Grass is not broken to be RTX (I didn't want to say that)

[tribal trail]

grass is broken in rtx?

[limpid sequoia]

i dunno what's wrong with rtex in stable version

or just my skill issues

[rancid seal]

Hmm

[rancid seal]

It is not like broken, but RTX doesn't support one-side rendering

So grass looks kinda weird.

[tribal trail]

it looks okay?

[rancid seal]

Not grass blocks, short and tall grass

[tribal trail]

OOOH

[rancid seal]

Why Minecraft RTX sky isn't something like that

It looks so much better than default one

[tribal trail]

that horizon is a bit too white

[rancid seal]

Im pretty sure there are people in Mojang that are more creative than me, but even the simple thing as the sky doesn't look that beautiful.

And this thing without this a bit too white horizon

There is a bright stripe left in the sky, because I need to work on night fragment of the sky

This is where this stripe from

Idk it looks not bad

[quick nymph]

It looks cool IMO

In the actual game it doesn't look as good though, it's very bright

[quick beacon]

Sunset

[iron moon]

Lol

[rancid seal]

It looks good when its night time tho

I can send you a texture if you want to do some experiments

[quick nymph]

That's awesome! And nah I don't really do rtx that much or VV tbh

[sonic canopy]

Is it just me or is official minecraft server doesn't have any channels anymore?

This is all I see

[sonic canopy]

Nvm it's maintenance, should've read the announcements channel

Maybe they will finally allow me to post images in #renders-and-shaders🤞

[limpid sequoia]

Quirky preset looks so good

[quick nymph]

Ngl those cameras are so boring, it works well for like the first 10 sec but then it's just too linear and not very interesting

[limpid sequoia]

just for fun because i'm not interested in ray at all

i only interested in vv

[wise hinge]

I'm interested in tracing

[quasi trench]

even stencil tracing?

[wise hinge]

yes

[limpid sequoia]

i dunno why is it point light not static light

something wrong?

[wise hinge]

see if folder name(local_lighting), file name (local_lighting.json), format version(1.21.120), and light type is correct

[limpid sequoia]

i did

but it doesn't work

[wise hinge]

can you drop your json here

[limpid sequoia]

ofc

[wise hinge]

I found no issue with that json :p

[quick nymph]

Try importing the pack again

Also are there any errors on the console?

[limpid sequoia]

there are not

[limpid sequoia]

thank you!

[quick nymph]

Very odd, and it still doesn't work?

[limpid sequoia]

yess

i'll try to turn off Point Light option

[wise hinge]

Is your folder/file location correct

it looks like your json is ignored

[limpid sequoia]

yes that is local_lighting/local_lighting.json

[wise hinge]

like this? under your rp

[limpid sequoia]

yes it is

[wise hinge]

[limpid sequoia]

i imported it 2 times already

but it's still like this

[wise hinge]

I couldn't replicate the issue with your config

[rancid seal]

And I don't think villages look like this after 1.14 lol

I think i kinda fixed short grass

[still zenith]

@pale urchin moving convo to here

[pale urchin]

Hi

[still zenith]

If weather is on its way, does that mean you're closer to adding static lighting to volumetric fog?
We have to move some things to the GPU first. It's on the roadmap though. Static light in the fog looks soooooo good.

[pale urchin]

Well the reason why I ask is since weather is a "global" thing, I assume the prerequisite would be having the coloured light data on the GPU

Unless you decide to give each individual particle the light colour on the CPU side xD

[sonic canopy]

It could be a 2d texture generated on the CPU. Terrain occlusion and lighting of rain particles is already being handled like that

via a 2d texture that stores terrain height map and surface light level

[pale urchin]

I guess that would work, but it would be a pretty crude approximation. What about a scenario where you have a tower lit by torches? That wouldn't play so nicely

Since they're working on volumetric fog lighting, wouldn't it make sense to use the same technology on weather?

[sonic canopy]

True, didn't think about that case

GPU static light propagation would be so epic tho. Very powerful feature to exploit in custom shaders as well 👁️

[white willow]

huge. So we are also getting weather customization/changes soon?

[quick nymph]

Please say yes, that is the most needed customisation for VV

[still zenith]

No customization for weather itself I'm afraid. Just adding support for the block light feature.

[white willow]

Ah man

Alright

Rainbows in VV possibly sometime??? 🥹

[tribal trail]

Oh :(

[tribal trail]

Oh my god, my dream

My dream next to chromatic aberration and DOF

[white willow]

I used to be a chromatic aberration hater but

I've been messing with it in betterRTX

It's kinda nice when really weak

[tribal trail]

I really love that effect

[pale urchin]

All my chips are in custom shader support

[quick nymph]

DoF makes for great screenshots so does chromatic aberration but I don't like playing with dof

[white willow]

It's super subtle here but it's nice

[quick nymph]

I literally cannot see it

[white willow]

It's sad cuz RTX was gonna have rainbows but it never got implemented

[quick nymph]

All your silicon chips?
-# sorry for bad joke

[white willow]

It's weak and only at the edges of the screen

Want to note it's only chromatic aberration

There's no DOF

[quick nymph]

Ohh yeah I can just about see it

[white willow]

I don't like CA very strong. It's just a neat edge distortion effect here

[sonic canopy]

Where was that mentioned?

[quick nymph]

Yeah, personally I prefer slightly more but it's nice when it's subtle

[white willow]

Madlad said the BetterRTX rainbow code was there from before betterRTX just not implemented

[sonic canopy]

Hm, interesting

[white willow]

Yea it's pretty neat

[white willow]

I always find the effect too distracting, but having it in the edges gives it a neat film visual

[quick nymph]

Yeah, again it's one I like for screenshots but not to play with that much

[white willow]

I have it set for gameplay

[tribal trail]

He said „Super subtle” for a reason

[white willow]

But if I'm doing a cinematic DOF preset I like it with stronger CA, makes it feel more like a camera photo

[quick nymph]

IMO that would be "ULTRA Subtle"

[quick nymph]

Indeed

[white willow]

Nah not really it could be way softer

I've tried stronger than what I have by just a value of 0.002 and it ended up being too agressive tbh

[pale urchin]

I can see it

[white willow]

It's really sensitive

[pale urchin]

You guys need glasses 😛

[quick nymph]

I already wear glasses, well lenses actually.

[white willow]

It's funny cuz the way I have tweaked it's similar to that of wearing a pair of glasses. It's there but nothing crazy

[quick nymph]

I was just looking at it on my phone and didn't zoom in enough

[rancid seal]

pws say we are about to get 1 bug fix for rtx

[rancid seal]

Do we get at least 1 bug fix related to RTX in the nearest future? Because this question doesnt let me sleep.

[languid mirage]

nope

[rancid seal]

I ask another person

[tribal trail]

Nah

[silent zealot]

What does weather customisation in of itself mean to people?

[tribal trail]

There are values for weather customization in game files

So exposing these

[silent zealot]

Which file specifically? Couldn't find it from viewing the files name

[proven hemlock]

The team is aware of some of the recent and top RTX issues and regressions flagged here and in JIRA (there was a recent post summarizing some of the most impactful ones - thank you!). No concrete ETAs on them at this time but appreciate the patience as we work through them!

[white willow]

Yay! Biggest hope for a fix is to the chunk flickering when placing blocks

[sonic canopy]

Would be really cool if chunk corruption due to large rendering distances was also fixed

[white willow]

That too

[quick beacon]

I'm gonna buy 50k Minecoins when RTX gets at least 1 bug fix

[white willow]

An official fix to the cloud rendering would be nice as well

Which afaik the fix we did in betterRTX revolved around recalculating normals for them off the geometry normal

[white willow]

could use some roughness variation, but the texture is good

[willow needle]

thanks for the suggestion

[scarlet gust]

Hey look the results are tied

[languid mirage]

Kinda wild

[scarlet gust]

Maybe add a roughness map (the last 2 hexadecimal values of each pixel in the MER map control the roughness). I found this example image online that really shows how much of a difference a roughness map adds

Not exactly sure about the lighting in these images though. The point lights could really use some diffusion

[scarlet gust]

Also lacking some depth of field

Looks like they probably used the AgMax tonemapper

Great use of multi bounce specular rays in the reflections

And by the way I just realized this comparison isn't a good direct comparison because the exposure is different in each render. Multiple variables were changed per render

But you get the idea. Add a roughness map

But don't make it too rough. Just a little bit rough

[rancid seal]

I ask another person

[languid mirage]

You got your answer mf

[rancid seal]

No, cuz I ask another person

[languid mirage]

😂

[languid mirage]

@rancid seal

You didn’t see this?

[rancid seal]

I haven't saw it for some reason

Lemme read it rq

[scarlet gust]

Hey @rancid seal I also hate VV because the tonemapper is diabolical but I'm currently working on a mod that will fix the tonemapping issues

Imo that's the biggest issue with VV

[rancid seal]

So as I understand, there are gonna be fixes, but the date when one of them is going to come out is unknown?

Don't bully me for my terrible English knowledge!

[scarlet gust]

[limpid sequoia]

[limpid sequoia]

yes! i did but nothing change 🗿

[rancid seal]

I really love minecraft because it gives ability to use so many creative ways to make things that feels impossible to do.

For example - let's get back to RTX

Glowing entities - possible

Reflective entities - possible

And this is made using a resource pack, so this is completely default RTX.

And more stuff can be done with modifications like Better RTX

I didn't find a way of making entities metallic tho.

Glowing and reflections are a hard thing if you don't have entity PBR in RTX

I wonder how many those creatives ways aren't discovered at the moment...

Still have nothing to do with items

Because I have almost full controll of entity displaying with a resource pack. Items are out of limits.

[sonic canopy]

Items can use the same rendering as entities, by using something called attachables btw. It allows you to replace 3D model of an item with a model of an entity, with all the fancy materials, so theoretically your entity PBR can be applied to items as well

There are some limits tho, like you can't use render controller fields like light_color_multiplier, so making them emissive will be trickier

[rancid seal]

Oh, maybe this is something I need to try to work with. This is going to be my first time working with items and I think I know nothing about it.
By the way. Can render controllers be applied to custom item models?

[sonic canopy]

Yes, attachables have the same rendering customization as entities, with the only exception that light_color_multiplier, overlay_color and other similar fields in render controllers don't work

[rancid seal]

Oh, that's unfortunate. But I can still apply materials i think

[rancid seal]

@sonic canopy do you know how to work with those custom item models? The best I got is that the item becomes completely invisible. I also get 0 errors in console lol, textures, materials and render controllers - all seems to be fine

LIke I have nothing

[sonic canopy]

Vanilla uses attachables for certain items such as a bow, I can recommend copying a vanilla attachable first, and then slowly modifying it into your own item, that way you can catch exactly when and what goes wrong that causes this issue

[rancid seal]

I think this is the only option for now, but ill do it in the morning, because its 00:09 for me rn

I've already spent an hour trying to discover what I did wrong. By the way, the same situation happened to me when I was first working with entities. My custom entity was always invisible, and I don't remember what was the problem. The only thing I know is that I've managed to fix this thing. So, I hope the same situation is going to happen with items lol

[iron moon]

Binding bones moment

[rancid seal]

Im not sure about it, but someone said me this is might be animation issue. I am trying to see if they're right

[rancid seal]

Welp. I found it.

[rancid seal]

Well, it looks like I did it. It would be actually better if there was a way to use "light_color_multiplyer" for items.

[quick nymph]

That red sand looks like it comes from he'll, it's ultra red

[limpid sequoia]

i dunno why

because of that's sunset time

and my lighting colour is red-orange

and the main reason is my phone using Display P3 so the colour would be oversaturate on another monitors

[quick nymph]

This is what it looks like on my phone:

[limpid sequoia]

on my phone it's not

and yes there are so many difference monitor so i can't make the colour to fit them at all

[quick nymph]

My phone has full dci-p3 as well as srgb/rec 709 to a 0.5 average error, so how is it red on my phone if you have dci-p3 as well?

[limpid sequoia]

it's pale more than that red

i'll check on my pc later

okay, the issue come from my colour grading

i set saturation at 1.2

[quick nymph]

[blazing whale]

I think its because color temperature

[quick nymph]

In minecraft?

[blazing whale]

Yes, on color grading stephen

[quick nymph]

Yeah, could be

[tribal trail]

on my monitor it is very saturated too

[quick nymph]

Haven't checked my laptop but I doubt it will be as bad because it has less colour reproduction than my phone lol

[sonic canopy]

Try rendering it multiple times. Every time it renders, it will add more brightness on top

[quick nymph]

Wouldn't that cause a performance hit?

[quick nymph]

Yeah looks normal on my laptop, because the colour reproduction is pretty trash

[limpid sequoia]

because of saturation at all

i set 1.2

but for mesa it should be 1.1 or 1.04

[blazing whale]

Try 2.0 🗿

[limpid sequoia]

nah

[rancid seal]

Okay, let me try

[tropic rampart]

I wish we had an option to go "yes, i am aware something here doesn't support VV, i want to enable it anyway"

[silk badge]

I have no idea what it is either

[tropic rampart]

as like, VV works fine by default. The game by default still has a sun. It has default values for things, etc.

[silk badge]

Ive checked the main suspects

[tropic rampart]

it looks a little odd in unsupported packs but not so bad that you can't reasonably use it

[silk badge]

Nothing

[tropic rampart]

especially for add-ons/texture packs it should just be like "yeah cool its unsupported idc run it anyway"

let me use classic textures with VV, Mojang!

[white willow]

if anyone is curious why SSAO is a common want

ssao vs vanilla ao

mojang would definitely know how to basically remove noise from the AO unlike me who is still learning

[limpid sequoia]

weird shadows

[rancid seal]

Torches became flashlights

[tribal trail]

It doesn’t have emissivness for blocks without pbr

Idk I think it’s good it works that way

[tropic rampart]

yeah but like, its still usable without that, is it not?
sure, it doesn't look great, but i'd still rather have the option.

[tribal trail]

Because if not for that most packs/addons wouldn’t get proper vv support

[tropic rampart]

Maybe thats true. But right now what it means is a lot of existing packs just can't be used with it.

i guess that's also kind of just a marketplace issue.

no "last updated" tag, no requirement for packs to recieve updates which means a lot of stuff there is just outdated. Including the official "by Minecraft" packs.

[rancid seal]

I need SSS in RTX

[quick beacon]

I might be insane but I feel like SSS in VV is a bit weak?

[wise hinge]

mojang please.

[wise hinge]

I think sss in vv is weak

photon's really good sss

[quick beacon]

Yeah- SSS looks so good but it's such a shame in VV it's not as strong :<

I think it would've been cool if they gave us the ability to mess with SSS via JSON or something

[tribal trail]

I disagree a bit, because on 2D things like grass, flowers, or even mobs, sss is too strong

[limpid sequoia]

i put sss to everything

[tribal trail]

thats not great imo

[limpid sequoia]

yes, so i'll fix it soon

i wish they had something like that officially

even if it’s on the marketplace

[rancid seal]

This one uses official trailer block textures! Well, I mean 90% of them, because official atals doesn't include all trailer block textures for some reason.

Also, I think I need to work with fogs

[quasi trench]

but does it include mobs and items and so on

[rancid seal]

I re-made entity textures, because official mob textures are nowhere to be found. Items - I didn't work with items yet.

[quasi trench]

yeah as i figured you’d have to do

a real official pack would be good

[rancid seal]

And if I won't be lazy, I will also improve animations, because mobs in trailer are so much better then in vanilla

ngl it doesn't look great even with rtx

[rancid seal]

My blue sky doesn't work in vv 😭

[rancid seal]

What te heck happend to clouds

[tribal trail]

it doesn't mean it's great Never see anyone doing bushy hay bales

WOAH, the bottom of rtx clouds can bug out too lol

Didn't know that

Those are bugged out sides

And this is bugged bottom of the sky

[sonic canopy]

Did you intentionally modify VV sun texture, just to mess with VV players using your pack?

[limpid sequoia]

[rancid seal]

I saw people accidentally turning on vv instead of rtx in the past, so I made the vv sun look like that to tell people smth is wrong

[tribal trail]

that is diabolical

[limpid sequoia]

are u

[tribal trail]

just edit UI to remove vibrant visuals button

[rancid seal]

Im lazy

[tribal trail]

[limpid sequoia]

[sonic canopy]

What if people wanted to use your pack with VV for some reason. PBR system is the same in both, why not just let them be. Imagine if all other packs and add-ons started doing the same for RTX, intentionally breaking rendering or not working altogether.

[rancid seal]

1. This pack is made for ray-traced graphics mode. The goal of replacing vv sun texture was not to make people not use my pack, but to warn people they are using wrong graphics mode. Although, isn't that obvious that if there is "RTX" in the name of the pack, that it is not for vv?
2. Even if I didn't do that, a lot of stuff in my pack will look wrong with vv, and you can't get relaxing gameplay as you could in RTX.

[sonic canopy]

I use RTX packs for VV. Just haven't bothered getting proper VV packs, RTX ones work just fine

[rancid seal]

The fogs in my pack doesn't work good with vibrant visuals. Also, do you remember how I used refractions to simulate reflections? This stuff isn't working with vibrant visuals, and you can see transparent iron golems. Although, tranparency method isn't effective for RTX too, so I may do something else with iron golems in the futurue.

[sonic canopy]

There are molang queries that you can use to detect when RTX is enabled, and only then activate rendering that may not work in other graphics modes

Not saying that you have to, just saying that you could do that if you wanted to, fixing entity and item rendering for other graphics modes is possible and not difficult to implement

[rancid seal]

I am not fixing my resource pack for every othher graphics mode tho.

[sonic canopy]

Personally, I would like to see VV and RTX coexist together. Having packs and add-ons that work in all graphics modes. Ofc, when making Fancy, RTX or VV specific pack, you do have to prioritise one over the others, but at least some level of compatibility can still be achieved, just so that the game is not as broken if u temporarily switch graphics modes. Just my opinion tho.

[sonic canopy]

Alright fair, it's your pack after all

[sonic canopy]

What if you use a texture that literally says "this pack is not compatible with VV". Some players might otherwise think it is a bug in VV or something

[rancid seal]

Well, I agree with you. I see a point in porting add-ons for all graphics modes tho. But RTX packs... whatever.

[rancid seal]

I would like just to disable vv for my pack at all, but if I do that, my pack will have pbr not working.

[sonic canopy]

Yeah, ig mojang needs to fix this before that would be possible

you baled the hays :<

your punishment for this crime:

[quick nymph]

[rancid seal]

I fixed crops

I didn't knew there was a way to make rtx sky like more blue, idk, using a resource pack in rtx

[gaunt hatch]

What can I do about this error? The addon just doesn't import after I add a new mer texture or texture set

[quick nymph]

You can create a post in either here or #1067869590400544869

[gaunt hatch]

Im just thugging it out

How do I make something look rough? I know roughness maps are blue but when I load in game the mob is glowing without me touching the emissive layer

[scarlet gust]

These screenshots are genuinely fire

[gaunt hatch]

I apologize if this is probably a simple question but I'm very new to this

[scarlet gust]

Even BetterRTX can't fix clouds (I tried BRTX clouds and it only made the clouds worse) so yeah I just disabled my clouds entirely

[willow needle]

Copper block

[white willow]

This would be because the green gets in there. The thing you're looking for isn't actually the color of the texture, that's irrelevant

The important information is what is on each color channel individually

So if you just make a blue image, there's gonna be some green in there

I have a video on PBR in VV that I posted somewhere here that may be helpful

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1420446949210980485

[gaunt hatch]

Just finished your video, 10/10 It was very helpful. Tysm!

How do I prevent 2d planes zfighting for vibrant visuals??

[silent zealot]

That seems like a generic texture issue tbh.

[gaunt hatch]

Normally I leave one side blank because that's what normally fixes zfighting for me, but it comes back once vibrant visuals is turned on

[rancid seal]

What do you mean? Better RTX is able to fix clouds by recalculating normals

[rancid seal]

I feel like something is wrong with mer map. I think it doesn't fit or something like that tbh. For me, it looks like some kind of smooth stone, I don't know

[scarlet gust]

They didn't use enough roughness

And they also made it too metallic

[rancid seal]

Metalness, you mean?

Because you can't make things reflective without low roughness.

But roughness is also too low

[rancid seal]

Im kinda late, but anyway. I see the point of making hay bales look like that.

[willow needle]

I could have made it more roughness but I wanted something new and unique

Later I will also try with a rougher surface texture via normalmap

[rancid seal]

I also have a project that brings realistic textures and models to the game, and stuff like that. But I stopped working with that for a while, because I need to finish other projects

[wise hinge]

mirai shader 2.0

snell's window aw

[blazing whale]

Very laggy

[wise hinge]

yea only when you see the clouds

Besides that, overall performance is insane

[limpid sequoia]

i'll try it on Linux 🗿 that's better

[quasi trench]

that’s like the best shader ever

[white willow]

Glad it was helpful. Hope it was easy to follow :p

[gaunt hatch]

How can I make particles glow in vibrant visuals??

[silent zealot]

Give the textures a mer file.

[gaunt hatch]

oh, now that I think of it my question was pretty dumb. I was just confused because I use blockbench to make an MER as template and then I edit it but I wasn't seeing the option for particle textures so I guess I have to do it myself

[limpid sequoia]

easy

[limpid sequoia]

what can i help you

i made MERs for particles too

[blazing whale]

now better screenshot by @willow needle

[limpid sequoia]

[willow needle]

[gaunt hatch]

do vanilla items have mer files for vibrant visuals??

[silent zealot]

You can check the vanilla files.

[gaunt hatch]

Ima take that as a fat yes 😭

[willow needle]

all variant for copper blocks done

[languid mirage]

VV water stull needs so much work

[rancid seal]

Everything has mers maps

(But I love RTX)

Even when there is no entity or item entity pbr

[rancid seal]

And cool looking end

[wind pollen]

Default RTX?

[rancid seal]

Yes

[languid mirage]

Fancy, VV, RTX

[rancid seal]

RTX looks better here, ngl

[languid mirage]

VV vs RTX

again.

shaded glow berry vines actually look so much better

RTX has so much more depth.

[rancid seal]

I love RTX

[wind pollen]

Its a good thing that VV has colored lighting, but RTX with GI is just stunning.

[tribal trail]

i think your block light colors are an issue here

[rancid seal]

Reflective iron golems again

This one is WIP, so you can see some parts of model lookin weird

[rancid seal]

@tribal trail It is not transprent anymore, but it has reflection

Even if it isn't that good

[tribal trail]

that looks really cursed ngl

[rancid seal]

I agree, but it is better then having transparen iron golems as you say, isn't it?

[tribal trail]

the best is having full entity pbr

[rancid seal]

Fr, but I hink the thing I am currently doing is going to look better when it's ready

Can't do anything with stripess

[languid mirage]

Wym?

[tribal trail]

i think with better local light config it could look better

[rancid seal]

Progress

[gaunt hatch]

Thank you.

[rancid seal]

More reflection, more

[safe urchin]

hardware ray tracing on minecraft java, radiance mod

[languid mirage]

Wym better local lighting config? lol.

All local_lighting.json is exactly the same. There is no “better”…

Even colour scheme is personal preference.

Either Vanilla or something custom.

[rancid seal]

Almost ready

[tribal trail]

what the banana

[sonic canopy]

That's so cool. I'm guessing it relies on refraction to bend the light in the right direction. Are you animating these elements based on rotation to camera or are they passive?

Also fun fact, you are basically rediscovering microfacets. It is the idea that all materials can be rendered by simulating tiny microscopic mirrors or diffuse reflectors that are oriented in different directions. This idea is mainly used to physically explain material roughness, but it can also be used for normal mapping and anisotropic roughness (e.g. brushed metal)

[rancid seal]

No, animating those elements is going to be a disaster for my pc.

[earnest sierra]

Tht looks really interesting

[rancid seal]

Interesting, but this thing has a lot of issues

[earnest sierra]

Hey it still looks cool in a way imo

[rancid seal]

And I still need to keep fixing iron golem because some parts of its body are flickering

And I will have to do the same thing with copper golems

[rancid seal]

Bananas aren't in minecraft yet

I get so much fun working with RTX

[quick nymph]

That's good 👍

[quick nymph]

ugh, white border. I hate that thing

Nice screenshot though

[scarlet gust]

It's one of the side-effects of using the vibecoded slop called Game Bar

[scarlet gust]

That genuinely looks fire

[rancid seal]

@scarlet gust what the heck are you doing?

[quick nymph]

Just use windows screen capture at this point

[thorn bison]

ty

[thorn bison]

same. but at this point it's muscle memory to press the gamebar screenshot button

[quick nymph]

Wtb f2 or prtscr?

[thorn bison]

win+alt+prtscr

[rancid seal]

Im gonna keep working with entity reflections in rtx today I think

[rancid seal]

Your profile is similar to mine at some point, wth

[quick nymph]

Just prtscr, you done need win alt

[thorn bison]

nope, that doesn't work for me

[tropic rampart]

as someone who has no idea how reflections work
would it be possible for mojang to make it so, instead of SSR which doesn't reflect things you can't see on your screen, reflections of things up close (like, within 8-16 blocks) are rendered in some other way that works better?

as for things far off, SSR works fine

[rancid seal]

F2 makes a screenshot in-game, I prefer pressing prt. scr as It is more comfortable and you can just press Ctrl+V to do that

[tropic rampart]

but close up it means you can't even see yourself in the reflection

[quick nymph]

Same the game ss system sucks

[tropic rampart]

idk who's the most reflective person here who would know about this stuff

[thorn bison]

probably quirkyplauge

[rancid seal]

Im entity-reflective in rtx there lol

[tropic rampart]

rtx i think has like, proper reflections at least.

idk i just don't like how current reflections look up close

i get that, for far off stuff, SSR is probably better for performance so while its lacking, it works well enough.

but up close it really doesn't :<

[rancid seal]

Yep, I like block reflections in RTX. I also like entity reflections in rtx, but they may look weird at some point.

[rancid seal]

Did you saw what I've done with iron golems yesterday by the way? At least this "is somehow connected to the topic" I think

[tropic rampart]

yeah you cleaned them

put them in the washing machine

now they shiny

[rancid seal]

Im glad they are

[tropic rampart]

but like yeah, SSR looks good enough from a distance like here

but up close i need to look at myself at a weird angle in third person to even appear in it

[rancid seal]

Vv is being vv ig

[quick nymph]

Same the game ss system sucks

[tropic rampart]

yeah.
i'm just curious if there's any way mojang could change this to work better up close without completely destroying the performance

[rancid seal]

There is no player's body in first person, so light goes through you, and no reflection is going to appear

[tropic rampart]

even in third person though you still need the weird angle

[rancid seal]

I have similar result with iron golems in my rtx rp

[tropic rampart]

aw

[rancid seal]

Reflections only appear when you look in a specific angle

I have an idea how I can fix that, but I didn't do that yet

Doing entity PBR without entity PBR

[tropic rampart]

sadely this means proper mirrors can't be done :<

[rancid seal]

Rtx and vv keeps acting the same in first person mode

[tropic rampart]

rtx is secretly just a vv RP confirmed

mojang tricked us all

[rancid seal]

Naw, because no entity PBR, refraction is not in vv, etc.

Funny joke tho... mb.

[tropic rampart]

i do wonder what other stuff they have planned for VV.

we know refraction is planned, point lights are in development, and presumably all that funny colored lighting stuff will come to vanilla VV at some point.

but besides that, like

what do they want to do with vanilla VV, and what creator features will come in the more far off future

[rancid seal]

Im too RTX-y to use vv lol

[tropic rampart]

right now there's very little like, water customization right? (beyond waves)

would be neat if they let us make water look like in Dungeons. overall letting VV customization go far enough to allow us to make the game look like Dungeons or Legends could be nice.

[tribal trail]

So you just want world space reflections instead of screen space reflections

[tropic rampart]

idk what that means but it sounds good :glade:

[tribal trail]

It’s a problem for most games

[tropic rampart]

yeah :<

[tribal trail]

I pray for ssao

And anti aliasing

And rain customization

But most important for me is ssao from these 3

It would make whole vv look so much better

People wouldn’t be able to tell if they play Minecraft or real life

[thorn bison]

after all apart from the graphics nothing separates minecraft from real life

[tropic rampart]

that is true.

we even have jack black irl

[thorn bison]

is it just me or do you not have much control over ss in mer maps?

[tribal trail]

You do have very good control over sss

[thorn bison]

weird, bc whenever i use sss it always feels like my mer maps have no effect

[blazing whale]

[wind pollen]

You mean the profile avatar? Yes

[rancid seal]

Nickname, username, avatar effect

[wind pollen]

Oh i didn't notice those
I thought it'd be fancy
Never thought you'd have similar thing

@rancid seal But theres a small different tho
You have pronouns while i don't
Your username starts with a "." But mine doesn't

Also you use two "_" while i use only one

[rancid seal]

I said similar tho, not the same

[white willow]

Ok so. There are some methods to kinda do this cheaply

Basically what some Java packs do is rely on SSR for the first hit. Store as much of that SSR hit data as possible to a cubemap, and then fallback to that cubemap when SSR fails (or offscreen)

Another method is just straight up using world space raytracing as fallback but that's not feasible at all especially when mobile exists

I'm writing this assuming all platforms are required to have the same features regardless of quality level

[white willow]

They aren't "proper", just not bound by screen information. SSR is as proper as raytracing them. Well if we wanna get technical, SSR is raytracing just only for screen information.

[white willow]

SSS depends on many factors. SSS is also influenced by skylight. So turning down skylight would = more sunlight SSS

Like here I'm using really low skylight and fairly high sunlight and SSS is stupid bright

I should add more contrast to my Tallgrass sss

[tropic rampart]

hm curious

[tropic rampart]

yeah thats the biggest issue here

[white willow]

I don't dislike SSR personally, I get it has limits but there's a reason it's popular

It's stupidly cheap

[tropic rampart]

It works well enough from far away

just not as well when up close and you for some reason can't see yourself, or the back of nearby blocks in the reflection

[white willow]

I'm gonna be real, SSR is much better for close range

It falls apart with distance

Mojangs gets away with it cuz it uses a Hi-Z buffer which lets you get away with crazy sample counts

But traditional SSR sucks at long range

[tropic rampart]

mayb, but i feel like in minecraft it works better long range.

[white willow]

I'm talking from an mc perspective

My personal SSR implementation just falls to pieces at range

[tropic rampart]

hm

[white willow]

I think if it just looked better this would be less of an issue

But regardless seeing yourself is not a common thing in any game

The only thing I can think of that mojang could do is use planar projected reflections for blocks that are specifically rendering as a mirror (max metalness no roughness)

[tropic rampart]

from far off like this, in VV, i think it looks good.

[tropic rampart]

yeah but that doesn't make it not feel just odd imo.

i was just curious if there was any way that this, and other stuff up close that doesn't get reflected, could be reflected.

[white willow]

Player models being reflected isn't really something that started popping up in games until raytracing started to evolve

And the games that did, used camera tricks on specific map locations

Player rendering in first person in reflections isn't feasible unless you go all at it with raytracing

Or use planar reflections which are not viable outside of small mirrors

[quick nymph]

Why not?

[tropic rampart]

unfortunate

[white willow]

You can't reflect something you can't see so you gotta rely on more expensive methods to do so

Aka raytracing

[quick nymph]

What if you added a second camera that trails the player then when you encounter a reflective surface use the information from that image to reflect the player?

But don't render it

[white willow]

I smell server and desync problems

[tropic rampart]

ok but thats standard for bedrock

if not for desync issues, why have bedrock at all?

[white willow]

That camera though would still rely on SSR which would still not get around the strangeness of using SSR

You could maybe directly project that cameras view to reflection but you also have to make sure the camera is always angled right etc

Stuff like the camera works best on static scenes that only can be viewed from one angle

Like a mirror in a bathroom

[tropic rampart]

in this case, couldn't it just be like the front facing third person one

[white willow]

I feel like there's possibly a reason a method like this hasn't been used it games

It just sounds unreliable to me

[tropic rampart]

maybe? idk.

like, most games aren't minecraft

[white willow]

Especially games like mc

What do you do if the camera clips into the floor

How do you account for that

[tropic rampart]

hmm...
assuming there's no option of like, just doing what Minecraft does already with third person cameras and not having that happen, i assume if it isn't set too far away from the player you could not render blocks that it's clipped into or that are between it and the player?

[white willow]

Sure you could write up a masking function to exclude everything but the player

[quick nymph]

I reckon, it would be possible but it wouldn't look all too great and maintainability would be worse

[white willow]

What is this supposed to mean though? I mean sure it would be cool to see mc come up with some cool never before seen first person reflection thing that's performant for realtime and works for mobile but if it hasn't been done, there's reasons

[tropic rampart]

Most games have generally static environments and less need for stuff Minecraft might need due to not being able to use the same techniques as games with fully static levels.

If a game with a fully static environment really needs a reflection with the player, it can still probably do that easier.

and then small dynamic reflective objects don't matter as much

also, minecraft has the funny pixely reflections. idk if that'd make anything easier? could they render them at lower resolutions as a result?

i assume it'd be easier to reflect something in a lower res, pixelated reflection than it would to reflect it at the same resolution as the rest of the game.

this is the average videogame.

as you can see, the unidentified player character is able to be fully reflected (because i think the game just has a copy of the room, and the player character on the other side of the mirror). This approach can work in most games like this average videogame as long as it's confined to a limited size space and the mirror object is static. This approach obviously can't work in Minecraft.

[white willow]

That's a REALLY old technique that games don't do anymore

But N64 had to because it couldn't actually compute reflections

Most games now either raytrace it, or project a secondary camera onto an object

Or use a probe

[tropic rampart]

well yeah. Just using it as an example of the average videogame with a fully static environment.

[white willow]

It's even less feasible to get first person reflections in mc because the entire game is dynamic

Their options are limited to basically none

[tropic rampart]

this is why i'm saying that like, most games wouldn't need a unique approach to reflections

[white willow]

Outside of using planar reflections on mirrors only (because always using planar is way to expensive) or raytracing

[tropic rampart]

Minecraft does because the entire game is dynamic

[tribal trail]

aren't planar reflections more demanding than ray traced reflections?

[white willow]

SSR is the best approach they can use that's cheap and efficient and can react to MCs world efficiently

[white willow]

Depends. In small amounts no. Why I said only mirrors

[tropic rampart]

yeah. And it works great in most cases.
Just wish there was something the game could do for the few things that SSR can't do such as player reflection or the back of things up close.

[white willow]

The benefit of planar here is that it'll work on mobile. Plus just render it at like half or even quarter res and you're fine

[tropic rampart]

how big would the reflection resolution have to even be?

[white willow]

If mobile wasn't a concern, I'd say hell yes to raytracing

[tropic rampart]

i mean, it can't be bigger than 16x16 per block in vanilla VV, right?

[white willow]

It's just your screen res. So half of that

[tropic rampart]

now, you may have many a block

[white willow]

I mean VVs reflections aren't rendered at 16x16 res

[tribal trail]

that wouldn't fix player reflections but 360 ssr would be a great option

idk how well it would work on mobile

[white willow]

They are rendered at half res, then basically mipped further because of HI-Z then upscaled based on upscaling resolution percent

Then they snap the output of the reflections to a pixel grid

[tropic rampart]

curious

[white willow]

Same with shadows, shadows are still 2048 res but snapped to a pixel grid

[white willow]

360 SSR is unique. I've only seen one Java shader do it and it was an edit of sildurs

But I don't believe that shader has player reflections in first person either

[tribal trail]

yeah only that one shader did it

but ir worked great

[tribal trail]

thats why i said "that wouldn't fix player reflections"

[white willow]

Kappa, nostalgia and now alpha piscium do the "reflection capture method"

[white willow]

Ohhh I thought you were talking about my planar idea

[white willow]

Which I described earlier as basically saving a snapshot of the SSR as a cubemap and using that as fallback, but it doesn't work on small things or dynamic objects so doesn't solve the player reflection either

[tribal trail]

the worst way to do reflections imo

[white willow]

I mean it's a cheap way to get pseudo world space visuals

[tribal trail]

but it looks bad many times

[white willow]

Alpha Pisciums implementation from what I've seen is much better than kappa and nostalgias

But I don't think AP has block reflections atm

Only water

So it could crumble on block reflections. Looked good on water though

If mojang upgrades SSR at all I want rough reflections

Please mojang

[tribal trail]

i want ssao and refraction

thats all I'm asking

[languid mirage]

IMO, and from what I’ve seen - Kappa is so much better.

I haven’t tried Kappa.

But I’ve used Alpha pisscium.

Alpha is terrible for gameplay.

[white willow]

in what way is it bad for gamepaly

i havent used AP that much outside of just some testing

but also i dont think its being designed with gameplay in mind

[languid mirage]

I’d have to screenshot.

But it’s Ray tracing is just absolutely abysmal unless you sit still for like 10-30 seconds

[white willow]

it feels like a giant ssrt proof of concept

[white willow]

i didnt have that experience

[languid mirage]

I’ll load it up again rn

Maybe it was a 1 time bug.

But it’s was unplayable.

You could see Ray hits on blocks etc but there were tons of off colours etc

[white willow]

i mean its entirely screenspace rt

so things are gonna be jank

but im testing rn and it seems fine

[languid mirage]

Shrimple full RT profile worked like Bedrock RTX for me.

Almost no artifacts - SUPER clean lighting

Loading Java rn.

[white willow]

i mean the pack is very much unfinished and is a giant tech demo of screenspace restir gi

something not really done before

but i really dont see anything too out of the ordinary here

not really seeing anything bedrock rtx doesnt have problems with if not worse issues there

i mean even on a direct shader reload its very fast and responsive

[languid mirage]

Yeah, must have been a 1-off issue.

It’s running fine rn on insane preset

Solid 47 FPS

I do notice player shadow has some artifacts

But that’s it

if you zoom in on Player shadow in second pic - you can notice some darkening around it on the grass.

that huge area flickers black with the shadow.

Dont use alpha piscium in the nether.... Got it!

this shader is actually really good though tbh. really nice ssrt

underwater ss looks like shit tho lmfao

[rancid seal]

I want sss, entity pbr, item pbr, pbr bug fix, flickering chunks bug fix, fixed end portals, end flashes, particles being a part of ray tracer, customizable point lights, spot lights feature, cloud customization, default rtx cloud fix, nicknames not displaying bug fix, no loaded chunks limit, paralax water

That's all I want

-# And maybe ability to attach point lights to attachables, other items and entities

[rancid seal]

Eww I don't want it

Why the heck player arm doesn't drop shadow in RTX

It was the key of making player shadows

I just freaking hope this is the material issue

This isn't material issue :((

Light goes trough body parts

Render dragon makes this stuff not drop shadow

Body disappears in first person when I use blend material btw

[sonic canopy]

There is code in rtx that intentionally ignores first person geometry in shadows and reflections

[quick beacon]

Why?

[rancid seal]

i got it, but I don't see a point

[sonic canopy]

So that you wouldn't see a floating arm, lol

[rancid seal]

It looks like this thing is only fixable with add-ons if I don't use brtx

[rancid seal]

:((

[sonic canopy]

It might also be fixable via internal clien side camera files, but you can't use those in custom resource packs, you have to directly modify vanilla resource pack

[rancid seal]

Then what the heck is this

[sonic canopy]

An oversight ig lol

[rancid seal]

Yep, because map isn't an attachable

[rancid seal]

Limited bedrock resource pack/addon API + RTX issues moment

[rancid seal]

This thing also disables entity materials in first person btw

im usong luminous dreams but didnt like their caustics and tried using one from a dif pack and now this is happening

[white willow]

all you need to do is use the same texture name in the same folder

then it should just work

but also not all textures behave the same

so you might have to tweak caustics parameters too

@rancid seal

rtx bug fix

[long ruin]

Finally

[rancid seal]

I somehow didn't get pinged

But hell yeaah

[rancid seal]

By the way, as I see, entity no lnger become reflective when PBR bug is fixed. Uhhh, maayybee,, just maaaaaybeee, entity pbr existsss

[sonic canopy]

Maybe

Worth a shot

But there were no changes to RTX shader code, so if entity PBR does work, only unform PBR values will be supported, but not PBR texturees

[rancid seal]

I think the only changes to RTX shader code that might be comming soon are if mojang decides to fix rtx clouds i think

I do belive entity pbr exists tho

[sonic canopy]

Yeah it kinda does, sometimes the game breaks in a way that enables uniform PBR values for entities and full PBR for block items

[rancid seal]

Even PBR values are something we need in RTX ngl

[sonic canopy]

This is an example of that time it "broke" for me and enabled block item PBR

So this stuff could work, Mojang just needs to stop intentionally disabling it for RTX

[rancid seal]

Woah, Im kinda sad this is aa bug

[rancid seal]

It looks like it is not the bug lol. It looks like no block item PBR is a bug, not a feaature

Mojang has bilitities to do a lot of stuff with RTX without changing shader code

[quick nymph]

That's awesome! Do you have a development server or smth?

[sonic canopy]

(I have nothing to do with that video btw, it was recorded by somebody else)

[sonic canopy]

Do you mean my personal discord server?

[rancid seal]

I have to ask something - how this stuff got broken like that? Pbr is loaded, uhh

[sonic canopy]

Btw, we (the community) can also implement block item PBR, by changing shader code. For example, I added block item PBR into my RTX renderer shaderpack

[sonic canopy]

I was just rejoining the world a bunch of times, about 10-15 was enough to trigger it

[rancid seal]

Lemme try

[rancid seal]

Were you able to see block item pbr in first person mode (in your hand)?

[sonic canopy]

Yes, it will work in first person and for dropped items

[rancid seal]

Looks like 10-15 isn't enough for me lol

[sonic canopy]

It might have been fixed already, it was a long time ago

[rancid seal]

Mojng hve 0 reasons to fix that

imo of course

[sonic canopy]

It kinda breaks entity rendering

[white willow]

Insane that this bug existed since the dawn of time and they finally fixed it

[rancid seal]

The same thing with screenshots bug

I still wait for marketplace/servers PBR bug fix

[rancid seal]

So, do it

[quick beacon]

Sure. Will send the proof here later today

[languid mirage]

“Removed point lights visually fading out once past a certain distance from the camera”

👀

[pale urchin]

What's the point light slider for at this point 😂

[white willow]

i think itll control how many are allowed on screen now

thats my guess anyway

cuz im guessing performance on them is good enough now with the new importance sampling that range isnt necessary

[rancid seal]

Its 23:14 for me rn, will you do this before the end of the day in my time zone?

[quick nymph]

Yeah for like development progress like quirky plague's

[sonic canopy]

No, I usually just post this stuff on ShaderLabs, here and sometimes in RTX discord

[quick nymph]

Oh, okay

I'll see whether I can replicate that issue or not

[tribal trail]

What why

[wise hinge]

The orbital offset degree is broken in the latest preview build, anyone having this issue?

[blazing whale]

Rollback to 0 now?

[wise hinge]
