[ornate hollow]

?

!

[ornate hollow]

when emissive fixed?

[white willow]

It was fixed this update

[ornate hollow]

enderman

[ornate hollow]

nice

not nice

VERY NICE

[daring jewel]

i wanna know how Alexis fixed the exposure

[tribal trail]

they finally changed emissivity

[wise hinge]

yay cute emissice bow

[ornate hollow]

!!!

resolution option was affect to panorama too

FPS too

[sonic canopy]

Yes, most VV settings now should affect the look of panorama

As it is actually rendered with all VV post processing

[ornate hollow]

W

[white willow]

It's very cool they've done this

[bitter cargo]

intentionally?

[sonic canopy]

I would assume so

[ornate hollow]

and it less crash when load into the world

[sonic canopy]

Panorama is in HDR format, so tonemapping, color grading and bloom can properly apply to it

[vague shoal]

Luminous dreams nether and end is broken

[wise hinge]

holy my ipad is cooked

[quick beacon]

It's broken for everyone this preview

[vague shoal]

That’s not good

[ornate hollow]

OHHHHHH

shadow look different

[sonic canopy]

I don't feel excited about updates anymore. It just feels like they create more problems than they solve, specifically around vfx and shader dev. Removal of shader code, graphics mode hotkey, latest versions breaking consistency in rendering order of things in marketplace vfx (100% of the coolest vxf you see rely on this!). It's demotivating.

[white willow]

End and nether are broken in general

[vague shoal]

☹️

[quick beacon]

Water

[daring jewel]

wait new sky for rain

[white willow]

Yep rain got updates

[ornate hollow]

better a bit

HMMMMM

[daring jewel]

btw did you figure out how to fix exposure

[white willow]

Haven't been on pc yet

[daring jewel]

if you can let me know when you do

[rocky halo]

Wow

[ornate hollow]

👍

point light at low

ummm

shadow acne

GG

[white willow]

just when i thought the shadows were done with highschool, the acne returns

[long ruin]

new cloud texture easter egg

pretty cool lol

[ornate hollow]

real

[white willow]

yo thats fire

[daring jewel]

if i am not wrong this is also parity in java aswell

[white willow]

underwater in vv just got better too. when viewed from above its not perfectly see through anymroe

[faint frigate]

How are the caustics? The changelog said they made them more smooth but I haven't seen a comparison yet

[white willow]

they look way better

im weary to roll back tho

but heres how they look rn

rather subtle now

[faint frigate]

That's much better 👌

[white willow]

oh yea and VL fog is far more present in default vv

also contrast between lit area and shadow is far better too

AND the pixelated shadows look WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better than before

[quick nymph]

I wouldn't usually use 75% res for screenshots but those weren't intended to be good ones...

Thank you!

[tribal trail]

why? what changed in shadows

[white willow]

they have softening

[proud pike]

:o

[white willow]

it looks eerily similar to madlad's gilded graphics

[proud pike]

[white willow]

yea... yea....

the only difference is that the shadow penumbras in rtx are variable whereas vv is just PCF

[sonic canopy]

Is there actually any softness in VV? I'm not seeing it, just looks like a boolean 0 or 1, in shadow or in sunlight

[white willow]

tbh im not sure. i thought there was but what it looks like to me is the method of doing the pixelation got improved

fine ill roll back and test lol

[tribal trail]

they look totally the same for me

[white willow]

after rolling back a few versions it is the same

must be coincidence

[white willow]

auto exposure is really putting in work lmao. idk what you guys changed but it handles the brightness quite well

[rocky halo]

It's natural VV ?

[white willow]

yea didnt change anything

[blazing whale]

Very dark

[blazing whale]

now can change the color of the sky when it rains but there is no puddle effect on terrain

[pale urchin]

my lava isn't glowing :/

[quasi trench]

maybe they set their console resolution to that number? although i think it should be unavailable to enable for them so idk what they’re doing

[white willow]

Are you using default vv?

[pale urchin]

yes

lava is very red

[white willow]

Ah yea that's why

[pale urchin]

what did this mean then?

[white willow]

I thought they meant like config changes

Then let me correct

No it's not vanilla VV

My bad for misunderstanding

[pale urchin]

they probably did

[toxic swallow]

Wow night looks really good now

[quick nymph]

Apologies in advance if I have asked this question before but is there any plans to add refraction/caustics through translucent materials, for example caustics cast through a glass pbr material?

[white willow]

no it wont be

thats super expensive

its only really doable in path tracers

[quick nymph]

Thanks

[sonic canopy]

Screen space refraction is a thing

[white willow]

I don't think I've seen any shader (in Minecraft) use screen space refraction to do that

It would be cool but considering it seems we may not even get that in VV it's unlikely

[quick nymph]

But not in VV atm (or ever probably)

[sonic canopy]

I thought it was quite common

[white willow]

The refraction is common but I haven't seen many do it with caustics

[ornate hollow]

is end flash ambient sound support custom sound?

[quick beacon]

It should, since it's inside of sound_definitions.json

[sonic canopy]

does anyone else have broken pbr in rtx on latest preview? None of the pbr textures are loading

[silent zealot]

You need the "Allow ingame graphics mode" enable.

#1374416086455292005 message

[sonic canopy]

I have that enabled

Yeah idk, seems completely broken, nothing I do works

Can't work on my rtx shaders anymore

K, all I had to do was disable and enable the graphics mode switching toggle (it's on by default when I open the game).

It's like an entire quest just to enable a different graphics mode

[silent zealot]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1300114354129338408

Does pbr work for this amyone test lately?

[ornate hollow]

and what about cubemap for end sky?

[daring jewel]

That’s broken in vv as it’s pure black now

Don’t know what’s it with vv and the end, something has to break with it every update

[glossy torrent]

Where would i place these if i were to maker a pack that has them custom, because i have tried both inside and outside the textures folder but they do not appear in game

[iron moon]

#704786175872991322 message

[ornate hollow]

there's small fixed for point light shadow

[true otter]

OHHH

i had that problem

[quasi trench]

stop looking so pwetty

[tribal trail]

rizma power

[long ruin]

rizzma

[blazing whale]

without fog

[tribal trail]

is it just me or per biome atmospherics don't work anymore?

[blazing whale]

yes, i tried it too and it didn't work, but on rayleigh it works normally

[tribal trail]

also color grading is not working for me in deepdark

tbh none configs work there

@still zenith sorry for ping but per biome atmospherics is broken

[rocky halo]

mojang curse pbr moment

Lava and lightning_bolt aren't glowing and mace isn't consistent

also the beam isn't glowing

[white willow]

We can't make lighting emissive regardless

There's no texture for it. It's hardcoded

[rocky halo]

well it doesn't look good

[white willow]

Well yea it looks bad, I'm just saying there's no way for us to do it and they probably should change it shader side

[rocky halo]

also weird

[still zenith]

Oh no. Can you send me your pack, please? Just the JSONs, no textures. 🙏

[tribal trail]

sure

[ornate hollow]

pixelate shadow is broken on low shadow setting

this is medium shadow setting

low

medium

soft have issue too

acne shadow

in low setting

it fixed on medium setting

ah yes

low

medium

[ornate hollow]

no ping

[fading kindle]

do anyone knows how to make the rain looks better in RTX?

[remote tree]

It is possible to change the texture of the particle with a resource pack

[fading kindle]

do u have any suggest pack?

[rocky halo]

this bug will surely haunt minecraft bedrock edition

fun thing with spectator

[remote tree]

I think there are a few on curseforge, can't really recommend a specific one though as I haven't tried them

[daring jewel]

Hmmm, a bit tooooo dark for a shadow

[fading kindle]

got it, thx :>

[white willow]

Welcome back stripe lands

[quasi trench]

this preview is very strange for playstation, but good eye candy moments

pointlights now eat performance again whereas before on low pointlight shadow + low fog settings, they had zero impact on the performance

ssr at least doesnt tank as much fps but now it has weird black visual bugs all over it on most angles

framerate is once again uncapped but not when i first loaded in

i dont think it’s displaying more than 60 properly however since a bunch of screen tearing happens when i exceed 60

my 4k 144hz monitor still says it’s on 60hz mode

i hope all this leads to some sort of improvement

especially for a way for minecraft to run 120Hz on a console

one last thing: deferred render distance can now be turned up to 28 instead of 24

i kept it at 24 for now so there could be a comparison

also a bonus extremely rare minecraft screenshot:

[long ruin]

same

[ornate hollow]

HMMMM

[wise hinge]

?

[ornate hollow]

why i see the block look like it have normalmaps in underwater?

[wise hinge]

at least to me, it doesn't looks like that it has normalmap

[ornate hollow]

no any normalmaps in the pack

full heightmaps

[white willow]

god i wish i had time to work on my VV packs

but finals week 😔

[tribal trail]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

quartz has SSS

I'm crying

why

emerald too

it hurts

WHY BONES HAVE SSS, THEY SHOULDN'T PASS LIGHT THROUGH

[quasi trench]

very funni

[wise hinge]

good contrast between sky and terrain

[quick beacon]

That's pretty

[quasi trench]

pink

[wise hinge]

pink

[tribal trail]

thank youu

[tribal trail]

Both words, pink and prizma starts on a same letter, coincidence?

[humble drift]

https://tenor.com/view/watper-silly-world-silly-world-minecraft-gif-26922517

[long ruin]

[civic radish]

Good holes, how long it took to model them?

[graceful iron]

Model?

They use normal maps

but for the most part it took me maybe 10-15 minutes?

[ornate hollow]

how did you learn how normalmaps work in RGB ?

[white willow]

It's set up in kinda like a 3D modeling software. Red is the X axis, green is the Y axis and blue is the Z axis

Although blue mostly goes unused in games

In previews on average I'm around 90-130 in VV. Disabling point lights brings it up to around 150-180 but that's still not amazing performance

[jagged badge]

Emerald and quartz are crystalline, not opaque.

But bones having subsurface scattering is a bit weird IMO

[leaden stump]

What does LessEqual in depth function do? And should i use it for entities?

[dusky lagoon]

Is screen space global illumination is possible to come in vibrant visual

[quick nymph]

I doubt it

[tribal trail]

Possible but it would look very bad

It's better to have no GI than Screen space GI

[long ruin]

[iron moon]

This happened to me when you're really far away from 0 0 0

[quasi trench]

me wan GI

[gentle grotto]

SSGI can look good

Nostalgia and kappa does it pretty good, that is Java though so idk if it would have to be done differently

[white willow]

What they do wouldn't be possible for VV as they do SSPT rather than SSGI.

[gentle grotto]

What exactly is the difference? Isn’t SSGI still kinda like path tracing or whatever

[white willow]

SSPT does every bit of indirect lighting

SSGI is only global illumination

its a bit heavier tho too

SSPT not ssgi

[gentle grotto]

Ohhhh

[gentle grotto]

Wait what else does it do?

[white willow]

skylight, blocklight, direct, indirect

whatever

SSGI is a bit mroe limited but cheaper

SSPT also doesnt have the same leakage issues that SSGI has

[tribal trail]

It can look good, can be denoised very well but will still be screen space

[gentle grotto]

Doesn’t mean it’s bad though

[gentle grotto]

Ohhhh

[white willow]

i mean same can be said about SSR as well

it can look good, be pretty accurate but still screenspace

[tribal trail]

but it does, it is not good when your lighting can disappear when you look away

[tribal trail]

no it can't, SSR is paird with IBL

and reflections disappearing is not as visible as lighting disappearing

[gentle grotto]

It’s just world space lighting is expensive

And vv is gonna most be used on slower hardware

Soooooooo

[tribal trail]

true, thats why i say no GI is better than screen space GI

because lightning being screen space and disappear all the time is BAD

[gentle grotto]

Screen space gi imo is pretty good though

Especially like hbil

It’s just preference I guess

[blazing whale]

Improve godrays

[gentle grotto]

Is this done shader side or are you just using super low contrast?

Or are you using high absorption values?

[tribal trail]

how is it Improved?

looks normal to me

[blazing whale]

High absorption on fogs plains

[gentle grotto]

Ahhhhh yeah thought so

Was wondering how it was so dark

Looks good

[proud pike]

Gotta say, this looks quite nice

[blazing whale]

it is influenced by auto exposure too

[gentle grotto]

Is new auto exposure and stuff that good?

I haven’t used vv in a few previews

[tribal trail]

yes and no

it works great with items

it's VERY FAST

and i love it

[gentle grotto]

That’s exactly what I’ve been wanting

Omg

I’m so excited now

[tribal trail]

and it doesn't make your whole screen very dark when you look at the sun

but it makes your screen brighter when you look at the sun (and night time looks very bright to me now)

but i'll take it over old auto exposure

its nearly perfect

[dusky lagoon]

LPV official

Any chance

[ornate hollow]

LPV for sun is better than ssgi

[stark harness]

I'm wonder if pointl light shadows will be in the release version of vibrant visuals

[sonic canopy]

Point lights themselves most likely won't

[sonic canopy]

Here I was experimenting with black-body radiation (objects that glow due to high temperature). Sword and trident at 1000 and 2000 C degrees respectively, with a realistic emission spectra and intensity

[proud pike]

Whoa

[jagged badge]

That armor stand must have some serious burns

[ornate hollow]

LPV is better technique than SSGI for VV

we just need indirect lighing for sun

light sources we have point light as direct lighthing and floodfill as indirect

only sun is lack of indirect lighting

[leaden stump]

@ how do i make armor trims glow in deferred?

[graceful iron]

Some stuffs for Vibrancy

[ornate hollow]

create mer texture for it

ay

that's good idea

[white willow]

It doesn't work

It's an overlay texture. Currently overlay textures don't accept PBR materials

[ornate hollow]

[white willow]

Dang reflections extend out quite far now (on ultra)

Seems to be on mobile too, although the fade is far harsher

[quasi trench]

so i wasn’t going crazy about that

[humble drift]

Bla bla bla boykisser

[bitter cargo]

do entities randomly flicker for anyone else?

[sonic canopy]

1.21.82 moment

There is a bug that renders RCs in inconsistent order, so if the appearance of your entities depends on RC render order, it can change or flash across frames

This is fixed in previews and should hopefully be fixed in release in a week or two, since it really messes up material based VFX

[bitter cargo]

specifically when VV is on

[safe urchin]

is it possible to use dlss with VV

[proud pike]

No

[white willow]

oh i wish. Mojang give us DLSS 4 support and my life is yours

[pale urchin]

So what does everyone think of the beacon beam?

[white willow]

its emissive now?

[pale urchin]

it's very noticeable at night at least

[pale urchin]

How long did this exist?

[white willow]

not sure. ive had a beacon bean texture in my pack since like 1.21.20 and it never worked

so must be recent

[pale urchin]

are you able to check if it works?

[white willow]

in a few. i have to write a paper for class

[silent zealot]

Whats the directory?

Nvm, found it.

[sonic canopy]

Meanwhile, RTX:

(pbr still broken in general, beacon beam is still PBRless)

[silent zealot]

1.21.90.23

[pale urchin]

yes unfortunate

[wise hinge]

[blazing whale]

I hope the bug on VL Fog that cannot follow the moon direction can be fixed later for the next update (this I use the default from the Minecraft)

[white willow]

im not seeing this on my end

but very strange bug

[long ruin]

Reminds me of when RTX had that issue a long time ago

I think it was only when it was underwater where the fog flipped to the opposite side of where the moon was

[white willow]

i made the moon brighter to show it im not really seeing this

[bitter cargo]

the end sky is too bright now

[wise hinge]

I see it too

[white willow]

Really? I don't think it's that bright

[bitter cargo]

i feel like it lessens the effect of the end storms

[white willow]

I think it's alright tbh

[bitter cargo]

id prefer if they made the ambient lighting on the blocks brighter

slightly

[white willow]

The end sky in vanilla has always been a kinda bright ish purple. It was only black before because of a bug

[bitter cargo]

okay its not too bad

but it needs more than just a gradient

[iron moon]

This is your custom shader right?

[sonic canopy]

Yes

[safe urchin]

why does rtx hide nametags

[ornate hollow]

bug

[white willow]

uhhhhhhhh blocks cant render SSR in the nether

[pale urchin]

I think it's an issue with "block light" over powering the reflection. it happens in the overworld too

[white willow]

doesnt seem to be the case

current iteration of SSR is so much better than a few previews ago

before the reflections here would literally just not render

looks ridiculous

there had to have been something up with how they calculated fresnel before

[ornate hollow]

😢

[ornate hollow]

umm

[quasi trench]

interesting

[white willow]

whaaaaat

[ornate hollow]

G

[white willow]

seems like a weird issue cuz it works now

[ornate hollow]

👍

haiya out of nitro

[white willow]

SSR looks so good in this version

let me go back a few previews because im curious now

[quasi trench]

lettuce sea how it improved

[white willow]

so

even just a few previews back its the same as it is now

but

it looks like vanilla block light no longer influences the color

or idek

[quasi trench]

hmmm

[white willow]

.23

.27

ok materials definitely look better

the more i sit here in the nether the more i realize how overtuned the auto exposure is

this level of adjustment is a little insane

@still zenith sorry for the ping. i think theres some issues with auto exposure, especially in locations that are just block lighting. regular non emissive diamond blocks are triggering aggressive light adaptation.

also it looks like it heavily over corrects for emissive sources in areas with poor lighting (like the nether)

[wintry sigil]

this is a really metal auto exposure vid

[white willow]

real

also another side note, ive been playing alot with native recently but reenabled upscaling for a bit, there is a lot of image instability

the TAAU is a little funky and could use a bit of improvement. It's really hard to explain what is wrong with it though

the image feels overly blurry compared to how it used to be many versions ago, i think the overly blurred TAAU popped up around 1.21.70, someone feel free to correct me if im wrong here. The actual final image itself is very like... shimmery? idk how to describe it. I think this is what would be called temporal instability

im on 1440p using 75% res and the image looks 720p. thats the best way to describe how blurred the image is

[white willow]

here is 1.21.70.25 with upscaling on at 1440p 75%

here is latest with upscaling on 1440p 75%

heres a side by side too

current vv upscaling is so blurry

[tribal trail]

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING

tho i see that in 2 pervious ago they imrpoved artefacts and ghosting a lot

i hope they will improve and fix sharpness again

[white willow]

the image quality needs to be restored because this is awful

[tribal trail]

FR!!

[white willow]

im at 1440p. it should not be that blurry

especially with 75% res

[tribal trail]

before it was not blurry even on 1080p

[white willow]

however its nice to see how much better theyve made VV since then. they even mostly fixed the crappy ibl applications

and SSS seems to apply better too

along with the improvements to SSR too

1.21.90 versions of VV feel way more like a finished product than a beta. but theres these small things like the auto exposure being really goofy and TAAU looking like straight garbage

[quasi trench]

i knew it i wasnt crazy with the TAAU

looks worse than before

even 75% upscale off 4k

it’s overly blurry

if mojang devs were insane they’d drop fsr and pssr and dlss and xess

[jagged badge]

And SNES too

[tribal trail]

what is pssr?

and snes?

too many upscalers 0.o

[long ruin]

PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution :)

[tribal trail]

oooh

I wonder what's next? Apple make its own upscaler?

[quasi trench]

iSR

iSuperResolution

[white willow]

It has one

It's called MetalFX Upscaling or something I forgot

Yea that's the name

[quasi trench]

Bilinear, TAAU, DLSS, PSSR, FSR, XeSS, MetalFX for vibrant visuals when mojang

MSAA if you want to be funny

Checkerboarding if you want to be crazy

[white willow]

Default mc has MSAA

LOL

would be cool to let us use it on native

[tribal trail]

💀

[wise hinge]

fsr
i want it so badly

but not fsr1

no idea if fsr3 or 4 is better than taau

[white willow]

FSR 4 is roughly DLSS 3.1 level quality. FSR 3 might be slightly better that TAAU? Idk I think mojang can get away with TAAU if they just fix the awful image quality of the current version

I'm using native until then at this point

Even if the awful aliasing sucks a lot

Heck I'll take FXAA at native at this point. I've done an FXAA implementation and it doesn't look bad.

[tribal trail]

fsr 3 has more ghosting than mojang TAAU, they just need to make it sharper again and it will be better than FSR

[wise hinge]

[quasi trench]

i’ve seen it compared to be on par with dlss 4 cnn model

though i think it costs more is the thing

[quasi trench]

this is also an issue

even at 4k all the aliasing is just a nono

[white willow]

updated the AgX tonemapper I added to RTX with color temperature control

[quick nymph]

I think I prefer colder temperature in that scene

[brave star]

warm looks good

[iron moon]

If only we could have per biome tonemapping same as vv 😔

[gaunt sparrow]

yeah 🫩

[bitter cargo]

bilinear is supposedly worse but taau is so blurry

like i might as well put vaseline on my screen

[ornate hollow]

really cool

[ornate hollow]

?

[white willow]

idk you can see it happening in the video 🤷‍♂️

also that magma block is influencing auto exposure hard

[white willow]

i just downloaded vanilla pbr to test and i can replicate this issue

[ornate hollow]

vibrant vanilla PBR

in mcpedl is outdated

it's available for now in github

[white willow]

with blocklight in the scene, the diamond block causes auto exposure to freak out

i have no idea why

[ornate hollow]

it doesn't happen to me

even light source nearby

very very weird

[white willow]

dont be outside

go in a cave or something

its fine outside i tested

nvm

it happens outside too

[ornate hollow]

i see

yes

[white willow]

happens even with a soul torch which emits softer blocklight

[ornate hollow]

it happen to metallic blocks

all metallic

or the thing can reflect

[white willow]

happens with white wool too

seems to be anything with a brighter albedo

[ornate hollow]

i see

black wool doesn't

interesting

i pretty sure it was feature

not bug

[safe urchin]

why do shadows look low quality even on ultra

and shadow isn't properly aligned with the grass

[iron moon]

That's something i hate so much in vv

[ornate hollow]

shadow bias

[quick beacon]

I kind of like that

[tribal trail]

same

they are soft and kinda cute

[toxic swallow]

What pack is this

Looks like complementary

[safe urchin]

prizma visuals

[safe urchin]

they flicker as the sun is moving

[toxic swallow]

Isn't prizma pink

[quasi trench]

thats one of my gripes about it

if it was fixed id be fine with it

also i think the weird z fighting issue came back to the grass

[tribal trail]

do you expect grass texture to be pink?

besides latest 1.3.7 changed shadows color and fog color

and 1.3.6 already made horizon less pink

[tribal trail]

[toxic swallow]

It is whenever I play

Usually I just edit the screenshot

to make it more yellow

[tribal trail]

texture was never pink (old screenshot)

[jagged badge]

Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Not an upscaler, I'm just being silly

It sure sounds like it could be one though, does it not

[white willow]

i was gonna say

where you just listing out abbreviations lmao

[jagged badge]

I'm not sure if I should find it funny or sad, that I namedropped something that old and nobody recognized it. It made the joke work, but at what cost 😔

[white willow]

idk. i mean i laughed when i first saw it, just didnt say anything

the SNES is goated tho

wish we never sold the one we had

[quasi trench]

i have an old NES still working, just needs a new power adapter

[tribal trail]

it does 😭

[white willow]

Ported all my recent PBR textures over to VV, the results were fairly consistent with RTX

[dusky lagoon]

Initial but awesome buggy

[ornate hollow]

firstly how did you activate/deactivate resource pack????

[dusky lagoon]

In world

Without leaving it

[ornate hollow]

that impossible

[dusky lagoon]

That's possible bro

[dusky lagoon]

Nothing is impossible

Also suprise work in multiplayer

Now buggy because initial

[pale urchin]

how?

you modified the settings JSON UI to enable the activate/deacticate buttons?

[dusky lagoon]

No

[pale urchin]

then what?

[dusky lagoon]

It's by using Levi lanccher

[pale urchin]

So you modded it?

[dusky lagoon]

And bedrock resources pack manger .so

[pale urchin]

Didn't know levi worked on Android

[dusky lagoon]

It work

Real time pack change work great but its initial so it buggy

[ornate hollow]

it bugged is very common

[dusky lagoon]

Yes for now

[ornate hollow]

for now?

if it work

[dusky lagoon]

It supported version is 1.21.70 and 1.21.80

[ornate hollow]

that maybe another tropic

not about graphic

HDRI in VV

[proud pike]

:O

[white willow]

HDRI???????? thats dope

[sonic canopy]

1. download hdri from https://polyhaven.com/hdris
2. convert to .hdr cubemap here https://matheowis.github.io/HDRI-to-CubeMap/
3. include .hdr cubemap in resource pack, by copying all cubemap face textures into textures/environment/overworld_cubemap with the names cubemap_0.hdr to cubemap_5.hdr

Issues:

• top and bottom cubemap faces are mirrored (can be fixed in image editor like gimp)
• cubemap itself is rendered with an offset https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE/issues/MCPE-183454

[sonic canopy]

This might've been a thing for a long time, HDRI cubemap material bin was added a long time ago

It's also possible to add support for HDRI in RP via RTX shader modding

Very unfortunate that they still haven't fixed that bug with a cubemap offset tho, it's very noticeable and breaks the illusion. Would need to make a custom script that can compensate for the offset, by generating cubemap faces with the inverse offset already baked-in

[proud pike]

would the legacy cubemap shader made by furzide fix this issue in VV?

https://github.com/Furzide/RenderDragonCubemapFix

[sonic canopy]

Probably not, I think there is a different material for VVs cubemap. But it should be simple enough to modify it as well

[proud pike]

i see

[sonic canopy]

Tbh there is no reason why mojang can't fix it. It's probably just a 1 line of code edit + maybe a bit of extra code for versioning this behaviour

[proud pike]

its been a thing for so long too

[white willow]

do you still have this one, id like to test it. idk if im doing something wrong or what but it looks super wrong no matter what

[sonic canopy]

Yeah it's very bright

oh so i am doing it right

it just looks kinda bad

[sonic canopy]

This is the one I used on that first message https://polyhaven.com/a/qwantani_dusk_2

As of right now some features that were added during the 1.21.90.x preview cycle is not out obviously as the release version is 1.21.80. These include stuff like per biome lighting,color grading and atmospherics. Also some bug fixes and improvements which will all be in full release 1.21.90

[sonic canopy]

Yes https://polyhaven.com/a/kloppenheim_06_puresky

[white willow]

Ok so I did name them correctly just the skybox didn't wanna align correctly lol. Got it

[sonic canopy]

Yeah it's offset vertically (MC bug) and top and bottom faces are flipped afaik

[white willow]

Probably

You'd think this would've been fixed by now

(Talking the offset issue)

Especially with VV becoming the new look of the game (even though running cubemaps is not common)

[sonic canopy]

Yeah XD. Maybe it will be fixed shortly, now that VV is getting official HDRIs. If I'll have time for it next week, I'll try to write a script that can generate cubemap with baked-in counter-offset, so that it looks correct in-game

I think one of the more important fundamental issues with HDRI in VV is that it's only used for specular. Indirect diffuse and direct sunlight are still using your current graphics' pack's values which may be very different from the ones that would make sense with HDRI. So there can be some tuning needed to make sure all the values match and work together

[white willow]

Which lead to images like this

Where the specular is beyond cooked from it 😂

[white willow]

HDRI support just feels like something they messed with internally for fun and forgot to turn off cuz it feels really unfinished

[sonic canopy]

Actually it's quite possible that they didn't intend to support it in VV. What might've happened is that they allowed to use .hdr textures everywhere in the game, just like regular textures. But when used as a cubemap, HDRIs must be treated in a special way from regular textures. I'll investigate it some time next week, HDRI textures might need some additional processing before they can look right

[true tree]

opposite for me

hella dark

[white willow]

also possible

[unborn moss]

wait, does minecraft rely more on cpu rather than gpu?

[white willow]

in vanilla yes. raytracing no

it seemed in that specific shot that the games relied more on cpu

[sonic canopy]

No, those are all in-game screenshots of my BRTX offline renderer shaderpack

[unborn moss]

this ones are in game too?

[sonic canopy]

All of them

No editing either, just screenshoted and sent through discord as is

[unborn moss]

how do u get those clouds?

tf?

[sonic canopy]

It's an HDRI, basically a texture for the sky that is able to illuminate everything in the world in a realistic manner

[unborn moss]

WHAT?

i,m not gonna ask how it works cause i would understand shit ngl

impresive

dos it rely on brtx?

[sonic canopy]

Yes, it's based on BRTX but it replaces all of its shader logic with custom code

So it's a heavily modified version of BRTX basically, and you need an RTX capable GPU to run it

[unborn moss]

i know that

lmao, an mod for a mod

how would that aply to other pressets?

[sonic canopy]

This is not BetterRTX but my own separate shaderpack. BetterRTX modified vanilla RTX, while what I have completely rewrites it from scratch.

[unborn moss]

so urs is pretty much a separate mod?

[sonic canopy]

Yes

It is entirely separate

are there any vibrant visual packs with similar lighting as this? ik this is rtx but a lot of the vv packs have really harsh white lighting

Lots of people are making vibrant visuals/deferred packs, myself included. Also why did you say for bedrock because bedrock is the only version of minecraft with VV?

[toxic swallow]

Im talking about a port of complementary reimagined in bedrock

[quick nymph]

I think that Ale might be making a complementary deferred pack, if not just use revolution deferred it kinda looks like complementary or make one yourself.

[toxic swallow]

idk how to make deferred packs neither do I have the time to make and learn one

normal VV

i activated VV pack in global resource

it's still use default

Also it sounds like the person doesn't have any knowledge of graphics (in mc bedrock) because they keep repeating the same stuff.

If your deferred pack is crashing in the most recent preview (or any other resource pack), I suggest you update your biomes folder's format version to 1.21.70 to resolve the crash.

[wise hinge]

ohh that's why my pack didn't crash

But im also curious about why some packs are laggy in the nether..

[quasi trench]

[quick nymph]

Is there any easy way to do this or do I have to go through each one manually?

Yikes! That was a lot of replacing!

[white willow]

If you do development on windows and use visual studio code, it has the option to do a batch search and replace

[white willow]

Oh...

[quick nymph]

Yeah I just did it manually...

[quasi trench]

despite the biome files being all brokey in this preview, it has been pretty exciting for vibrant visuals performance

unless the issue has improved performance at least

but anyways max settings in 4k performance has improved even more

in the overworld its almost playable in barren biomes such as the desert or mesa

in the nether… its nearly entirely playable, just dont get to close to glowstone or your own nether portal for too long

turning upscaling to 75% is when things become undoubtedly playable

the biggest issue comes down to.. you guessed it: pointlight shadows

unfortunately setting it to low seems to barely improve the performance whereas before(for a couple previews) you got the best of both worlds

setting that setting to off is the only real way to preserve performance around torches still

but instead of 1/2 my performance, it seems to have tanked only 1/3?

so even though its a large issue it’s being handled

ssr once again might have had performance improved

only tanking i really notice is in 4k, but it maintains around mid 30s vs completely bottoming out at 26

and the input delay is not as abysmal due to performance stress

overall very good stuff to see, with only one more day of waiting for next time

[safe urchin]

so do i change all of these ?

ok i saw the messages above about it

thanks for letting us know

[quasi trench]

if the mesa bryce biome folder has 1.21.90 change it to .70

gave me an error within the in-game logs & i haven’t bothered to go look

oh wait thats prizma instead

Both base game and LS have SSS. Not sure why it wouldn't be showing up

Unless you're using some ancient LD version but it has normalmaps so I'm inclined to believe it's latest

For anyone who's looking to turn on Ray Tracing after the new 1.21.90 update, here's what you need to know:

Make sure Allow In-Game Graphics Mode Switching is turned on, then you can enter a world and change the graphics mode to Ray Traced. It doesn't work in the main menu due to this bug:

Ray Tracing can only be enabled while loaded in a world
https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE/issues/MCPE-191513

Also keep in mind that you'll need to toggle the Allow In-Game Graphics Mode Switching option off and on again every time you reopen the game to make sure PBR textures still load. Bug report for that here:

"Allow In-game Graphics Mode Switching" must be toggled on for PBR textures to load with Ray Tracing
