for the modders in here, if you need some good 3D scanned ground textures, this site will help you:
it has not only ground textures. Materials like metal plates and other things too
and the best thing: all are free

All free too?
yeah, public domain
cloud crypt
Uh nice, then we have 2 free sites now
safe patrol
yeah between them I've found a lot of good stuff I'll upload soon

This does not fit
safe patrol
No? It's pretty close to the original texture
cloud crypt
Hm ok, i dont remember much
cloud crypt
has anyone else that the game is crashing like crazy lately?
cloud crypt
new mud texture for the muddy streets
safe patrol
Hm ok, i dont remember much
Yeah the original texture has similar color and shapes, just lacks detail
I need to add an emissive map to the GPS arrow
cloud crypt
No, pls dont do that. The arrow is a world space ui texture
safe patrol
new mud texture for the muddy streets
Show us in-game!
cloud crypt
I cant rn, i am in bed now. But i will tomorrow, have to do some tweaking, some maps dont work right
safe patrol
No, pls dont do that. The arrow is a world space ui texture
It's just really hard to see when it doesn't have the default game light effect. Go down a dark alley and it disappears.
cloud crypt
Ah ok
safe patrol
I'll keep it really subtle. I don't want it overwhelming and obnoxious, it just needs to be visible
cloud crypt
Then do it. 0.1 as exposure should be enough
safe patrol
Yeah that's what I'm thinking
jade briar
new mud texture for the muddy streets
I made that already

Burritos muddy roads
jade briar

That's how the original game works with its texturing. A looot of textures are mirrored. It worked fine for simple textures, but you can see mirroring in more complex ones.
balmy chasm
oof
cloud crypt
and thats how mine would look like
but theyre pretty big, 4096x16384
1 map size:
jade briar
Yep. Mirroring.
jade briar
1 map size:
That's not good.
cloud crypt
32 bits per pixel... i could decrease that a bit
balmy chasm
Ehm, I think bc7 can export only 8 bit
cloud crypt
vram usage didnt change at all, i generated mip maps for these textures

spec map? I dont have a spec map

Roughness
cloud crypt
doesnt make the normal more sense to get more detail?
balmy chasm
Well, I mean such cases where you have contrasting Roughness. It will add details no matter how bumpy Normal map is

It's just really hard to see when it doesn't have the default game light effect....
I don't know how world space UI elements are handled, you actually made me curious, but we should wait for NVIDIA to allow them to emit light
safe patrol
This is world space UI with a very low power emissive. I'm gonna bump it up just a little bit but it's a step in the right direction.
cloud crypt
What did you do to the arrow
safe patrol
I gave it a dim emissive map
but something else looks off about it, I'm gonna redo it

@tawny elk Hi. I'm trying to merge your lights into my .usda and I got a few questions about that. Here on picture I just replaced both .usda and .conf with yours and I get these overlit spots all over the place. Is it the intended way?
safe patrol
<@264632269174472704> Hi. I'm trying to merge your lights into my .usda and I go...
Gotta adjust the auto exposure settings. Change min to 3.5 or so, max should be 20
Under post processing
balmy chasm
Well, the thing is - default one is 15. And 20 doesn't help
safe patrol
I found it helpful to turn the sky brightness down to about 1-2
safe patrol
Well, the thing is - default one is 15. And 20 doesn't help
Min is the one that needs changing
balmy chasm
Yeah, you're right. Something like Min:5 and Max:20 worked
balmy chasm
Min is the one that needs changing
Can you help me with one more thing. I get noisy lights apparently. Do you also have them with his setup?
cloud crypt
I posted it somewhere
balmy chasm
Is it about expossure?
balmy chasm
Well, no big difference. It is yet present but more smoothed
balmy chasm
No Upscalers here
cloud crypt
Thats weird
balmy chasm
I mean, what makes noise more noticable? I assume it is caused by recent changes of Exposure. Have someone discussed that before?
cloud crypt
I dont use exposure at all, or eye adaption... its just pure shit.
I just use the sky brightness with 0.200 and my own lights which are tuned without any exposure settings
Thats why i dont have any noise at all
balmy chasm
Yeah, like take a look at no ae. May be we should discuss like an overall standart for .conf settings so we can use each others assets without adjusting things too drastically
balmy chasm
Adam's latest setup?
cloud crypt
My own
balmy chasm
Let me take a guess. Your main light there is something like -5 Exposure value?
cloud crypt
Bu i only placed lights at highway and city core yet
balmy chasm
What settings there?
cloud crypt
I will look when i am at home, i am at work rn. In 3 hours i can give you the exact value
balmy chasm
Yeah, would be great
cloud crypt
In ov my setting for light exposure are about 7.5 to 10.5
And i dont use any textures as lights
Thats what i can tell now, the rest i do when i am home. I also could send you my rtx.conf then when you want to test it
balmy chasm
A single light with exp:7.2. No ae, tonemapping for expossure is 1
Well, rect light with size of 1x1 unit
trail quail
uncle burrito new showcase when
cloud crypt
When its ready
cloud crypt
Set intensity to 10 and exposure to 0.5
I named it false before.xD i meant the intensity not the exposure
balmy chasm
I tested .5 exposure...
To be fair I prioritised to change exposure more because Intensity is way to hard to adjust with slider
cloud crypt
Looks about rights, but a bit to much exposure
cloud crypt
To be fair I prioritised to change exposure more because Intensity is way to har...
Just double click the value and put the number you want in there
balmy chasm
Yeah, but not ideal for speed placing
Same result you get with 15k intensity(which is default) and -2.2 exposure
cloud crypt
Yeah no, i always fine tune my lights.
For me speed placing = shit
balmy chasm
Okay, next question
cloud crypt
Ok
balmy chasm
Have you set up a somewhat accurate preview in ov?
cloud crypt
What you mean exactly?
balmy chasm
So your light setup in OV matches what you see in game
Visually
Like somewhat matches
cloud crypt
Well no, i tune it with ingame lighting and only change settings in OV. If i set the intensity below 10000 the lights will not be displayed anymore in OV
But i am ok with that since i have 2 monitors
If it looks good ingame its ok that way
balmy chasm
Okay, can you post a picture of what you get in OV vieport when switching to 'RTX-Interactive' mode and doing so. As well as you lights settings
jade briar
I'm finally done with exams. I'll get to work tomorrow.

Well not now😅
balmy chasm
Yeah, when you get back home
jade briar
Tho I don't know how long I can keep working
Each day, the weather keep getting hotter
And running a 4090 is straight up cbt
safe patrol
ok the arrow is actually rather tricky. I'm not quite sure where to go from here. The arrow is made of two separate textures and they unfortunately are either used for other things in the game world as well or just have really strange effects on them.
safe patrol
Here it is by default.
You can set the arrow to UI but for some reason it lights up the game world around it.
balmy chasm
kekw

Well, thats correct looking
safe patrol
Well, thats correct looking
The arrow is correct, but it washes out the lighting on the car
You can set it as world space UI but all that does is disable the emissive map
balmy chasm
Is it effect light or emissive light?
cloud crypt
Normally emissive
balmy chasm
You can set the arrow to UI but for some reason it lights up the game world arou...
Wait. Have you tried to save these settings and restart the game?
safe patrol
Wait. Have you tried to save these settings and restart the game?
no but I will, let me just finish showing you what's going on
The second texture is what gives it the glow around the edges. Unfortunately it also adds a ton of other unwanted see-through effects when you tell it to be a UI texture
setting it as world space UI does nothing.
balmy chasm
That's the thing happened to me recently. Your car is not 'lit up', it got no enhancments at all. Dunno why this happens when you select\deselect textures
safe patrol
oh setting the arrow to UI also makes a ton of other things in the world screw up and show through walls. Check out the difference:
So just setting that as UI doesn't seem to be an option. I don't know why it's doing that, but...
balmy chasm
Try restarting
safe patrol
k
nope, does the same thing after restart. So setting as UI is clearly not an option.
vestal drift
Don't set in-world objects to UI
It will put everything that renders after that into raster mode
safe patrol
I see that.
I just don't know how else to get this dang arrow to show up like it's supposed to
balmy chasm
This is how my arrow looks like
safe patrol
I think the best way forward at this point is to muck around with the emissive map for the arrow again to find something that works well enough.
balmy chasm
I haven't touched my arrow actually. Just vanilla one
cloud crypt

Settings as world space ui?

Adam's lights have values of +15 exposure...
balmy chasm
He set them up with -4 and +15 ae settings
cloud crypt
Yeah, but auto exposure is stupid in all ways. It makes your game brighter and darker evertime you pass a light, it increases ghosting drastically and many other things
balmy chasm
Right. I'm aiming for turned off ae and 1 in tonemapping
jade briar
Looking good.
cloud crypt
3500K and 5000K in 1 picture
ember cobalt
Right. I'm aiming for turned off ae and 1 in tonemapping
the reason Adam has it set up that way is to reduce ghosting
balmy chasm
the reason Adam has it set up that way is to reduce ghosting
But it causes a ton of noise D:
ember cobalt
it shouldn't be, that's weird
cloud crypt
Just turning off auto exposure eliminates ghosting nearly completly and turn down noise lol
balmy chasm
it shouldn't be, that's weird
Take a closer look at spots right near the light source
ember cobalt
Just turning off auto exposure eliminates ghosting nearly completly and turn dow...
i also haven't run into that bug with AE causing ghosting. i tried it on multiple games
it was identical on/off
cloud crypt
I have explained it already to marl and even posted a video if you dont remember
ember cobalt
yes, i saw. but did you only test it in this game?
i tested across 5 games and couldn't reproduce it
so i dunno
ember cobalt
Take a closer look at spots right near the light source
are you running at ultra performance DLSS?
balmy chasm
No Upscalers here
this one. I have a light source facing that U2 sign
ember cobalt
what resolution do you play at?
balmy chasm
1080p
cloud crypt
Yeah, on ultra Performance is always much noise
ember cobalt
i always had noisy visuals at 1080p unfortunately, even in Portal RTX
does turning off auto exposure actually fix the issue? or does it just make it less noticeable
balmy chasm
does turning off auto exposure actually fix the issue? or does it just make it l...
It makes scene like Hell said 'an explosion of nova'. You can't literally see anything
ember cobalt
well, yes. because Adam set the lights up to be ultra bright, then uses auto exposure to reduce it
this should reduce ghosting
ember cobalt
i don't think any of us know the right way yet to be honest
balmy chasm
That moment when you haven't experienced ghosting either way
cloud crypt
Ghosting mainly happens at low fps using dlss and still only getting low 60s
Frametime is too big
Like 20ms or even higher
On some frames
jade briar
You all are incorrect
cloud crypt
And you are more than incorrect
jade briar
Making the lights brighter does not affect the ghosting in any way
ember cobalt
Ghosting mainly happens at low fps using dlss and still only getting low 60s
that isn't the only reason ghosting occurs though
ember cobalt
Making the lights brighter does not affect the ghosting in any way
it does though. more rays in a scene = more hits = less work for the denoiser
jade briar
The ghosting should still be there
ember cobalt
because the denoiser contributes to ghosting, not necessarily
jade briar
it does though. more rays in a scene = more hits = less work for the denoiser
Yes, but a lot of the ghosting comes from upscaling
ember cobalt
the improvement is noticeable without any upscalers
i observed the improvement myself in Barnyard when i implemented Adam's suggestion
cloud crypt
Or without auto exposure xD
balmy chasm
It significantly reduces noise
Okay, why in the world I got a ton of noise with Adam's lights and conf, and no noise with my non-ae setup?
cloud crypt
Or without auto exposure xD
For me
cloud crypt
Okay, why *in the world* I got a ton of noise with Adam's lights and conf, and n...
I dont have any noise either. And i also dont use ae
ember cobalt
i asked Mark
safe patrol
I'm not getting any noise with Adam's lights
balmy chasm
We have to standartise some config settings
ember cobalt
that probably shouldn't happen until the proper toolset comes out
cloud crypt
Yeah
balmy chasm
We pray for that
jade briar
Okay, why *in the world* I got a ton of noise with Adam's lights and conf, and n...
That is because of the world lods. When meshes reload, the denoising data gets reset. It caouses the denoiser to visibly flicker. Really bad.
And high noise means less overall light in the scene, so the time it takes for the previous frames to set up new dn history, the world visibly changes in brightness.
ember cobalt
yes, other games have this issue too
balmy chasm
Eh, you mean scenery in garage always updates?
ember cobalt
it's not necessarily the denoising data alone, it's also the motion. without motion vectors (even temporarily), lots of things look bad
jade briar
Eh, you mean scenery in garage always updates?
I don't see any artifacts in the garage
jade briar
it's not necessarily the denoising data alone, it's also the motion. without mot...
Yeah, I bet a lot of things get reset when the world in front of you updfates.
balmy chasm
Just want to clarify. This much of noise I got without moving camera or anything. It just flickers with a ton of noise while scene being still
jade briar
Just want to clarify. This much of noise I got without moving camera or anything...
I have a feeling that you messed up your settings.
ember cobalt
yeah, something isn't right there
it does sound similar to motion vectors being reset, but i don't think that's it
cloud crypt
Warm lights in menu... pls no...
balmy chasm
Is it something that is not affected by mod.usda and rtx.conf?
jade briar
it does sound similar to motion vectors being reset, but i don't think that's it
Nah debug mode is stable
And now that you've mentioned
I see that too
I think I know what's up
Give me a sec
cloud crypt
Thats not happening for me either
cloud crypt
Seems so
jade briar
ember cobalt
you guys should try to aim for the settings most people will be using
jade briar
But less noticable.
ember cobalt
like... not 8 bounces
cloud crypt
like... not 8 bounces
4 is enough i think
ember cobalt
sure, but that won't even run on most 3000 cards
ember cobalt
4 is enough i think
sounds good
jade briar
Okay so you guys may or may not remember that the other day I was asking why the normal map looked so bad
Well now I know
cloud crypt
And why
jade briar
Adam had set EVERY FUCKING THING to low
cloud crypt
Hahahahahahahaha😂😂
cloud crypt
Thats my normal map right?
balmy chasm
Where is this tab?
ember cobalt
Adam had set EVERY FUCKING THING to low
i think he may be using those settings
cloud crypt
But I still need to make adjustments
Ok
jade briar
Where is this tab?
ember cobalt
do you both have 4000 series cards?
jade briar
i think he may be using those settings
Probably
cloud crypt
do you both have 4000 series cards?
Yes
ember cobalt
i can barely run games at 1440p with balanced on my 3070 ti
jade briar
do you both have 4000 series cards?
I'm stupid so I bought a fortinity
safe patrol
I bumped up texture and denoising quality to high and light bounces to 4 and it runs fine on my 3060 ti
and looks much nicer
cloud crypt
Yeah, 4 should run on everything
balmy chasm
No ae and low denoise
jade briar
@balmy chasm . Don't care that you deleted the message. I made this anyways.
ember cobalt
I bumped up texture and denoising quality to high and light bounces to 4 and it ...
ya, there was no reason for it to all be on low unless it's like a 2060
balmy chasm
So much effort
safe patrol
ok here's what I've come up with just using emissive maps. I might bump the brightness of the edges up a bit even higher to make it closer to the original
without rain in the way
cloud crypt
Society if gameplay could look like the reference mode.
Reference mode gives me really much noice
jade briar
You have to wait for it to calculate.
ember cobalt
yeah
ember cobalt
it just accumulates to get a nice screenshot basically
ember cobalt
just increase ray count to 1000 😛
jade briar
Nah just wait that many frames
ember cobalt
ah yes
jade briar
Or enough frames that the image is clean
ember cobalt
1000 seconds per frame
cloud crypt
If i only could turn modding into my work instead my actual work...
jade briar
Yeah just like trying to render a 100 megapixel photo as a texture in blender

Idk why I said mf
But still
jade briar
Materialize is not that great with figuring out height. It says. Light = high. Dark = low
Which is not always the case
You can see that on the white highlights on the bricks
cloud crypt
yeah i know that, thats why i tune the diffuse first to flatten it out and then i set the height map as a displace
its not usable on all textures, but on most
jade briar
yeah i know that, thats why i tune the diffuse first to flatten it out and then ...
But then, you're removing all lighting and depth from the image and feeding it just the raw color info
Which is worse

cloud crypt
and no offense <@401032793829933056>. your effort is appreciated
yeah, you guys and girl just try to help
jade briar
Imagine bricks. They are placed in a pattern. The areas between the bricks are dark. Because not much light can get in there. "Ambient occlusion" and whatnot. Now you remove that darkness from the lines between the bricks. You have raw color data, and nothing else now. We know that materialize works by figuring out the depth by comparing the textures bright and dark spots. If you edited the texture. To remove any shading from the image. Now you give materialize just the raw color data. It won't be able to figure out the depth of a texture. And make something completely wrong.

Doesn't look to bad cool stuff 1 thing i will say though watching it at 1080p didn't seem to do it much justice though and oddly unsure why but had watched ubisoft and capcom showcase and they were limited 1080p which also didn't do the showcases any justice either.
I will have to reinstall NFSU 2 thought i still had it installed but turns out it was only Carbon and Mostwanted

Obviously this isn't production ready. We're still missing more textures than we've replaced by far, we're still missing a ton of lights that need to be manually placed all around the map, we're still tweaking things like light values and balance, and still dealing with culling issues that make lights pop in and out.
My only intention was to show the current status of what we have working and to show off some of the hard work some of you guys have been putting into this, and to see how far we've come already.
Yes there's still a long ways to go, but I think what we've done so far is impressive!

@tawny elk I set all of your lights to -5 exposure and recorded a test footage to ask if you can see any ghosting after such changes. As it was told earlier, I'm running on no ae settings. Some lights appear to be really dim and some too bright after all, but that's caused by unregular intensity values. Nothing I can really do here

Light popping in like crazy is caused by mipmapping. If you add lights to the mipmapped textures it isnt that noticebable anymore. Ive tested it on some lights.
But yeah, geometry culling is still a problem. For example: A light behind a geometry that is only blocked partly. If you pass the geometry the light will go full power and gets brighter...

gotta agree on that, it can sometimes do a bit and is still better than nothing but what would make more sense is to at least use the texture + stable diffusion depth map as input for materialize
best would be if we find real pbr textures that have the same vibe and modify if necessary
cloud crypt

Ive found a free site for that. Buggula shared also 1. These gave good 3d scanned textures.
jade briar
gotta agree on that, it can sometimes do a bit and is still better than nothing ...
That's what I'm doing
cloud crypt
Thats what i have done with the garage floor
jade briar
Yeah it makes more sense
thorny pawn
also there was some open source node based procedural texture generation tool with which some people have great success, but it's a steep learning curve to get anything reasonable out of it, probably better off just using blender and texture nodes
cloud crypt
PBRoven yeah is that open source program... i dont like it... the resolution of the textures remains shitty
thorny pawn
nah not that one, it's fully nodebased and you can procedurally generate textures even without any base
some people do crazy stuff with it
but it's really tough to get anything good looking out of it unless ur a pro at procedural art xD
talking about those
jade briar
WHO THE FUCK?
cloud crypt
Hm?
jade briar
hm?
cloud crypt
From who is that
jade briar
No idea. The mod page is deleted
thorny pawn
Any procedural texturing tool.
i know just thought i'd mention it since as much as i personally love blender, many people have a really hard time getting into it, and those are built specifically for this task so maybe easier for some, definetly better than just slapping some jpegs in materialize and tweaking parameters and praying for it to produce something useful

That was it , thanks
this is messed up tho
that's what happened to me too
soft isle
You will need to mess with settings oddly I had it working but I thought something was weird so reset to default then after that I couldn't alter brightness, Radius or anything of lights oddly but stuff like bloom etc... Worked as for that issue maybe go in scripts folder and edit the .ini file change resolution and go with number 4 for windowed mode it worked fine for me.
Also make sure your using latest Widescreen patch as I thought I was and I wasn't and some features were missing.
soft isle
Yeah it was like that for me Ctrl + X and mess with lighting etc... You will eventually see the cars colour and stuff.
jade briar
bruh
Start the game
The main menu is kinda dark because no custom lights
Messing with the lighting in main menu will mess up what things look like in game.
jade briar
Also you didn't turn off road reflections from in game settings
soft isle
I had the main menu after tweaking to be to bright could see everything but the in the screen after in the showroom it was a whole different story I kinda wish I had kept the settings to show it. Also it didn't help I had every setting in game cranked up AA, Textures etc... All maxed out and was only getting 10fps lol with my 3090.

Turn on dlss
I turned it off because I don't need it.
soft isle
That was with DLSS lol I had it on quality and had reflex boost, oddly had somewhat massive ghosting effect could of been due to low FPS but oddly game didn't seem like it was running at 10fps but that's what steam overlay was saying.
I guess you got 4090 if so is it worth me upgrading or wait for 5090 cards.
TBH I think my 3090 is bottlenecked by i9 10850k
jade briar
The 40 series is mostly disappointing
soft isle
I had a feeling it was only decent thing is DLSS 3.0 with frame generation.
soft isle
That's a shame I thought it was I know in games that use DLSS 3.0 it's unaccessible with 30 series cards but oddly someone had DLSS 3.0 Working with them not officially but it was somewhat working.
cloud crypt
The 40 series is mostly disappointing
What you mean?
cloud crypt
Which isn't even in remix
It was😂
jade briar
What you mean?
You know what I mean
cloud crypt
maybe
the rasterize performance is good on 4090, but the RT performance could be better
jade briar
The 20 series did not have a huge performance leap than the 10 series. Then the 30 series had a huge performance boost. And now the 40 series doesn't have such a big performance difference again
It's like
Every other release is actually good
cloud crypt
4090 has double the rasterize performance of the 3090 Ti and you say its not good lol
its not good in RT performance yes and gets mainly bottlenecked by every CPU out there
the bottleneck is the bad thing
the best performance with a 4090 has the Ryzen 7 7800X3D
and the 4070 Ti only has the same performance as the 3090, not the TI like they stated, nope only 3090
BUT: the 40 series is way faster in rendering and editing, like 3 times as fast
soft isle
Before this pc I have now I use to have a GTX1060 6GB and honestly don't know how but I could run a huge amount of games 1440p max settings at 60fps (Except AA and odd few Nvidia Specific settings that tanked performance) but pretty much full max settings. It was paired with a i7 7700k and 16gb ram.
As for my 3090 honestly it's some what a good card but I was a little disappointed in the leap really when it comes to Rasterized performance I tried Tomb raider at 4k max settings with AA and it ran like crap. Thanks to DLSS now though being added to the game I can get a good stable 60fps.
Thing is the Price for Rasterized performance doesn't seem worth it.
jade briar
4090 has double the rasterize performance of the 3090 Ti and you say its not goo...
Yes, but how many people are buying a overpriced GPU that costs 3 times a current gen console. When I'm talking about the 40 series. I don't mean the 4090. I'm talking about all the other ones that are not that great.

DDS means direct draw surface. Game engines are optimized for that standart and it was basically invented for games
soft isle
Yeah I know .PNG had higher quality however I didn't lose much quality. When going to .DDS
cloud crypt
DDS files with no compression have a higher file size then png without compression. You probably gain quality instead of losing. Only when you use 8bpp compression in linear or sRGB with BC compression you will lose quality

I think one of the bigger flaws is balancing, some cars make the game too easy because of how the class system works

the new one right? not 350 or 370
hasty plume
I spent all my cash on the car and no upgrades
just couldn't keep up with the leaders
cloud crypt
depends how you built it. You have to built it that it goes straight directly after corners but still can drift in them without losing speed
hasty plume
corners were great
just straight line speed was awful compared to what I was up against
hasty plume
this is true, always leaned more into cornering abillity
a couple upgrades to get to mid-class and it was fine
but I see how it can be quite easy to put yourself in a bad spot and make the game less enjoyable
I didn't like the look of the new z at first, it is growing on me
lowering it some and giving it a different bumper made it feel more like the 350/370

you can ignore that one. Its a config error i didnt fixed yet
safe patrol
ok I'll see if it works anyways
cloud crypt
thats the error
safe patrol
good start. Definitely got your tiles in there.
cloud crypt
yeah, and my lights too
safe patrol
yep
cloud crypt
should be fixed now
safe patrol
looks good so far. Gotta go for now, but it works.
cool, I'll test that one when I get a chance.
the car headlights seem to be a little much. Might want to tone that down a bit.
cloud crypt
i didnt have done anything to them yet xD
safe patrol
oh. I guess in Adams they were disabled. I think I'll get rid of whatever texture that is since I have proper emissive maps for those cars.
cloud crypt
yeah, its just a sprite texture
safe patrol
overall I like the look and it seems to be working well. After some tweaking I'll make a video...probably tomorrow
cloud crypt
the lights are already tweaked
safe patrol
oh I know, I mean tweaking my stuff
cloud crypt
ok ok xD
you guys should probably install BadassBaboon HDRI sky textures
my rtx conf is optimized for them
cloud crypt
here ya go
safe patrol
TY
haha, moddb is having cloudflare outage
I'll nab it later
Oh nevermind you just gave it to me here
cloud crypt
yeah lol xD

cloud crypt
thats bad, so probably 1 and a half hour left
safe patrol
It only took me once of having to do serious data recovery to change some behaviors for things I'd absolutely never ever do again. Hard lessons.
and always take backups
cloud crypt
same for me
safe patrol
in my case I was getting a bit overzealous with my use of raid-0 in places I absolutely should not have.

I fear the day when I accidentally delete this folder.

do not ever use shift + delete again
this is the worst thing. my keyboard merges . and Delete into one key. when numpad is on, delete is disabled unless you press Shift. holding shift + delete then does a normal delete.
so i've mistakenly permanently deleted stuff
jade briar
need more
ember cobalt
aw
jade briar
It is 7 am and I haven't slept
ember cobalt
late night projects ending in failure is one of the worst feelings
jade briar
I'm
Aaaaa
If I sleep now
I won't be waking up anytime soon
But then I have to give my cat his medicine
Fuck

Its 4am for me

pretty much
jade briar
I learnt nothing
I just waited 8 hours for a progress bar to finish its thing while watching youtube shorts.
Look guys
@tacit tusk thx for sharing with people.
Also the light culling is fixed
Your info is a bit old.

here are my Tonemapping settings
Okay... Is it default by any chance?
sage wraith
if u need any help in german HMU
Oh Nice Okey thx 🙏
sage wraith
Its 4am for me
Hey so i saw in your Video, that car lights Are working by you. How did you fix that?
balmy chasm
Hey so i saw in your Video, that car lights Are working by you. How did you fix ...
Have you added this?
custom int preserveOriginalDrawCall = 1
sage wraith
Have you added this?
`custom int preserveOriginalDrawCall = 1`
Where i have to Add this?
balmy chasm
Oh, sorry. I thought you meant this. Check this one, please
sage wraith
Ah oke so he added it to the vehicle yet
So is somewhere a „collection of Progress“? Where i can Upload my files and Download your files (that not all do the Same😄) ?
balmy chasm
Ah oke so he added it to the vehicle yet
Oh, you meant back lights. They are simple emissive maps. As he said, he just put albedo map into emissive and adjust the intensity
sage wraith
Aah oke I understand. But they don’t emissive light then right?
balmy chasm
They can, but when intensity is really high
balmy chasm
High enough to make it little sun as bright
sage wraith
Aah I tought the performance intensity😂
sage wraith
High enough to make it little sun as bright
Ok i think I have to test it I bit for better understanding 😊
jade briar
idk why but turning denoise off looks so cool.
plain stag
lookslike more natural
spark moon
idk why but turning denoise off looks so cool.
yea agree
denoise soften lot of details
timid prairie
it would be amazing to have half denoising, but that will never happen
jade briar
it would be amazing to have half denoising, but that will never happen
This kinda is half denoising.
@surreal ruin
wHAT ARE THESE FONTS?

Oh it's the Silent Hill 2 logo font, "Futura Bold Condensed"
ANd the smaller is uuh
Lemme load the PSD
The smaller is just Cambria
jade briar
Thank you
cloud crypt
idk why but turning denoise off looks so cool.
Are these my lights?
jade briar
Are these my lights?
yes
cloud crypt
These looking awesome With your textures

Hi everyone, have you tried the road textures that I sent?
jade briar

Hell, you're doing a very good job with your lights. I like the way things are going. I'd say you stop worrying about the textures. Let me handle them. You just kkep on adding lights.

if you want to have water flowing over the car in need for speed underground 2 just recover the textures in need for speed 2015 with frosty tool
dark spoke
yeah just recover the textures 
who needs the shader amirite gamers

at a time when need for speed 2015 and release with the frosty tool software I had to recover the textures to have a rain effect on the bodywork

Yes, but it'll need a custom shader to work properly.

nothing and impossible
at this time if it's the modders who bring a need for speed underground 2 back to life not EA billionaires

Can you show how this type of texture looks?

That's not the point, I KNOW how to make a shader
Remix CAN'T do shaders
We're kind of locked down with what Nvidia has provided us right now
balmy chasm
Just a normal map of droplets
And shader just offset it?
jade briar
Pretty much, yeah
surreal ruin
You COULD currently achieve the look by using a flipbook, however given how many frames would be needed to make it smooth, the drops would have to be GIANT
Which would look insanely dumb
There's also the issue of the current car UV's, they're not made to support an animated flowing water texture
So I'm sure there'll be lots of really bad looking stretching etc
AND, even if we COULD somehow make a shader, or animate them using the flipbook method
The current CAR UV's are probably not all aligned in the same direction
Which means the drops would all just flow in random directions on different parts of the cars
