NFSU2 (Need For Speed Underground 2)

[bright cairn]

My install won't initialise the rtx renderer. I think I may have deleted something important when clearing stuff out of my AppData folder so hopefully a reinstall fixes that.

[ember cobalt]

generally you shouldn't clear out appdata. lots of important stuff there

[jade briar]

[cobalt peak]

Now NFS U2 Fanboy starter pack.

[bright cairn]

I was mainly cleaning shader caches and crash logs as those are generally safe to delete. Normally nothing complains about those being deleted but it decided to this time.

[cloud crypt]

Burrito is mw fanboy, man loves piss filter

[jade briar]

I hate it.

[jade briar]

Were you able to play before cleaning out your appdata folder?

[bright cairn]

Need for speed still runs perfectly fine and create did initialise it's renderer.

[jade briar]

strange

[bright cairn]

I have it reinstalling now so hopefully that helps.

[ember cobalt]

where were those located?

[chrome meadow]

There have been an entire generation of yellow games... to cover dull color to save bandwidth on crap consoles 🙃

[jade briar]

And that's why I stay away from those.

[cloud crypt]

XD

Still mostwanted was a good game, gameplay wise

https://youtu.be/nKybDOc8ZFo

No yellow filter xD

[bright cairn]

%localappdata%\cache and %localappdata%\crashlogs. There was a few cached things in the ov folder that I deleted which I think caused it to stop working.

[ember cobalt]

what was the purpose of clearing those out? usually they don't take up much space and just speed things up

[chrome meadow]

You don't like sequels that regressed behind the predecessors? I thought PC guys loved downgrades to appease console whiners that complain if the game don't end up looking like the trailer running on a high end machine

[bright cairn]

The crash logs were taking up around 10 GB and the caches around 5, I was clearing space for a game as I haven't got lots of storage allocated to windows.

[ember cobalt]

that's way more than i've ever had, wow

mine are totalling about 200 KB

[jade briar]

So what's the problem with adding lights to cars now?

[bright cairn]

I had been loading demo maps into create to see what my system could handle and I set my shader cache size to 10 GB before installing create.

[cloud crypt]

The problem is, we can place them, but they wont show up, or only 1 side works

[jade briar]

[ember cobalt]

if it was omniverse, they have a built in way to clear the cache

[cloud crypt]

The bigger problem is, we have to select the sprite mesh to get individual colors for tuning

[jade briar]

[cloud crypt]

And doung this also wont work xD

[jade briar]

[tawny elk]

Is that why every game used those filters?

[ember cobalt]

it was just a trend from what i know. lots of games on those consoles had proper colors

i've never heard that as the reason for it

[bright cairn]

I'll have to look into that when it's installed or allocate another drive to windows so I can throw some stuff onto there.

[ember cobalt]

you just go here

then clear it in the page it opens

[bright cairn]

That is helpful to know for the next time it starts taking up space.

[wispy tusk]

How would I go about changing a game texture and loading it as an enhancement?

[wispy tusk]

Thanks I'll have a look :)

[ember cobalt]

@wispy tusk #1096847508002590760 message

follow this instead imo. the videos are great, but there's some errors that have caused a lot of issues/confusion for people

[wispy tusk]

I'll take a look at that too, thanks a lot!

Currently trying to mess around with ug1

Mostly cuz ug2 kept crashing every time I tried capturing

[vague sparrow]

thank you for that, no one is working on ug1 currently (the remastering part of it)

[wispy tusk]

I'll see what happens. Not quite comfortable with the software and process just yet... soon hopefully :))

[vague sparrow]

I'm due time my friend

🙏

[wispy tusk]

My captures keep coming in sideways lol
Not sure how to change that in Create

[thorny pawn]

@cloud crypt do you have this extension installed/activated in omniverse?

[jade briar]

It's like that for everyone.

[thorny pawn]

it says in the description that the default editor is codeaka vscode

[wispy tusk]

Would I just have to work on it sideways? lol

[thorny pawn]

if you havent had code installed before it'll probably be set to notepad

[cloud crypt]

It doesnt work. And i can only look into it again tomorrow because of my work...

[thorny pawn]

i'm sure you can set the /app/editor setting it describes there, but it should be fixed once you reinstall Create

[bright cairn]

I've not figured out the sideways thing yet myself.

[ember cobalt]

guys

i thought you knew

hang on

[bright cairn]

Are we idiots?

[ember cobalt]

i was too, don't worry

[thorny pawn]

omg this is exciting

Kim will bring us salvation

[ember cobalt]

go to Layer, select Root Layer, then change the world axis from Y to Z

[thorny pawn]

OMFG

[wispy tusk]

won't that fuck it up once u import it again?

[bright cairn]

It's that easy?

[balmy chasm]

It was listed somewhere in #1095534398134300682

[ember cobalt]

no, it only changes how it looks in omniverse

[wispy tusk]

Ahh ok sweet

[bright cairn]

I'll have to grab another capture from splinter cell and see where that goes.

[jade briar]

It shouldn't be that easy.

I asked mark and he suggested the same thing.

Did nothing for me.

[wispy tusk]

gonna try and see if it works for me 🤷‍♀️

[ember cobalt]

for this issue?

it is that easy

[jade briar]

Huh. Maybe I'm stupid.

[ember cobalt]

works on all but one game for me, because that one loads in totally upside down

also at a miniscule scale

[wispy tusk]

worked lol

[thorny pawn]

i'm so scared that the scaling gets fixed one day and then all of our stuff is absolutely miniature for no reason lol

[mossy pelican]

why it seems that NFS is having more progress than other games with RTX Remix

lo

[thorny pawn]

because we HYPED

[wispy tusk]

maybe the game people have wanted remastered more

[ember cobalt]

the visual style is nearly perfect for Remix, and it's an early enough game to have avoided most of the issues other projects are having

namely it has stable geometry hashes, something a lot of games don't right now

[wispy tusk]

they only have geometry dash now adays

[jade briar]

Be cause we got more people working on a game that's almost completely compatible. Except for me because exams, and adam is still not doing anything about the culling.

[tawny elk]

[thorny pawn]

• DLSS 3 works really well with racing games, so it's a really good fit

once it's in there

[jade briar]

Where is it.

[tawny elk]

Someday we’ll attract someone that understands camera operations better than me.

[jade briar]

I know someone that might be a lot more smarter than any of us, but they don't have time for this.

[tawny elk]

What about for money

[jade briar]

They got a job. Unlike me.

The life of a freelancer

Anyways

[wispy tusk]

i feel ya

[jade briar]

Animation, lighting, rendering, specialize is toon shading.

Well. The animation part was a SLIGHT exaggeration.

I can't animate.

More like vfx.

Explosions and stuff.

[cloud crypt]

@tawny elk i dicovered smth yesterday when i tried your method. The lights are too bright or too dark. Atleast in garages they dont work how they should

[tawny elk]

Change up your AE settings?

[cloud crypt]

AE? Sry i am dumb 😅😅

[jade briar]

Auto exposure

[balmy chasm]

For too dark places you just set the min value to negatives

[chrome meadow]

On the yellow tint was kind of a joke even if I suppose it could likely have been a reason but on the dull color I wasn't joking, I think that I heard that in a GDC talk from a developer that worked on the first Gears of War, to save on bandwidth many were using a reduced color depth and restricting the range to avoid banding but the results was that game had a really flat colors appearance. I can't remember if he even made the "joke" on the yellow tint or it's something I come up with.
Anyway, not all games had the need to save any byte of available bandwidth but apparently that's why many games developed on consoles had really flat colors

[cloud crypt]

Basically every game until 2005

[cloud crypt]

somehow i cant install create anymore... getting errors

[bright cairn]

Does it stop you from launching it? As far as I know that batch file only compiles shaders.

I had to completely remove everything related to it and clear out all the folders it used before it would let me reinstall.

[cloud crypt]

it worked now, after 7th try

and now the edit button works, yikez 🤣
but thx to everyone who tried to help

[tawny elk]

Aye

[bright cairn]

Sweet.

[cloud crypt]

your method works fine now adam

mod.usda isnt getting destroyed anymore

but why it does culled though

[tawny elk]

[cloud crypt]

fixed it xD

[bright cairn]

How did you get the unused texture in-game?

[cloud crypt]

what u mean?

[bright cairn]

The skyline vinyl you have applied doesn't show up in my game.

[cloud crypt]

its a mod

from archie

https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/4664

[tawny elk]

I added my mod usda with a ton of lights added, and my rtx conf for anyone who wants to build off them. https://github.com/adamplayer/RTXRemixGuides/tree/main/Need For Speed Underground 2

[ember cobalt]

that's so many

[tawny elk]

You know it

[ember cobalt]

how did you do that so quick, lol

[tawny elk]

My technique

[ember cobalt]

showoff 😛

it takes me like 15 minutes to make a light through emissives right now 😦

[cloud crypt]

thx adam, did you have done every light?

[tawny elk]

No not all of them

[tawny elk]

Most of the core city has lights

I didn't get to most of the outer districts yet

[ember cobalt]

very nice

i really need to try this game with how far you guys have gotten with it

[tawny elk]

I have a bunch of emissives and upscaled textures that I didn't upload cause I don't really know how much I like them

[bright cairn]

Thanks

[cloud crypt]

2 sec emissive

[ember cobalt]

ya, with really simple lights it's easy and quick. for that nice dance floor thing i got working, it took about 30 seconds

i've been having to make custom emissive maps for most of them though

[cloud crypt]

the problem with emissives = they get culled, which we can see in the video

[ember cobalt]

that new cache method almost entirely resolved that for me

but it's still nowhere near as good as proper light sources

i wish i could use them

[cloud crypt]

yeah

[ember cobalt]

oh, i meant to ask since you work with emissives a lot. have you been able to make only a specific part of a model emissive, while leaving the rest normal?

[cloud crypt]

so you mean when selecting a mesh, only a part (for example half the mesh) gets emissive and the rest not?

[ember cobalt]

right

i needed to add lights to this bike for example. the lights are part of the same texture and mesh for the rest of the bike

[ember cobalt]

so far i haven't gotten it working

[ember cobalt]

looks great

man that runs so smooth for you. what GPU do you have?

[tawny elk]

3080

[ember cobalt]

3070 ti here

[tawny elk]

That extra 10 helps a lot

[cloud crypt]

runs smoother than my 4070 Ti lol

[ember cobalt]

also can you test something really quick for me please? in the debug views, select "virutal motion vector" (or something along those lines) and drive around a bit

a short video would be really helpful

i think that game has the exact same issue like 2 other games do, and i'd like to file a bug report for it

[cloud crypt]

i can look into it for you, but i dont think its possible

you probably would have to use adams method

[ember cobalt]

i asked Mark and he didn't even know, so i'm not very hopeful for a solution unfortunately

and Adam's method doesn't account for that iirc

his method is just what Mark wrote up originally

[safe patrol]

You have to manually edit and replace the emissive map

[ember cobalt]

yes, i've done that. the issue is, if i leave the entire bike texture in there, the entire bike will be emissive. i want only the lights to be

i've tried leaving the bike parts transparent, but it just shows up black

[cloud crypt]

glowing skyline lol...

[tawny elk]

Oh ya'll are having that issue too?

I got fed up with it with the storefronts

[safe patrol]

since there isn't one by default, basically you load up the diffuse map in gimp or photoshop, make a new layer, and color the area you want white (or whatever shade of grey for brightness). The rest of the map is black. That gets saved and loaded as a separate emissive map.

[cloud crypt]

could you just create a mesh for this mesh as submesh and add to this submesh an emissive?

[ember cobalt]

thank you. exact same issue

flickering distant geometry causing weird motion blur issues

[tawny elk]

The problem is that the black is counted as emissive.

[ember cobalt]

it shows up on the final model, even if it's black

[safe patrol]

oh so remix isn't working properly with emissive maps

[ember cobalt]

no actually. it's just a weird implementation

the way Remix handles these emissive maps is that they're full color

i was very confused at first with them because of that

#1106420949257044061 message

Mark explained it

so if you have black in there, it isn't transparent

it's just... black. so the model turns black

[ember cobalt]

i would do that, yes. however right now mesh replacements are broken

[safe patrol]

huh. That's...ok. So the emissive map is rgb or rgba? What happens if you leave the rest of the map as transparent?

[ember cobalt]

that's what i went over earlier

transparent also = black unfortunately

and afaik it's rgb only. alpha doesn't work for it

i looked at it in Omniverse's preview, and the transparency was gone

[safe patrol]

ok so remix isn't handling emissive maps properly then. That sounds like something we should make a bug report for

[ember cobalt]

i think it's intentionally like this

they used them this way for the whole of Portal RTX's development

we could still open a report for it, it'd be nice to have a solution for this

[safe patrol]

I mean I only dabble in texture work as a hobby but that's not how emissives work pretty much anywhere else

yeah I think we should open a bug report

[ember cobalt]

i'll open a bug report for that tonight, thanks

[tawny elk]

Emissive maps typically aren't RGB right?

[ember cobalt]

afaik they're grayscale nomally

[tawny elk]

Lemme know if you need anything else

[safe patrol]

no, but even if they were, black would still just be 0 emissive

[tawny elk]

Isn't typically a mask on the base texture?

Thus emissive mask

[cloud crypt]

interesting, somehow it worked with the mesh method @ember cobalt

[ember cobalt]

well, it is 0 emissive. it just also overlays the diffuse texture

[cloud crypt]

but not as intended

[tawny elk]

You've heard of underglow...

[safe patrol]

it's not supposed to be a mask, it's supposed to be an emissive map

[ember cobalt]

you can see it here on the model on the left. it's black. the red part glows as intended, but the rest is just solid black

i used this emissive map:

[safe patrol]

it's supposed to map additional information onto the mesh, just like a normal or specular map. Shouldn't be touching the diffuse at all.

[ember cobalt]

that was my understanding as well

if this is how emissives are intended to work, it's unfortunately very limiting

[safe patrol]

I really can't see how that'd be intentional. It's fine if they want to add the ability to have tone-mapped lights, but they have to only effect the light part, not the diffuse texture underneith. If the value is at 0, there's no light so it shouldn't be doing anything. If it is, that's a bug.

[ember cobalt]

you seem to know how to describe this issue better. could you open the issue please?

[safe patrol]

and it does the same thing if you remove the alpha channel and have the rest of the map black?

[ember cobalt]

i'll provide whatever examples you'd need

[ember cobalt]

yes

[safe patrol]

Yeah I've got to jump on a work call in a minute, I can do it after that's finished

[ember cobalt]

thanks

[safe patrol]

send me both versions of the emissive map and whatever screenshots you have

[cloud crypt]

welcome to the rocky mountains xD

[ember cobalt]

i'll have to get some new ones

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1106420949257044061 will post here

[safe patrol]

Ow my suspension!

[safe patrol]

No rush, like I said I have some work to do first. @me when you post them and I'll find it.

[cloud crypt]

yeah, the normal map is kinda fucked up

[safe patrol]

it's kinda cool that the effect can be that pronounced though!

[cloud crypt]

this is better xD

with or without occlusion map`?

[bright cairn]

That's looking good there.

[safe patrol]

my vote is left

[hearty delta]

left

[bright cairn]

Right matches it more but left is more reflective.

It's a tough one to choose.

[cloud crypt]

In the end it would look like this

[hearty delta]

you don't have to think
just chose
he will average our votes within an excel spreadsheet anyway

[bright cairn]

That's convenient. Right it is.

[tawny elk]

Why are there only like two lights under the whole elevated rail section

So spooky

[cloud crypt]

you could add your own ones?

[bright cairn]

It gives some good ambience there. I fancy some tacos.

[tawny elk]

I'm not sure where tho

[cloud crypt]

lemme look

[tawny elk]

Like on the support structure would be the only place

[cloud crypt]

overseen light right here, makes 3

oh sry, you have it already

but you could change the angle from which the light is falling and make the cone angle wider with a bit less softness

and when we get proper headlights, this shouldnt be a problem anyways

[tawny elk]

I kinda like this look

But I also really like how this gives some depth to the steel supports

[safe patrol]

yeah on one hand we could definitely add some lights to those areas (and no real world place realistically wouldn't have more lights) but a lot of these problems won't be quite so severe once headlights work.

[cloud crypt]

taillights

[cloud crypt]

i like this, but at least make them darker

[tawny elk]

Oh for sure, I just wanted to see how they were interacting with the scene

[safe patrol]

I'm torn. I like them both for different reasons

[bright cairn]

Are they working in-game?

[tawny elk]

I really need to get new road textures

[chrome meadow]

Looking great, there is a weird artifact were surfaces behind the lights they are illuminated when disoccluded, it's especially noticeable on some building and trees

I didn't notice before

[cloud crypt]

uhm yeah

[tawny elk]

[safe patrol]

is that using emissives?

[cloud crypt]

yes

but changing taillights with turn them off

[safe patrol]

ok I was gonna say - tail lights are definitely a case where emissives should be used.

[cloud crypt]

and the real texture gets deleted

[ember cobalt]

are the tail lights a separate texture in this game?

[cloud crypt]

yes

[safe patrol]

that's a problem with all customizations right now, isn't it?

[safe patrol]

headlights too

[cloud crypt]

correct, we would have to do that for every other texture... i have to figure out another way

[safe patrol]

yeah

[vestal drift]

Are the headlights right now just cone lights attached to the front of the car?

[tawny elk]

Yea but they don’t work

[tawny elk]

Wait

You can set the material to the known good one

So if you have a car material that you like, you can just set the new mat hashto it

[safe patrol]

we can manually change the hash of an in-game object?

[cloud crypt]

i dont undersand a thing xD

[surreal ruin]

Emissive maps typically ARE RGB.

[cloud crypt]

but got this. setting them up as world space ui is fine. but they break from time to time

[surreal ruin]

It depends on their usecase a lot, like you could use a greyscale multiplied by a colour, which is a common way of doing it today

[surreal ruin]

But if you need like, 3 differently coloured glowy bits on the same texture, then an RGB it is

[safe patrol]

and either way they wouldn't be affecting the diffuse map where there shouldn't be light

[surreal ruin]

Yeah absolutely, an emissive won't have any impact on your albedo

[cloud crypt]

ui, got it working. added Normal, Roughness and the albedo as emisseve map and there it is

[safe patrol]

beautiful!

[bright cairn]

That's looking sweet.

[cloud crypt]

so basically we could get taillights working at least... but headlights are still cancer...

[tawny elk]

I have idea

Add the lights to the bumper mesh

[cloud crypt]

what you mean?

[tawny elk]

Then position them to the headlights

The bumper doesn’t typically get culled

Does that make sense?

[cloud crypt]

yes it does

wait a minute

[bright cairn]

Wouldn't that cause issues if the bumper mesh is different on different cars?

[cloud crypt]

yeah

[tawny elk]

We’ll cross that bridge later

[safe patrol]

each car has its own unique mesh though right?

[tawny elk]

Could do the roof mesh

[cloud crypt]

we just want to see if it would work

but then we cant edit the color though

[bright cairn]

Getting the colour to work when changing between various headlights is going to be a fun one to figure out.

[cloud crypt]

and the edit doesnt work again...

only works for one side

no matter what i try, only one side gets light

[tawny elk]

Use different meshes for each side

[tired cairn]

Я тоже русский

[safe patrol]

I was about to suggest the same thing but worried about the spaghetti code mess we might be creating

but if it works...

[cloud crypt]

let me cook

[tawny elk]

Eh it’s easy to revert if you name the light source

Much rather have a hacky implementation now than wait till we figure out culling.

[bright cairn]

All heil the spaghetti code!

[cloud crypt]

dont ask

[bright cairn]

It's working though.

[tawny elk]

Sphere light?

[cloud crypt]

no

its applied to one mesh with one rect light

but it doesnt work how i want it to work

thats crap...

well i go to bed now, have to work again in 7 hours...

[bright cairn]

What time is it where you are?

[cloud crypt]

3:42 in the morning

[tawny elk]

I’ll try it with two spheres

[cloud crypt]

Already did, only 1 shows up

[safe patrol]

ok I've gotta go but I made a quick and dirty emissive map for the NPC taxi. Can someone test it and see if it screws up the diffuse for the non-lit areas?

Also, the textures for those cars are atrociously small

[tawny elk]

What dimension are they?

Are they as bad as they traffic lights?

[safe patrol]

Yeah like 64*64

Ok maybe 128. I don't remember, I stepped away from my PC. But super lo-res

[jade briar]

So what did we achieve while I was asleep?

[ember cobalt]

words, i think

[tawny elk]

I had some cheezits

[ember cobalt]

yum

[tawny elk]

We figured out a hacky way to get headlights

perhaps i could bring the idea up again of moving the rtx mod itself to its own server to keep it a little more organized? 😅

sometimes i just wanna check on what y'all cooking (it's lovely stuff) and I have to speed through dozens of new messages
On the bright side, I'm super happy UG2 and RTX Remix is in the spotlight 🙂

[jade briar]

not yet

[jade briar]

did adam post his mod.usda here?

[jade briar]

I got got by my own sticker.

[jade briar]

So how do I use it?

[tawny elk]

Add it as a sub layer to your usda

[jade briar]

huh

Now how would I do taht.

[tawny elk]

Drag it on top of your mod usda in OV

[jade briar]

like this?

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, and then just drag and drop the rootnode into your own mod.usda

@jade briar

[jade briar]

like this?

[cloud crypt]

No

Go on the plus sign of mod_lights, then drag and drop the rootnode from it to your mod.usda

[jade briar]

But then the root node from my mod usda will be replaced?

[cloud crypt]

Nope

They get fused

You keep your textures and the lights will be added

[jade briar]

So I drag 1 on 2?

[tawny elk]

Si

[jade briar]

Am I doing this right?

[tawny elk]

Oh just drag the whole usda line into the other

[jade briar]

I'm sorry, I feel like the people who are having trouble installing remix after they joing from my video.

[tawny elk]

Lemme record a video for ya

[jade briar]

Basically yes

[tawny elk]

Almost there

[trail quail]

honestly i might try that

those really deserve it

hopefully my laptop rtx 3060 will do something at least 😆

[tawny elk]

Should run pretty good if U2 is any guide

[trail quail]

Alright

[jade briar]

@tawny elk Is this correct.

i think i should be free from my exams in like 4 days

i can try but yall will have to help me lol

[tawny elk]

I try my best to not lead ya'll astray

[trail quail]

i dont know shit about remix

[tawny elk]

Me neither

[jade briar]

Thet was neither a yes, nor a no.

[tawny elk]

Oh yea that is correct

Sorry I'm still waking up

[jade briar]

God damn it hellraven.

So I had gotten it right.

[tawny elk]

Don't merge the rootnodes cause then you can't update your sublayer mod file

[jade briar]

mf made EVERYTHING

yellow

[tawny elk]

You can modify the CCTs if you want it ain't hard

It's more of WIP mod than anything tbh

Some lights are way too bright, others way too dark

I was just focused on getting them in there

Can tweak them individually later

[vague sparrow]

90s industrial vibes

[jade briar]

So uh

I'll probably need to deselect all add light to textures?

[tawny elk]

?

[jade briar]

Bruh

I need to

Deselect

[tawny elk]

Oh yea

[jade briar]

yes thx

[tawny elk]

Yea, just remove that line

[vague sparrow]

this is why we have 10k messages just here

is there a way to add tonemapping without the toolkit?

[tawny elk]

Just the stuff in the rtx menu

[vague sparrow]

i just want those area specific lighting to come back

Beacon Hills should have greenish-blue tint overall for the ps2 feeling

and those other canyon type areas that i have forgot of

[uneven idol]

any one know how im install rtx remix on nfs underground 2? im do all steps but still game not load rtx remix

[vague sparrow]

are you sure?

what steps have you followed and from where?

[uneven idol]

download this and copy all files in game folder

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/releases/tag/remix-0.2.0

also this <https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions and copy on trex folder

what is wrong?

also tested on gta sa and still this happend

any body know?

[vague sparrow]

you need to edit rtx.conf and dxvk.conf

as far as I know

There's a better version

[jade briar]

Did you download the release version?

[vague sparrow]

In the pins

[jade briar]

The conf files are pre set up

[vague sparrow]

Check 🅱️ins

[uneven idol]

yes

[vague sparrow]

https://github.com/adamplayer/RTXRemixGuides/tree/main/Need For Speed Underground 2

[jade briar]

So you put dxvk in trex

[uneven idol]

yes

[jade briar]

And the bridge remix in the main folder?

[uneven idol]

im going to test this now!

game not run now

[vague sparrow]

error?

Or simple crash

[uneven idol]

no error

just click

and not run any more

[vague sparrow]

@uneven idol did you follow this

?

[uneven idol]

yeah copied all this files on main game folder

[jade briar]

Don't confuse the bridge remix and and dxvk remix.

MAKE SURE YOU PUT BRIDGE REMIX IN MAIN FOLDER, AND DXVK REMIX IN .TREX

[uneven idol]

when rtx remix just released on portal im get the files from portal game and copied to any game and work but now im use the offical release in github and not work!

[uneven idol]

ok im test that agine

[jade briar]

EXTRACTING THE INCLUDED ZIP FOLDER IS THE LAST PART.

[vague sparrow]

I think we're not getting anywhere with this chat.

@uneven idol just send us your root folder screenshot

So I can analyze

[vague sparrow]

@jade briar do you have dxwrapper in ug2 install?

[jade briar]

no

[vague sparrow]

I don't think it is required

[uneven idol]

before the im copy this in main game folder rtx remix wont run

[tawny elk]

No wrapper needed. Probably breaks thing.

[uneven idol]

you guys have just all rtx remix needed for nfs ?

in just a zip

[tawny elk]

No not really

[uneven idol]

so im install the game agine and just copy this files

[jade briar]

ZIP FILE GOES IN LAST

Install remix first
Then put bridge files in main folder
Then put dxvk files in .trex
After that, extract the included zip in main folder.

[uneven idol]

do you have any offical link for them? so i can download from right place

[jade briar]

The links in the pins are official. I'll post them again

[jade briar]

First this. In main game folder- https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/releases/tag/remix-0.2.0
Download the file that says release and extract files in main game folder- https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix/actions/runs/5095209923
Then download (release version) this and install in .trex folder- https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/runs/5159833644
Then downloaded the zip file in the pinned comment and extract it in main folder.

[cloud crypt]

Burrito, did you got it working?

[jade briar]

Make sure you follow all the steps in sequence, and carefully.

[jade briar]

Yes.

[cloud crypt]

Good

[uneven idol]

ok thanks

[uneven idol]

pinned comment zip file you mean this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1103377328530276403/1111324832617992242/Underground_2_RTX_remix_0.1.rar

[jade briar]

yes

[uneven idol]

OK

[uneven idol]

you amazing its work rtx remix and game load but game in very low resolution and not full screen how fix this?

[jade briar]

Install the widescreen fix. The link is in pins.

[uneven idol]

ok thanks

[uneven idol]

after copy wide screen fix now when im click and run game its not run!

[jade briar]

Rename d3d9.dll to d3d9.asi

[uneven idol]

its fixed the problem thanks you!

[jade briar]

Np

[uneven idol]

is there any toggle key for turn off or on rtx remix?

[ember cobalt]

not in the release builds

[uneven idol]

ok

[safe patrol]

Ok I went back and checked: 128x128

Also, got feedback from nVidia about the maps: in order to use an emissive map you need to also have a custom diffuse texture in the mod directory - it won't default to the vanilla asset.

So needs this plus emissive map

it's potentially bad from a copyright point of view but if we're upscaling/replacing textures with higher res ones anyways, it's no longer a problem.

[tawny elk]

You can import the mesh and a TGA into something like substance or blender and create the emissive map there

The resolution is just too low to upscale it and apply filters to get what we're looking for

[safe patrol]

oh yeah ai upscaling would look atrocious - these cars will need a lot of manual love.

but at least we know what's going on with emissive maps. And in 99% of the time it shouldn't really be an issue.

[quiet ravine]

does this need an actual RTX card to run?

[vestal drift]

Technically no, the card just needs to support Vulkan ray tracing

But it's not gonna run very well on anything other than an rtx card

[quiet ravine]

I recently sold my RTX 3070 and got an RX 6800 XT 😅

[safe patrol]

I mean you can try it but you're not gonna get much help/support if it doesn't work

[vague sparrow]

Yeah it can run but don't expect any miracles

as in, performance is going to be meh

[quiet ravine]

sadge

[jade briar]

Buys and gpu
Gets surprised that raytracing performance isn't

[quiet ravine]

I mean I kinda knew it can't usually run rtx that good, but was kinda hoping it did with this one since it's a 20 y.o. game

[vestal drift]

How old the original game is doesn't matter if it's being rendered entirely in a state of the art path tracing engine

low key want NFS world but eh.....its too new probaby

[spark moon]

this is same problem having with vehicle head lights...adding emmesive light is wrong... which will have differnt value and fkup other emmsive lights bbcz theres only 2 settings for emmesive... 1 is for lights 2nd is for sprites....and u need to blend it acordingly to make it look right

[spark moon]

yes they will go as world space ui .. but after next load it breaks the texture ...alredy raised a issue

[ember cobalt]

we found a way

#1106420949257044061 message

you need to copy the albedo texture over to the gameReadyAssets folder and set it to use that one. this allows the emissive map to work properly only on specific parts of the model

[spark moon]

great

[cloud crypt]

Already got it working as emissive

[trail quail]

show pic

[spark moon]

did u add thru ov?

[cloud crypt]

Yes

[vague sparrow]

why is it not casting emitting light? It's just emissive I think

[spark moon]

is it breaking textures after restaring the race?

[cloud crypt]

Nope

[cloud crypt]

I could make it brighter, it would then, but it also would blend us

[spark moon]

i did without ov that breaks it ...still a issue

[trail quail]

i cant make it work T_T

[cloud crypt]

Can u use ov?

[spark moon]

do u know tailght have 3 texture to properly work

[cloud crypt]

One issue i have with s3tting it as emissive. Its always on

[cloud crypt]

Well, in UG2 its only 1 lol

[trail quail]

this is my directory

[elfin beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-black-cat-meme-gif-24606499

[spark moon]

lemecheck

[trail quail]

followed the steps, but remix isnt working

[spark moon]

are u tring ug1?

[cloud crypt]

Select the mesh, then edit material, set check on emissive, set strengh to 0.5, set the albedo as emissive map too

[trail quail]

2

[cloud crypt]

I also could create a R and a N map to give it some 3d look, but thats not needed i think

[spark moon]

i installed a ov lets try that

any tips u wann provide

[trail quail]

@jade briar only you can help

[trail quail]

this

[tawny elk]

Only Uncle Burrito. He is the chosen one

[jade briar]

What happened herr

[cloud crypt]

What is even the problem lol??

[trail quail]

cause i followed his steps, no offense

💀

[cloud crypt]

I made a video tutorial

[trail quail]

remix doesnt work

[cloud crypt]

Watch this

[trail quail]

oh wow

salut

sorry im kinda new to all this

[spark moon]

i know part of trafiic light...

[trail quail]

ill check the video thanks

[tawny elk]

I'll see if I can add this to the guide

[jade briar]

Bro the while installation process is a mess

We need

To make one good tutorial

And pin it

And remove everything else.

[cloud crypt]

My is good lol

[jade briar]

Shit's confusing even for me

[jade briar]

Is it tho?

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, and add a link in my repo to your repo

[tawny elk]

I can just zip up a set with the files and such and put it in the releases.

[jade briar]

Link a repo to a repo to a repo

7 different tutorial attempts

Everyone got their own vision on how the game should look

I dread the future

[tawny elk]

[cloud crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/puppy-eyes-sorry-funny-animals-puppy-dog-eyes-gif-14502312

[tawny elk]

I don't think it's a problem, things sort themselves out over time. Maybe in a month we'll have sorted out all the problems with tutorials and such.

[jade briar]

We better figure out a plan before things go south

[jade briar]

That's what she said. She took the kids.

[safe patrol]

we didn't know Adam already had a repo when we made it, and we got rid of it so there's no duplicate problems

[jade briar]

I think hell's is still there

None of these are public. I think

[tawny elk]

Mine's public

[safe patrol]

Adam's is the only one that's public

[cloud crypt]

Mines private

[tawny elk]

I might make a python script that gets the latest builds and puts them in the folder.

[cloud crypt]

But i think its not a problem to have 2 though. 2 diff mods. Adam only warm lights and mine closer to og look with fine tuned lighting🤷‍♂️ but i am also fine if we publish both on 1 repo

[tawny elk]

People will chose what they want, don't worry. If they want my lighting style that's all good. If they wanna go with yours, I'd encourage them to do so. If ya'll just wanna build off mine to create your own. Go for it, just give me a shoutout.

[cloud crypt]

Sounds fair though

[jade briar]

Now I'm gonna make mine

[ember cobalt]

i think lots of games are going to have multiple versions like this

[tawny elk]

Rip needs OAuth to download them nevermind

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, and it is good that way

[cobalt peak]

I wonder, can one play NFSU2 in 8K or is that not possible?

Obviously without RTX Remix tho.

[mossy pelican]

Why would this be a problem to begin with

i can play the game in 21:9 which is a aspect ratio that none of the game devs have thought someone would play one day

[jade briar]

Well. If you consider dlss to be real 8k, then yes.

But you can play the original game at almost any resolution with the widescreen patch

[vague sparrow]

even at 1x1?

https://tenor.com/view/i-am-a-surgeon-the-good-doctor-good-doctor-surgeon-im-a-surgeon-gif-15330930315251274231

[jade briar]

4x4

Actually

[vague sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-baby-monkey-million-pity-pity-baby-monkey-torture-gif-21966591

[jade briar]

2x2 might also even wirk

[cloud crypt]

ug2 with 4x4 xD

[vague sparrow]

i can even see rachael in 4k 4x4

[tawny elk]

[ember cobalt]

i really wish remix's gui used nearest neighbor for low res textures

it makes it nearly impossible to figure out small textures

[cloud crypt]

xD

ui, best sound mod i heard so far for underground 2. I know this guy, cooperated really often with him for my OPUS mods

https://youtu.be/coWGTbsWNKg

[tawny elk]

Is it an easy imgui tweak?

[ember cobalt]

probably

[vague sparrow]

Idk, some textures will look too small when in scale

[ember cobalt]

nearest neighbor scaling would make it appear large without blurring it to the point of being unusable

so you can see what it is

[halcyon ether]

why does this sound soooo wrong... i just doesn't seem to fit with what i'm seeing for some reason lmao

[cloud crypt]

https://youtu.be/K8TT0tDRMtg

its sounding exactly like in the movie

[halcyon ether]

might be the reason why, it's not intended to be used as an engine sound ^^

[cloud crypt]

its a realistic engine sound lol

he did a good job in converting though

i hate omniverse so much...

edit doenst work anymore again

[cloud crypt]

okay, seems to be the release... 2022.3.1 works fine, 2022.3.3 makes problems...

[jade briar]

huh

[bright cairn]

Does it refuse to open at all or does it throw an error?

[spark moon]

is this u @cloud crypt

[cloud crypt]

What ya mean

[spark moon]

Read Big thanks to HellRarven if u cant notic then u are definetly not

[cloud crypt]

Yeah thats me lol xD

[spark moon]

lmao

[cloud crypt]

Why ya asking

[spark moon]

bcz of the name

thought u helped him

[cloud crypt]

getting somewhere

[cloud crypt]

i did a while back. He saw my volumetric lights for carbon and wanted to know how to make them himself

[bright cairn]

Looking good there.

[cloud crypt]

well, they added a mesh over the mesh... how stupid...

it even creates 2 lighs as one...

[spark moon]

https://tenor.com/view/borat-borat-very-nice-verynice-thumbs-up-gif-25080066

[bright cairn]

Did omniverse do that or is that from the original game?

[cloud crypt]

This is fitting i think

wait, what are these good for

[halcyon ether]

damn i love the lights 😮

[tawny elk]

Probably to show off the texture of the facade irl

[cloud crypt]

why should someone do that lol

[balmy chasm]

Where is that?

[tawny elk]

Cause it looks nice?

[cloud crypt]

airport upper road

[balmy chasm]

I don't understand which building's roof is that

[balmy chasm]

Why I have a feeling it is not glass .-.

[cloud crypt]

because its not

[tawny elk]

It's got a frosted glass look

[balmy chasm]

Welp. They're indeed useless

[cloud crypt]

as i said xD

[tawny elk]

Looks cool to me

Need to get some nicer texture for the wall it's casting on

[cloud crypt]

lemme see, maybe i get them cool looking (the lights)

added 2 captures, didnt know it was possible

does it fit, or should i go for warmer lights instead?

[safe patrol]

With an interesting normal map this could look pretty sweet actually

[cobalt peak]

Maybe a little bit warmer, like in this video: (Yea I know that's not RTX Remix)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3QvniaZ5qM

If it was any less warm, it could be considered white.

[cloud crypt]

i use 5000K, white is 6500K

in older regions i will go 3500K

cant delete this mat from mod.usda...

[cloud crypt]

and these beam lights i showed here are getting culled really agressively, so the light wil be set behind the car which isnt wanted

[plain stag]

one thing forgot 😄 - MW best NFS all time and beter then NFSu2🤣 🤣

[hearty delta]

mental

[plain stag]

maybe more longer i think will be better

[cloud crypt]

where there even lights?

[tawny elk]

This little guy

Wondered why I kept seeing them everywhere

[cloud crypt]

that are chimneys

traffic isnt only lowpoly, its only 1 mesh...

[safe patrol]

yeah we were talking about this earlier. 128x128.

[tawny elk]

It's used as a small spot light everywhere

[safe patrol]

Also, I love the 2d dummy sitting in the drivers seat of all the cars. It's basically a cardboard cutout with a + cross section

[cloud crypt]

more light adjustments

[safe patrol]

man, I somehow seriously borked my python install on windows. Finally got all the incorrect paths weeded out and python reinstalled and I think it's working again.

broke all my pytorch applications

[cloud crypt]

good that way?

acutually the highway good lighten up

[jade briar]

Surely

[safe patrol]

you know, considering how little it has to work with, this isn't actually terribly bad.

[jade briar]

Could be better.

But honestly, the civ vehicles would be better off with a full replacement.

[safe patrol]

well duh. It could be redone from scratch but this took 10 seconds. It'd be ok for a placeholder while someone more talented than me does a full proper replacement.

[cloud crypt]

getting a better feeling about this xD

[cloud crypt]

i found a mod that replaces the models completely with real cars

maybe the modder cooperates with us

[jade briar]

Maybe is the story of this thread.

[tawny elk]

Don’t know about you, but I think we both need to bump up the sky brightness to give it some some light pollution. Feels like we’re out in the middle of nowhere with how fast the light falls off.

[cloud crypt]

give me a value

brighter sky

need a good hdri though

[tawny elk]

Hm. I think that amount is real good, but the color needs to be closer to like a generic white.

Not sure how to accomplish that part tho

[cloud crypt]

brightness is currently 0.6

and thats my tonemapping

[jade briar]

photoshop

[cloud crypt]

i also could upscale the og sky and edit it on photoshop

[tawny elk]

I’ll get an hdri and try that 👍

[tawny elk]

Eh, I don’t think the og sky looked that good imo.

[cloud crypt]

i think this light should be violet

dont know how they did that, cause its the same mesh as the beams of the airport

[tawny elk]

It’s the fake fog texture

[cloud crypt]

hm

haha nice, ug2 crashed

should the lights stay on when enhancements disabled?

not again... everytime i make a capture

[tawny elk]

They will with the culling thing enabled.

[cloud crypt]

3500K lights

[foggy vector]

I have one question. Can I play this game with my amd card? or it's just strictly nvidia?

This mod*

[surreal ruin]

Nah, needs RTX support.
If your AMD card supports vulkan tracing then you might be able to get in game but you'll get like 2-4 frames a second

[cloud crypt]

I kinda start to like this athmosphere 😅

well, going to bed now, will work on it again tomorrow/ after work

[safe patrol]

Looking awesome. The amount of color in the sky really makes it look like daytime (or at least evening) though.

[jade briar]

I'm once again, suffering from too much beat saber syndrome

[chrome meadow]

I was working with the latest NVIDIA Texture Tool and I looked where I never look, under the effects menu there is an AI super-resolution which can upscale up to 4x...

[jade briar]

Oh I saw that. Just never messed with it because not a big fan of ai upscaled things

Results are

Odd

[chrome meadow]

Can't try as it is busy processing like a slave that alone have to build a pyramid but It made me curious

I tried the stile transfer years ago and was sick, it required some efforts to find the right setup and stile source but the results where insane

We need a better AI for upscaling so we don't have to pay artists for hard work 🙃

[jade briar]

Stile

[surreal slate]

Maybe you could give this a try? https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/1655

[chrome meadow]

Native language intruding

[cloud crypt]

Uff, you here?😅

[surreal slate]

I'm everywhere, like a parasite

[cloud crypt]

These could fit really really well

[surreal slate]

Yeah, there is a cloud set that is almost identical to UG2's and another one that resembles NFS 2015

[cloud crypt]

Ill try them when i have time again

[vague sparrow]

[No one cared]

[jade briar]

You did :)

[vague sparrow]

Nah bruh I just woke up

what else

badass baboon's hdri mods are the best

[elfin beacon]

ded chat

[balmy chasm]

What do you mean

[elfin beacon]

nothing

hru

[balmy chasm]

Meh. I came here thinking that all of that Remix staff has built in simple editor to play with game assets within it. But now when I realised you have to download and learn whole Omniverse package(which is memory heavy), I can't force myself to start .-.

[surreal ruin]

The Omniverse download is basically just a launcher

You start it and then download "Omniverse Create" from there

Create IS the editor

[balmy chasm]

How heavy is Create, Cache, u2 project, etc all together?

[surreal ruin]

Dunno! Haven't tried it

[elfin beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-speech-bubble-the-boys-upset-crying-gif-26284753

[balmy chasm]

I was a bit shocked seeing numbers of 512Gb recommended

[surreal ruin]

It's only 3 gigs for me

[jade briar]

The "simple" editor isn't even released yet. Omniverse create is a software similar enough to the editor that'll be released, so the community has figured out ways to use it with remix. Hope the remix specific editor is released soon.

[cloud crypt]

I dont use cache because it causes problems for me. But for me about 3GB

[dark spoke]

i'm currently waiting for mesh replacements to be implemented

so i can actually help out

you guys seem to have texture work figured out and texturing isn't really my strong suit so i'm benched for time being

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, textures and lighting. Mesh replacements should ve possible with the remix tool in the future

[small acorn]

the rotation on z-axis of the light spheres in headlights somehow eliminates one of the lights

[cloud crypt]

Seems like that, i didnt figured it out yet

[small acorn]

at least, in NFSU

and if you need z-axis to be 90, you can place one light in 80, and second - in 100 degress. this will make a pretty good effect,

[jade briar]

Might as well start collecting aes lights

Who knows remix devs might actually just implemented it.

[vague sparrow]

you got something to contribute to the project like models and such?

[dark spoke]

yeah i can make some meshes

[vague sparrow]

cool

[dark spoke]

gotta support mesh replacement first though

[vague sparrow]

skinned mesh replacements that are done on the gpu are amongst the hardest replacement work we will have to do

who'll be general art director though, gotta bring in the 2000s ricer aesthetics

[dark spoke]

the game already has 2000s ricer aesthetics lol

we're not adding anything we're replacing things with higher fidelity versions of themselves

[small acorn]

smth like this in my case:
double3 xformOp:rotateXYZ = (275, 0, 100) double3 xformOp:rotateXYZ = (275, 0, 80)

also you can shrink cone angle to 25-30 degrees

[cloud crypt]

Well, still we cant place them on to the colored sprite because the sprites will be displayed as block texture... maybe i could replace these sprites to make them look good

[jade briar]

Yeah, well you gotta be careful of actually staying true to the original style

[dark spoke]

yeah the goal in my mind is to keep the geometry inherently the same, just re-introducing geometry where it had to be omitted to hit hardware goals of the past

like the wavey highway walls having actual depth to them instead of just being a texture on a plane

[jade briar]

Rigging isn't that hard as long as remix works like a normal skeleton-mesh system

[cloud crypt]

PBR does the same

[balmy chasm]

Any chance we will be able to modify collision boxes with new mesh added?

[jade briar]

No

[dark spoke]

to a degree with normals but not to the degree you'd really want it to

[jade briar]

That'd require modding the game

[dark spoke]

PBR can fake depth but only to a certain degree

[jade briar]

1cm

I'd say

[dark spoke]

yeah any more than that and it starts falling apart

[balmy chasm]

We have no height\displacement support?

[cloud crypt]

Well you saw my rocky floor texture, thats about 10 i would say

[dark spoke]

if it does, at that point you're tesselating and that's adding more triangles than you would add by just replacing the mesh

[jade briar]

Not yet

[dark spoke]

one of those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" things

[cloud crypt]

#1103377328530276403 message

[dark spoke]

yeah the effect already starts falling apart at distance

plus it being pretty low res doesn't help lol

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, i fixed it already and made it plain with roughness

[dark spoke]

the effect looks pretty good in front of the car pedestal but at soon as you look at places behind the car, it starts to have what i call "PS3 blobbiness"

[cloud crypt]

😅

[dark spoke]

but yeah, textures and PBR effects don't solve everything unfortunately lol

so meshes will be needed in the future

[balmy chasm]

for you i believe

[vague sparrow]

russia?

[balmy chasm]

Nope

[jade briar]

Skill issue for you, I believe.

[vague sparrow]

i admit such skill issue, for i know nothing related to rigging meshes

now...

[cloud crypt]

Error 403 stands for 40,3cm away from the monitor

testing some lights

[stable plover]

My game got too dark, does anyone know how to fix it?

[jade briar]

Start the game

[stable plover]

Is that so? in your gameplay I thought it was clearer

[jade briar]

Oh

You might not have installed the anti light culling patch

[stable plover]

Do you have the link for this patch?

[jade briar]

Uhh

[jade briar]

Download the build that had "anti light culling" in its name. You need a GitHub account to download. Make sure to download the release version. Then extract the files in the .trex folder that is present in the game's root directory.

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/workflows/build.yml

[stable plover]

I've done this before, but I'm going to download it again.

It stayed the same, do you need to do some brightness setting or something?

[tawny elk]

Might need to set your EV to -1 or something

[jade briar]

Turn on anti light culling under experimental features

Adam you

[nocturne hawk]

sick

[spring thorn]

looking good, what settings are you running?

[vague sparrow]

looking really nice!

how did you implement custom headlights

[small acorn]

the game or remix?

[spring thorn]

both

[small acorn]

the game is almost at max settings as i can recall for now. except particle system and in-game motion blur

will check after work

[spring thorn]

do you have the files for the stuff youve added?

[spark moon]

Amazing 😍 tell me u got the lights properly

[cobalt peak]

Did anyone find out how to replace the skybox?

[small acorn]

well... if you mean that these are proper light cones inheriting from headlight meshes, then yes

[small acorn]

wait for remix skydome support i think

[cobalt peak]

Is that planned or some

[small acorn]

i don't think so, but better ask Mark, i think

[cobalt peak]

Nah I am sure that it aint planned

[trail quail]

its ug 1 right?

[small acorn]

yep

[trail quail]

nice

how does the jump look in slowmo

is it messed up or good?

[small acorn]

i can share them now, but it's a heavy wip

[spring thorn]

yea i dont mind

[small acorn]

oh, i think i turned it off since my last playthrough on hard difficulty. need to check it out too

[stable plover]

It worked out 😁

[jade briar]

Nice

[stable plover]

Is there a way to make the sky more visible?

[jade briar]

Uhh

You could decrease the fog

Or increase the sky brightness

[stable plover]

Where is the option to dim the sky brightness?

[jade briar]

Game setup>parameter tuning>sky setup>brightness

[stable plover]

Thanks

[mossy pelican]

family

[cloud crypt]

Family is all we got

Bruh "finally dry roads"...

And the thing what Zolton said at last isnt possible... The Rain is a shader in ug2 and its combined with the roadreflection.

So we still have to use wet roads

[safe patrol]

I finally got pytorch fixed and working again...only to get myself distracting making D&D character portraits in Stable Diffusion. Now that that's out of my system, back to upscaling cars

[tawny elk]

Which discord is this on?

[cloud crypt]

2unreal5underground

[safe patrol]

@tawny elk Any chance you could update your mod.usda on git? I'd really like to test your latest lighting work with the stuff I've been working on.

[ember cobalt]

@jade briar

lots

[jade briar]

Yeah, my newest video suddenly got a spike in views.

Surprised that not a lot of people asked for help

Funny thing is

That I'm not even working on the mod rn

I'm busy with exams.

[ember cobalt]

ya

it seems a lot of projects have slowed down recently

and good luck with the exams 😛

[tawny elk]

Not many changes as of late. I’ve been spending time messing around with RO.

[jade briar]

I'll get back to making more crappy textures soon™

[safe patrol]

Fair enough. I just thought I'd seen a bunch of stuff from you more recent than 3 days ago but maybe time flies even faster than I realized

[tawny elk]

Needed to mess around with something besides U2 a bit to keep things fresh.

[safe patrol]

totally understand. Hence my own nonsense with Stable Diffusion.

[wintry fable]

i wonder how it will look like when fog could have same color as ps2 version

[cloud crypt]

I dont like this much fog, its just way, way to much😀😅

[tawny elk]

What fog?

[cloud crypt]

This fog

[tawny elk]

It’s in the volumetric lighting I think. You can adjust the density.

Oh wait it’s in the post proceeds fog maybe.

[cloud crypt]

Volumetric lighting that much would cause a white screen

[desert saffron]

why is it so dark

[ember cobalt]

did you turn eye adaptation off?

[desert saffron]

i fixed it by enabling enhanced assets n things

[safe patrol]

has anyone tried to contact the guys who did the HD texture pack for the PS2 NFSU2?

oh nevermind. It looks like they just ran everything through an AI upscaler too.

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, AI updcale = bad. But not everytime

Topaz Upscayle does a good job.
But i still prefer waifu2xcaffe with real-nnc-ersgan

Its free and when you have a good card (1080 and up) the upscaling wont take to much time. My 4070Ti needs 30 seconds for a 4x upscale

[safe patrol]

I'll check it out.

[cloud crypt]

Its very complex and has many features. It also has a rtx on setting with which you can use a raytracer for upscaling

[safe patrol]

nice

[cloud crypt]

correct one

https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI/releases/tag/v3.102.01

[cloud crypt]

have to take some things back. BadassBaboon Skys work fine with remix

[balmy chasm]

Hm. Can you tell me why when I move lights on Z+ direction, it moves on Z-. And rotation is also reverted
