just checked the list.. I thought you had access to this list as well.

that's from ray reconstruction
nothing to do with the clouds
it took like 5 hours just to get the clouds workin at night 😭 they were such a pain in the ass

Yall did good

just checked the list.. I thought you had access to this list as well.
I posted it above briefly actually here's a slightly expanded version since I left out the details though of the main areas just to stay brief.
Core Atmosphere/Weather:
1:Multi-layer Clouds
2:Crepuscular Rays
3:Dynamic Turbidity/Aerial Perspective
4:Daytime haze gradient (for pollution/magic fog.)
5:Time-Of-Day Color Gradient & Ground Albedo Influence. Sky color does not live in a vacuum: feed ground reflectance (e.g., grass, stone, water) into sky scattering as a boundary condition. Expose “ground albedo” palette per biome which enables realistic day-to-night ground transition without re-rendering geometry.
Celestial/Events:
1:Periodic Meteor Showers Thin trails + radial explosion
2:Aurora Borealis
3:Solar/Lunar Eclipses
4:Zodiac/Lore Constellations Procedural + atlas texture. Fade by hemisphere/season.
5:Star/Galaxy Parallax & Field Depth: layer star field to simulate slight depth without full 3D
Lighting/Effects
1:Moonlight Volumetrics
2:Twilight Color Curves
Polish/Perf/Integration
1:Weather Presets**: UI dropdowns
2:Sky LOD/Mipmaps Distance-based detail (e.g., low-res stars at horizon). Param: skyLOD: int 0-3. Critical for VR/distant land. (Med)
3:Magic/VFX Integration: Occlude sky during storms: eg rad storms
4:Atmospheric Pre-Integration with Remix Light System all sky-emitted directions (moonlight, faint starlight) are represented as remapped Remix lights where supported.

🥺 if i keep adding the performance will soon be 0 FPS

Hmm the clouds do look usable if the performance wasn't so bad. Anyone tried this out in simpler games?
Like from early 2000s

the performance isn't THAT bad
it's playable in most games

working fine on morrowind so far imo. I'm on a 4090 though so idk
rustic compass
You guys make it seem like it's in a single digits so I'm becoming confused 😕
Like 5 FPS lmao

On my end I didn't see any perfromnce differnce. I haven't tried fallout 4 at all with any of this yet though. which I mean I'm almost expecting that to shit the bed since it's running the game in two windows I think atm.

i was giving percentages before
right now it's ~12% performance hit. it's a lot, but it's far from unplayable

i'll send my bridge + dxvk setup rq

how do the clouds look when you are at the top of a cliff?
iron drum
i'm scared of heights
rustic compass
Or maybe just freecam it to see them up close?
I fear the illusion might break
Because of it being sort of 2d???
iron drum
oh my god i hate auto exposure
modern hedge
how do the clouds look when you are at the top of a cliff?
just curious where the horizon line for the clouds is
iron drum
i'm up REALLY high here
but you can adjust the cloud height anyway and the curvature to accomodate per game
modern hedge
oh nice
rustic compass
Damn looks nice, kinda noisy though
iron drum
lower sample count rn
modern hedge
so the clouds are tied to the player height at all?
iron drum
nope
modern hedge
meant to say "aren't" lol
iron drum
hmmm
so the curvature and height are just adjusting the clouds within their fixed areas. doesn't help with that horizon. i can try to fix that but i'm afraid it might break things
rustic compass
What if you try to fly really close to the clouds, what happens?
iron drum
👀
rustic compass
Cloud shadows?
iron drum

this isn't possible
the skybox is essentially infinite
you can't go into it

it's not a big deal I was just curious about the second mission in Halo CE with the giant cliff in the begining lol
iron drum
ya, it's definitely a good point
iron drum
Cloud shadows?
i had them disabled for testing rn
rustic compass
this isn't possible
Oh rip, I thought the clouds were existing physically as a layer between the skybox
Would be interesting to see this in a flight sim like game
We...never really did try to remix any of those games though. Right?
iron drum
does smooth normals work on the terrain?
anything that uses xor's code as a base doesn't seem to like smooth normals
fnv does use it 🥺
iron drum
Would be interesting to see this in a flight sim like game
yeah. it would be nice to have a proper system for it, but it'd probably be even more expensive. these clouds exploit a lot of information already preset in CR's sky implementation to save on perf
rustic compass
Still pretty viable for a couple of games
hidden pond
a mountain is talking to me
hmm remix isn't detecting close models maybe. have you done any anti culling modification perchance?(not the remix stuff) I ran into this problem in morrowind with it's anticulling mod that E-man did that disables the exe's frustum culling.
iron drum
😆 i was just in freecam

Is it normal that I love how even those thirteen polygons are lit?..
iron drum

modern hedge
iron drum
yeah it looks like that artifact but it's actually a completely different problem
modern hedge
oh lmao
final siren
iron drum
this uses samples and each sample = an extra "layer"
i just need to properly blend the layers
was the same issue with the clouds
final siren
the skybox is essentially infinite
the skybox moves with the camera position?
iron drum
other than the alignment issues + noise i think it's pretty decent
iron drum
the skybox moves with the camera position?
not quite. it's more like the skybox exists outside of the normal camera's 3d space

omg r these god rays?

Ever see lightspeed studios mod for fallout 4?
time for a remixing
OG Nvidia reveal
iron drum
pushed to github
i don't think i'm going to add anything else for now. as is it's pretty nice i think?
iron drum
other than the alignment issues + noise i think it's pretty decent
i scrapped the god rays for now btw
raw flame
i scrapped the god rays for now btw
Something simpler like sunflares could also work
something less intense
tidal quiver
sorry for replying to such an old post, but this looks very funny.
And cool to see all the progress you made since the last time I checked!
iron drum
performance hit is only ~3% now
i successfully rebased to the latest Nvidia commit with the CPU/GPU optimizations
FPS went up by ~4 from that i think. 44 to 48
rustic compass
Nice 🙂
iron drum
somehow the clouds got more performance intensive during this though 😖
we're back to ~10% perf hit
something absolutely destroyed performance
this is unrelated to clouds
heavy pine
Us we ated it all
iron drum
i am kinda concerned
i have no idea how the performance got so bad
😮💨
it's not from my fork
real regression though
shell cedar
hey @iron drum can you tell me how to make a a d3d9 proxy for dx11?
iron drum
that's not something i've done, so i can't really give any advice
shell cedar
isnt fo4 dx11
modern hedge
sparkles is hooking data from the game engine directly
modern hedge
through the remix api?
shell cedar
fo4 isnt dx9
iron drum
the remix sdk api lets you bypass the api entirely
look at unityrtx for an example of how to do it
shell cedar
thanks
iron drum
we're back to ~10% perf hit
i am reworking the way the clouds are rendered again to try to reduce this + add more variation to the cloud shape
iron drum
i reworked the entire cloud system. true 3d here for all the parts that matter. the last one used 2d approximations in some places to save on perf, but that's not necessary anymore
thoughts?
it's more performant too
brittle oar
i reworked the entire cloud system. true 3d here for all the parts that matter. ...
i think its now around the level of the volumetric clouds meetric made for gmod awhile back
iron drum
working on noise + perf again
brittle oar
working on noise + perf again
i think rn the far future end goal will be reaching the levels of volumetric clouds of that kerbal space program mod, amazing beginning so far
i’d say golden standard would be the decima clouds but thats so complex and indepth idk how someone could fully port it to remix with full quality and performance
modern hedge
working on noise + perf again
looking solid
reminds me of the vanilla clouds
what kind of noise are you using?

@iron drum does your version of remix atmos only support 64 bit games?
nvm
i js dk how tofigure out clouds we gyes

<@410198342300205066> does your version of remix atmos only support 64 bit games...
sorry, we were sleeping
remix plus works on 32 bit games too
we're working on a new release. it should be out tonight (in ~5 hours)
