looks like in the game. The rail texture still needs to be recreated, so it's not the final version. Additionally, the alignment of the rail and rail wood is not correct yet, but I will fix that in Blender. This is just a test, and I anticipate that creating the entire rail in the game will take a lot of time.

I need to add some dirt and aged textures to make it look more realistic.

The final result should look something like this, with different textures for each area. However, I am still learning Substance 3D Painter to create PBR textures, so it will take some time to create a good texture for the railroad.

[mighty sapphire]

Please smooth roads 🙏 Edgy roads are common in old games (I especially hate hills that are edgy)

They fixed it in the Definitive edition, but they kept the old collisions

[fringe slate]

Yeah I find this quite annoying, I tried to fix it with the grove street bridge but my modelling skills aren't up to it.

[warm thorn]

I can visually fix the issues, but it's important to ensure that the collisions remain the same. The Remix modification only focuses on graphical enhancements and does not modify any game behavior. However, the Remix material shader has limitations, as it lacks advanced material techniques such as subsurface scattering (SSS), layered materials (such as skin or clear coat car shaders), mixed with multi-materials make seamless textures, screen effects (like raindrop or blood on the screen), weather effects, particle effects (such as smoke and fire), water shaders, real-time caustics, and many more.

Nevertheless, there is a possibility that Nvidia and the community will make these advanced features available in Remix in the future.

[fiery girder]

they have added sss check properly

[warm thorn]

In Remix, we use MDL materials, which means that everything I mentioned is possible if Nvidia implements it, as they have already done in Omniverse.

[mighty sapphire]

collisions can be added by modding the game

[warm thorn]

I don't have any experience with game modding. In fact, I'm just a 3D modeler who combines various CC0 textures using Photoshop.

[warm thorn]

Oh, really? So, i can start creating a waiting list for the complete grass replacement now

[warm thorn]

The grass looks much better now with the implementation of SSS.

In certain angles, the grass still appears dark because the SSS material has not been fully implemented yet.

[fiery girder]

it only works with indirect lighting for now

[warm thorn]

I have completely recreated the PBR texture for the cars, but I cannot add a dirt texture to certain areas due to numerous issues with stretched textures. Unless I perform a complete UV remap, the car's mesh hash always changes when the "dirt" texture is changed. Therefore, I won't undertake this task for now. I plan to do it later once Remix resolves the mesh hash problem.

[warm thorn]

Currently in the process of adding interior lighting. I have already added lights to all the 24-7 stores and the barber shop. Furthermore, I have added a mirror in the barber shop.

[quaint heron]

@warm thorn i love you

thank you soooo fucking much

does this work in SAMP?

San Andreas MultiPlayer

[warm thorn]

I haven't tried it yet, but it's possible. As long as they don't modify the actual mesh and texture, I'm primarily focused on preserving the original game.

Perhaps one day, I will create a mod exclusively for Remix. In this mod, I will add additional lights and geometry to certain locations in the game. Initially, I will use low-quality textures and meshes as placeholders, and then replace them with high-quality Remix textures and meshes.

[quaint heron]

Thank you so much man

[warm thorn]

Hey, everyone! Have you heard the news? RTX-Remix just released version 0.3 today, and I have another exciting announcement for you! Check out the video and see if you can guess what it is.

[warm thorn]

Good try, but that's not the correct answer.

Tip 1 : This modification addresses a previously bothersome issue that has now been resolved.

[warm sphinx]

I can't figure it out

One thing caught my eyes, those asphalt textures, it looks amazing, great job

[warm thorn]

Thank you! I'm trying my hardest to make the textures resemble the original ones closely. In the upcoming release, you'll notice these top-notch asphalt textures covering the entire map. However, I'm considering releasing different texture resolutions for users with varying PC specifications. This way, those with low-end graphics cards won't experience performance issues due to heavy textures.

Let's others to guess what changes I've made in this modification. However, I still need to make some adjustments to ensure it works well in different time and weather conditions.

[warm sphinx]

It does look like original but 10 times better

[warm thorn]

It's time for me to switch back to working on NFSU2 to replace some buildings. GTASA will also have buildings that will be replaced in the mod.

[warm sphinx]

Is it possible to implement parallax interiors like DE or spider man 2018?

[warm thorn]

That's exactly what I'm doing in NFSU2 but adding actual interior geometry to the buildings.

[fringe slate]

Either the color of vehicles or that bumpers and that are no longer translucent

[warm thorn]

You got it, color no more change during nighttime.

However, the mod is still affected by the game's lighting system. When you are under a street light at night, the car's color is displayed correctly. However, when you drive out of the illuminated area, the car's color appears dim. Nevertheless, the overall visual quality of the car is noticeably improved compared to before.

[jaunty kestrel]

Did 0.3.0 fixed performance issues itself??

[jaunty kestrel]

U mean atmospheric scattering?

Oh

[jaunty kestrel]

this road is gorgeous

[jaunty kestrel]

i tought this is a real life photo lol

[jaunty kestrel]

Wow. Can you make them 2x times smaller tho ?

[jaunty kestrel]

on the bottom you havent yet replaced another model of grass

[fiery girder]

u are back...why you were asking money from me...

[jaunty kestrel]

cuz i know a method for crash but its 80-20 win and if u fall in the 20 3x times and bet too much u can lose all, ive made 10 to 100 repetadely

hey guys

have you heard about this chanel?

https://discord.gg/JWFBtYtR

they collected a lot of gta sa textures

so somebody who wants to recreate texture faithfully can find the sources here

gta sa uses modified photos of real places and uses some old texture cds as well

[warm thorn]

Useful reference that has been greatly helpful to me. Thanks.

[sick mountain]

your welcome and good luck

[sonic crown]

so are you guys gonna use use the orginal photos

[warm thorn]

In my opinion, the answer is no. The prebaked shadows are not suitable for PBR textures; they are primarily used as a reference for mesh replacement and texture guidance.

[sonic crown]

does remix have the option to delight the photos?

[warm thorn]

Currently, the answer is no. However, there is a possibility that Nvidia might develop a tool for this in the future. I believe it won't be directly implemented in Remix, but rather integrated with a powerful real-time texturing tool. This is because directly incorporating it into Remix could place a heavy burden on the rendering engine.

[quaint heron]

@warm thorn when will we get the current release for your version of rtx remix for san andreas?

[warm thorn]

My planned release date is between the end of this month and mid-November, depending on the progress. However, my primary focus is currently on NFSU2. After the release of the 0.3.0 Alpha version, I will shift my attention back to GTASA to work on additional tasks

[jaunty kestrel]

is gta san remix updated to 0.3?

[long burrow]

cant get this to work with my modded game, i'm actually heavily modded by now, should i just forget it? Laking of a good graphics mod to make a proper modder remake, but none seems to work on my pc

crashing at the startup here

[warm thorn]

The latest version of Remix 0.3, is now more stable in GTASA.

[warm thorn]

Remix is not compatible with many mods, especially graphic improvement mods like Project2DFX and SkyGfx. These mods can make the game very unstable when used with Remix. However, if you are using a retexture mod, it might be compatible.

[long burrow]

Are there other known incompatibilities between rtx remix and other mods? I've tried to get rid of everything graphics, but dont seem to actually solve it. Have noticed that some of my crash reports refer to peds mods, but yeah, almost giving up adding a graphic mod to the pack

[warm thorn]

I haven't tested many mods, but in theory, using retexture-only mods shouldn't cause any issues. However, if you use too many high-resolution texture mods, it may make the game unstable with Remix. It's better to replace high-resolution textures with Remix itself instead of using retexture mods. This approach is more stable and doesn't have a texture size limit; the only limitation is the memory capacity of your GPU.

[jaunty kestrel]

sorry, i was played at fullhd without dlss, so there's alot of pixels yeah

oops, no pings, sorry

[warm sphinx]

Looks like definitive edition but way better

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah

we need more pbr

[shy wind]

Is it remix fog? Looks very "lore" accurate

[jaunty kestrel]

yup it is

i've just changed the fog color

https://youtu.be/zsNQq3RAD1Q?si=2mwaZB7x_WFcFo7x

sorry for lags, more i play, more it eats vram and lags

at the end it just turns into a slideshow

fr just 3fps lol

and more than 90% of vram is being used

At the start i can even play without dlss

but at the end it's just unplayable mess

[round tendon]

better than Monkey edition

[jaunty kestrel]

What is a monkey edition?

[round tendon]

definitive edition

[jaunty kestrel]

Ah

[smoky gate]

what the FUCK

looks better than gta v

the fog and blue shadows r really realistic

the future of this is crazy

[jaunty kestrel]

I will try soon to remaster all the game's textures

[native gust]

Try turning off bloom

Rtx remix bloom sucks

[dry storm]

A day and night motorcycle!!!!! 👍

[smoky gate]

Damn

Can u work with stable diffusion?

graffities with in-paint mode maybe ??

[jaunty kestrel]

im on the way

[jaunty kestrel]

ok i've done

[jaunty kestrel]

yup

writing...

i think that's not the all textures

but that's what i've got capturing avery place

[smoky gate]

But work on / with Hemry’s repo tho

[jaunty kestrel]

I've already did my thing

Sorry

[smoky gate]

But on hemry’s

?

[jaunty kestrel]

No

[smoky gate]

But he already did roads and etc ?

[jaunty kestrel]

I did too

[smoky gate]

car colors / refraction reflection fix

[jaunty kestrel]

But mine is upscaled and PBR generated with ai

[smoky gate]

U can see LA ideas like cracky roads eith brighter colors r realistic

[jaunty kestrel]

I just wanted to try the octotex on this

Nothing more

[smoky gate]

can u try then to do houses / objects with pbr ai ?

or maybe in-walk floors/grounds like the first mission + roads? but hemry did pretty good roads already

[round tendon]

nah man, u must have been playing gtav on 720p lowest settings

[jaunty kestrel]

already did

[nimble jackal]

Damn look at these defined muscles, mate must lift cars for warm up

[round tendon]

CJ from minecraft 1.7

[jaunty kestrel]

hahaha

[nimble jackal]

If i remember correctly there is a blender addon that allows to import the model format used for sanandreas (tho you might need an older blender version). That way you could try to port one of the CJ mods, like carl johnson remastered formermy known as insanity CJ

Or Perhaps contact the mod author tho i dunno where he's active these days

[jaunty kestrel]

the fog doesnt look right to me

[shy wind]

Maybe it's bloom

[warm sphinx]

I prefer original textures, this looks weird

[jaunty kestrel]

yeah

kinda

but they are original ones

but upscaled

#showcase message

[smoky gate]

Damn these good, but why so cinematic??

Send more

[smoky gate]

Nice but bro i dont understand why octotex or the textures look sketched

[jaunty kestrel]

normals fcked up

[smoky gate]

oh i see

the fog makes it rlly nice

if you could do all textures, hemry’s mod could be topped on that

so it will be fully remastered

but its hard to make the roads look so la’ like

[quaint heron]

@jaunty kestrel bro i beg you release that shit

[jaunty kestrel]

that's how they should look

[quaint heron]

i wont die until i play san andreas with those graphics

[round tendon]

"why did i move here? i guess it was the weather..."

hol up' wrong game

[quaint heron]

YOOOO @round tendon

[jaunty kestrel]

but with denoiser and dlss it's just neeeh

[quaint heron]

remember SamoTR?

[round tendon]

not really

lol

[quaint heron]

SamoPlush

[round tendon]

oh yeah

[quaint heron]

and Usersif

[round tendon]

now i do

[quaint heron]

yea

we were attacking p1

remember?

[round tendon]

xD

[quaint heron]

lmaooo

whats up man

[round tendon]

pretty good ig

[quaint heron]

i dont see much difference

[round tendon]

what about night - morning - midday?

or Las Venturas lights during night

[jaunty kestrel]

can't go there for now

[round tendon]

[quaint heron]

@jaunty kestrel so when can we get your RTX Remix preset?

😢🙏

[smoky gate]

looks groany from afar and not scothatic

[smoky gate]

ok this mind blowing tho

this too

[smoky gate]

could u make textures like this smaller? would look photorealistic

imagine this mod under hemry’s

that is basically fully reworked photorealistic sa lol

[smoky gate]

oh bc denoiser i see

[smoky gate]

theye roads n shit is perfect

Damn fuck

Can u post a lot of ss?? looks like real life wtf

[jaunty kestrel]

wtf looks like cyberpunk a bit

[smoky gate]

fr lmao

[jaunty kestrel]

ok i think i have a broken texture

hehe

[jaunty kestrel]

Can't get the cars colors to work

[warm thorn]

#1097105394821759006 message

[jaunty kestrel]

The result

[nimble agate]

Nice job!

[jaunty kestrel]

I mean, the colors are not appearing

And cars look broken now

[smoky gate]

i like this road texture , looks bit like gta iv

[jaunty kestrel]

I need to fix the tiling issue

[warm thorn]

In GTASA, cars have inconsistent shading due to different lighting. I will release a simple mod that can fix this shading issue. However, some adjustments will still be required to ensure it works well with different times of day and weather conditions.

[round tendon]

dam, nice

[warm thorn]

To fix the car shading issue at different times and weather conditions, please place this file in your "Games Folder\data" directory. This file will replace the default timecyc.dat file. Before proceeding, make sure to backup your original timecyc.dat file. It's important to note that this file is specifically optimized for use with RTX-Remix. Do not use it with the original game without RTX-Remix, as it may result in unusual shading effects. At the moment, the sky color remains the same regardless of time or weather, but I will make modifications to address this in the future.

[smoky gate]

So this fixes the last bug of black stripes on cars ??

[warm thorn]

I highly recommend setting the Sky brightness to 2 or higher and enabling the force HDR sky option in Remix. Otherwise, the nighttime will appear very dark.

[warm thorn]

No, the strip texture issue is caused by the Terrain System. Remix is unable to retrieve the car color, and it appears that the car color is not affected by the vertex color. I have experimented with various Debug options in Remix, and only the rasterize option can display the car, whereas the Terrain System utilizes a rasterized top-down view for the terrain texture.

During nighttime, if you are far from a light source, the car color will still appear dim.

[quaint heron]

@warm thorn I'm waiting for the San Andreas RTX Remix preset from this video

Because night time in my game is not even night time, it's literally day time

cars dont have reflections or neons or any of that

but in the video you have all of it

its like im watching GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition

[warm thorn]

Please check my previous post where I have explained how to achieve the same results as shown in my video.

[quaint heron]

Ohh im so sorry if i missed that, is it in this channel?

[warm thorn]

yes.

[quaint heron]

Ok bro, sorry again

[warm thorn]

np

[quaint heron]

Is it this one?

[random moth]

is this fully working?

[warm thorn]

GTASA is running quite stably with the latest Remix build. However, it is not compatible with graphic or effect enhancement mods such as Project2DFX and SkyGFX. On the other hand, using retexture mods should, in theory, not cause any issues.

[grand dove]

Game still works only on one processor core?

[warm thorn]

[feral cloud]

hi guys where i can dowloand gta san with Rtx A ready

?

[pastel jungle]

@feral cloud

[smoky gate]

thats awesome that i assume u tried adding the tex mod w txd on hemry’s mod bc it initializes pbr already, environment mods make sa look photo real

or add more frequency to already initialized texture names by hemry

for pbr n shiit looks crazy

[jaunty kestrel]

Nope, no Hermy's mods at all

All pbr was generated by OctoTex

[smoky gate]

Can ushare it

[pseudo moon]

gta 6

[pseudo moon]

idk what happened the rims but still looks perfec

t

[smoky gate]

Can u release it bro

[stone karma]

lol

i got artifacting

remix gta sa

[quiet isle]

oh...

[drowsy vigil]

Installed everything can only get to a black screen and it hangs..

works fine if i disable d3d9.dll D:

[native gust]

Guys i remember there was a gta SA mod for rtx remix that fixes some issues with the game

Did it get deleted?

[drowsy vigil]

im wondering if its because the exe i can find is already patched to largeaddress

[jaunty kestrel]

if anyone needs my pbr mod

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HMBGVYgotfTrZKn2tiSDtjP5tL1otjcA/view?usp=sharing

[jaunty kestrel]

this one

[native gust]

@warm thorn

[warm thorn]

check the pins

[native gust]

No like, a game modification, for point lights and stuff

https://github.com/petrgeorgievsky/gta-remix-compat

Found it

[warm thorn]

Based on my understanding, the in-game lighting system of GTASA does not function in the current build of Remix.

[warm thorn]

So what's the difference? This doesn't resolve any problem or address any issues.

[native gust]

It does help, and we can use it as a base

[warm thorn]

Does it resolve the floating point error that causes mesh shaking on the screen?

[native gust]

Try disabling world transform

[warm thorn]

That means you haven't tried it yourself and you believe it can fix the issue. Good luck then.

[native gust]

I really didn't try it but in my experience floating point shakiness can be solved by disabling world transform

[warm thorn]

But that doesn't work in GTASA. I have tried several methods to make it compatible with Remix. Perhaps you can attempt a different approach if you have the time.

[smoky gate]

this pbr no tex replacements?

[smoky gate]

can u compile this , but i think the bugs this fixcing already fixed, specially by hemry

[jaunty kestrel]

With tex replacements too

[smoky gate]

hi bro ur mod is really great it looks awesome while it may look buggy but thats how realistic it should look with automated pbr and ai do u think its possible to fix the geometry errors around the map? it lags out the game and crashes

or mod is really good bro but altho it looks a bit meshed up but thats what makes it look realistic tho without fog it already looks awesome almost photorealistic or the best SA but why the latest remix has geometry bugs again

[smoky gate]

yeah doesnt work but ur mod fixes it but ehy it has geometry bugs

[smoky gate]

how to fix da geometries

[smoky gate]

fam

[smoky gate]

anyone knows the issue?

[pastel jungle]

just be patient

[smoky gate]

this is a great idea

literally feel like gta v rn lol

this is so great

amazing mod

[nimble jackal]

Does it work with modloader?

Cuz i bet it'd look really good with 90s atmosphere cars

Tho perhaps gotta port some models to blender to a remix compatible format

[jaunty kestrel]

nice! where to have this mode ?

[jaunty kestrel]

https://github.com/alex-suspicious/gta_sa_luminance

[austere nest]

how do you use it?

[jaunty kestrel]

#1169530553339490314

you cant for now

[austere nest]

oh 👍

[smoky gate]

Do it has geometry bugs fixed? i can only use 0.2.0 bc of that

[smoky gate]

The aestheticness is crazy on this

but with latest updates of 0.2.0 car colors work better

[smoky gate]

I literally all i want is to put hemry’s work on this

I mean to keep all this stuff but to replace rails / custom made stuff

because this one is so good

i mean looks ai a bit maybe but it is great

[smoky gate]

One thing i dont understand about current remix is why the shadows seems to blur in motion so much that they seem disabled?

[grand dove]

I dont understand shit about remix but this already looks great

[smoky gate]

yes bro the roads already feel like asphalt

literally

but yellow lamps would be better for roads

[smoky gate]

also thr pbr looks non scothatic or repeating but its not relly a prob yet

[jaunty kestrel]

early screenshot of the launcher

[jaunty kestrel]

стараешься сделать похожий на рокстар?

рокстак что?

[jaunty kestrel]

чо

чё

пока так себе

[smoky gate]

i hope remix will fix geometry bugs, 0.2.0 works amazing on your mod

literally looks better than gta v, lmao

literally

but 0.3.0 have fixed car colors, but geometry bugs 😦 i hope 0.4.0 will fix that, and performance wise too

but last pushes of 0.2.0 have car color terrain texture fix too, that one is amazing with your mod

last thing needed is weeds, grass, vegetation, and props literally

and reworked cj = gta vi lmao

they wont call it gta sa they will call it gta los santos

lmao

gta los santos sound good

[smoky gate]

This roads and overall retex + pbr would be mind blowing together with @warm thorn s custom stuff

literally

or with some environment mods of the og game too

it would look and be soo gooodd

[warm thorn]

Please refrain from tagging me regarding AI upscaled related matters. While I have created AI upscaled textures for my own mods in the past, I have chosen not to publish them. I am not satisfied with the quality of AI upscaled textures as they do not meet the standards of "next-gen" texture quality in their current state. If we can achieve higher quality results through RTX-Remix, there is no need to rely on prebaked textures upscaled with AI, which often results in subpar PBR textures. I consider AI upscaled textures to be more of a recreational pursuit rather than a serious endeavor in their current state. However, if Nvidia were to release neural materials in the future, my perspective may change.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffarLQDQmC4&ab_channel=TwoMinutePapers

[split badger]

always very articulated lol

[warm thorn]

@jaunty kestrel no offense intended towards your hard work on OctoTex. However, the AI model is still not proficient at upscaling low-resolution prebaked textures. We don't have the financial resources or computational power like Nvidia to train a powerful AI model for the upscaling process. I appreciate and respect your contributions to the community.

[jaunty kestrel]

Nah, don't worry about that 😛

I've tried to train some PBR models but they're still meh

I need a bigger dataset and much more computational power

And for solving baked light I did unbaker ai, but it doesn't look good too

Btw im developing Luminance Launch, wanna join us?

We need someone who will handle the GTA San Andreas repo for the launcher

👀

The launcher will allow users to play rtx games with ease

No need for patching, mods installation and etc, the launcher will do that automatically for better compatibility

[warm thorn]

Have you tried using textures from ambientCG.com to train AI? I have seen some websites using those textures for creating AI-generated textures, but the results are not very good. The issue of prebaked light and shadow poses a significant challenge.

[jaunty kestrel]

And it's also a mod manager for installing and ordering mods

[jaunty kestrel]

Yup all my ai models are trained on the ambientCG textures

Normal maps are the best out of all models

Cuz it was trained really long time

Like 3~4 days straight

On 3080

But the dataset is still not that huge

Roughness need to train more

[warm thorn]

I have see the roughness texture still not good.

[jaunty kestrel]

Parallax too

[jaunty kestrel]

They're ugly honestly

Actually not bad, but the tiling issue

Not bad for ai

And the roughness squares

Yeah

Unbaker artifacts may make a black dots on the texture

And a lot of stuff like this

Here and there

[warm thorn]

I think AI struggles to recognize textures that are combined together, as Ambient CG textures typically consist of individual material textures

[jaunty kestrel]

Oh you may be right btw

So, do you wanna join us?
