where does one save the cubemap edits in vv too? Ive no idea what the file path is
I know where the 6 sided cubemap pngs are, but no idea where to put the vv json

[limpid sequoia]

what do u mean?

[fossil otter]

you know how you have atmospherics, water, lighting, etc? Where do cubemap jsons go?

[wise hinge]

cubemaps folder.

Ya, i hate oversharpening.

[severe grove]

Yo can i ask something?

[half nacelle]

Good

[severe grove]

What is Global illumination?

[half nacelle]

Very good ngl, which resolution?

[half nacelle]

It is the standard illumination that the sun emits onto objects and that objects emit.

In ray tracing, for example, light rays hitting an object are typically reflected, creating this global illumination.

[severe grove]

Oh, i look it look like ray tracing

[half nacelle]

And there's also the illumination itself that the sun emits, in addition to the light rays as global illumination.

And also the lighting of the blocks themselves, but that's ambient light itself so it wouldn't count for much.

If you want to know how the lighting in Vibrant Visuals works, for example, there's this Wiki, which talks generally about Vibrant Visuals:

[half nacelle]

I'm so far and so close to the DOF working gys😭🙏
Every time the blocks are supposed to blur and the focused block is supposed to focus, the code simply doesn't work; it always gives an "unexpected data version" error, no matter how much I change the JSON versions
I'm stuck searching for the perfect balance☠️🙏

[half nacelle]

Yes, I discovered thanks to this experience that it was either my Fog codes themselves that were faulty or the biomes clients that were faulty ☠️

Skill issue ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Btw i don't going to fix it now; just from testing this several times and fixing bugs, my phone is already at 17%.

If RTX accepted BP, it would be fine.

But apparently it's not accepted, is it?

Need DOF in Bedrock itself btw☠️

I miss DOF in Bedrock😔

This definitely gives shaders a huge soul; whether you like it or not, a camera without blur, focus, and without any charm for shaders is sad
Btw, when I finish this code it will be the basis for creating motion blur and much more following the same logic, including even an iris in Bedrock (yh, if I have the patience, I'll create something like that in Bedrock).

[half nacelle]

Interesting fact: using the same logic, it's possible to try creating path tracing via particles, emitting rays from the position of the sun/moon and creating particles of light and shadows. Otherwise, it would just be a matter of refining the code itself.

[half nacelle]

It's not the same logic as Path Tracing or anything, but it works like or similarly to Path Tracing, so I'd say that, or some other name if one exists.

[half nacelle]

And yes, it would also be possible to make the rays reflect when they hit the object; it would simply be "if the ray hits an object, create a ray from the object's position to the opposite side" and the rest would just be refinement. Or something like that. You could also set a limit on the number of rays, or let them go infinite until there's nowhere left to bounce, and even how many rays are released; it all depends on the raycasting capabilities.

[half nacelle]

And states, and many overlays and particles, and whatever, u understand.

[pale urchin]

How are doing DOF?

[rancid seal]

Why not?

[half nacelle]

The code is fine, the problem is in the interconnection, mainly the versioning. I'm trying to find the correct version for all the JSONs (and I'm using a script to change them all at once so I don't suffer for a day).

@pale urchin Do you know how to solve this? I'm trying to change the version of all the JSON files and I'm getting the same error. Molang is at 1.21.40, the custom blocks are at 1.20.10, and the BP is at 1.20.10.

[half nacelle]

I didn't know that Bedrock's RTX Shader supported BP.

[rancid seal]

Why not?

I don't get it

[half nacelle]

Bcs they don't even have Sky Color in this type of shader.

[rancid seal]

Because sky is a texture, that's why

[half nacelle]

And you can't create a sky using textures in BP + RP?

[rancid seal]

You can't change this texture

[half nacelle]

But you can overlap.

[languid mirage]

ew, hater

white water bug needs to get fixed already

[languid mirage]

Some screenshots of a players builds I had the pleasure of checking out.

Everything was 100% survival (I was earning achievements while I toured around)

[tropic rampart]

as do series S reflections
:<

[languid mirage]

tbh console reflections in general are pretty terrible.

they dont affect performance in any noticeable way from off-Ultra.

so why dont we have PC reflection config

picture of the custom Ocean monument barely has reflections - on console it would literally have nothing

possibly my favorite RTX ss

[tropic rampart]

yeah i don't get it.

If it's a performance concern like

it's fine just let us do it anyway

consoles are held back so much on bedrock.

you're able to set your settings way higher on a 10 year old PC than a current gen console, and it runs perfectly fine.

either bedrock optimization on consoles is just terrible, or it's being held back way too much.

[languid mirage]

nah but fr.

the guy that did those builds - Runs a potato with rx580 i belive he said. yet he runs Ultra settings with VV

[tropic rampart]

yeah i'm on an rx570

so yeah, no reason for why my PC runs bedrock so much better than my current gen xbox. The recommended RD on PC is higher than the max on console.

reflections on PC are great and they suck on XSS

[languid mirage]

and what FPS do you get, say 75 Res, Bilinear and All Ultra settings ?

[tropic rampart]

the only thing xbox does better is point lights, and that's only because they recently arbitrarily limited how many can show at once to apparently be based on your hardware rather than listening to what you set in your settings.

[tropic rampart]

hold on i'll check

[tropic rampart]

solid 30

which, okay that isn't as good as 60
but that's with everything maxed out at 75% resolution

and 30 is what many games run at even on current gen

[languid mirage]

what was render dist? nvm, looks like 20-24. same as console

and even still, the performance doesnt scale properly.

S|X holds 60 at 50 Res with everything maxed. and hits 30 when looking at water.

on top of this - It also runs reduced configs compared to PC.

[languid mirage]

Oh, what CPU aswell ?

[tropic rampart]

28 chunks, i set everything to max besides resolution

if i set everything to high instead of ultra, and lower my RD a bit, i get 60fps

[languid mirage]

the Series X pc equivalents - are a RX 6700Xt or 2070 Super.

and a underclocked ryzen 7 3700x....

How the fuck does it make ANY sense - the performance of the Series X or even S.

[tropic rampart]

exactly.

Even the series S should NOT be weaker than my PC

I can do 76 chunk RD on my PC in fancy. Why does console max out at 36?

sure, 76 lags a little

[languid mirage]

mine maxes at 90 last I checked lol

[tropic rampart]

not much but yeah its a bit below a solid 60 (probably can do solid 30 though)

yeah, depends on the hardware

[languid mirage]

I have a weaker CPU. but stronger GPU

r5 3600 at 4Ghz and 3070TI.

But even then - series X shouldnt have 1/3 of my max render

[tropic rampart]

exactly.

sure, at max RD, the game doesn't run too well

actually doesn't even seem to hit solid 30 for me

but even then it isn't unplayably bad

and you'd usually use max RD for screenshots, or for looking for structures/biomes around you

rather than for regular gameplay

so, having frame drops is completely fine for it

[languid mirage]

I get a solid 16 FPS at 1440, 96 chunks

[tropic rampart]

which like, not ideal sure
but if you just want to take a screenshot, it's fine.

or if you want to see what biomes are around within a 1500 block radius of you

[tropic rampart]

certainly also would help keep world file size down since chunks are only saved if you edit them or spend longer in them. And since consoles limit your total file size for worlds, that's pretty important.

[languid mirage]

all things considered - Console performance makes absolutely 0 sense.

we could have PC vv configs for most stuff. we could easily have 48 chunk render. and We could do EVEN MORE if the game wasn't forced to render at fucking 4K!!!!!!!!!!!

i think thats probably one of the biggest factors relating to poor console perf. forced 4k render

[tribal trail]

what the

[languid mirage]

what? lmao.

& original wasnt fully loaded.

this is FULL 96 chunk all rendered

[tribal trail]

Why 16 fps

[languid mirage]

tbh idk. maybe its the 3070 - maybe its something to do with CPU.

more likely GPU tho since if i look at the sky, or ground I hit 60/80

nvm - 120/80 lmao

looking straight, Up and Down.

[languid mirage]

what do you get at 96 chunks ?

[tropic rampart]

yeah.

i don't get how they still haven't thought "hm, should we add a resolution setting for current gen consoles"

I'd much rather have a higher render distance and better VV settings than 4k on a console that doesn't even actually display 4k

[languid mirage]

we have a resolution slider.

but it downscales the image.

what fucking use is that? LMFAO yeah - lemme play with 4k perf but the visuals of 720 or 1080p like tf 😂

[tropic rampart]

yeah but even then, it's percentages.

a resolution render % slider (with it upscaling to target) is fine, if we can also select target resolution

but we can't do that

[tropic rampart]

also it's not even proper 720 or 1080p because some stuff at lower resolution % still renders worse.

vs if you just natively have a lower resolution

a native 1080p looks better than 4k at a lower % that's still theoretically higher than 1080p

[languid mirage]

percentage display isnt an issue tbh.

But yeah - it should be an upscale slider. not downscaling.

default render - 1080p. then allow render scale to upscale to max 4k.

[tropic rampart]

maybe? idk.

i just think we need both settings.

"target resolution" and "render resolution"

target resolution being 720p/1080p/4k

and render resolution being current slider

if i want to run the game at 720p, let me

let me run it at less if i want to even.

[languid mirage]

on console actual render resolution should be determined by console display resolution.

i think most games already do that

[languid mirage]

could be wrong tho

[tropic rampart]

default sure but imo we should still get to lower it if we want to

[languid mirage]

you could, by lowering your console display res and reloading the game.

series X allows you to go down to I think 480 depending on display

then upscale slider for example with Bilinear - would make the image fit your full screen

I really dont know why this isn't a thing already

[half nacelle]

It depends on the console, since the Nintendo Switch, for example, has a processor that's 5 years old, but for the PS5 and Xbox it makes sense.

[half nacelle]

Do you have an anti-aliasing option? WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THAT ON OUR CELL PHONES?😭🙏

[half nacelle]

And what was that supposed to do? ☠️🙏

If you want to reduce the aspect ratio, reduce it on your computer or use Lossless Scaling.

[half nacelle]

And the phones along with the Nintendo Switch die because of this ☠️🙏

[fossil otter]

so why do basic vv mer files in vanilla pack only use roughness and not say, metalness or normal maps, They just do bare minimum or?

also, should one use metalness and roughness in metallic blocks? Pain in the rear trying to make it look right with both on.

[half nacelle]

Just use pbr.json, or insert values instead of using textures.

☠️🙏

[fossil otter]

im so new to this, im gunn have to research how to do what you just said 😅 thanks for the tip! Ill try that out

im basically using blockbench for this stuff

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[scarlet gust]

My render distance maxes out at 96 chunks for Simple graphics, 96 chunks for Fancy graphics, 28 chunks for Vibrant Visuals, and 24 chunks for RTX. I average 120 FPS with Vibrant Visuals at 8 chunks and 150 FPS with RTX at 8 chunks, so I have no idea why Vibrant Visuals allows for higher render distances despite looking worse and being less optimized.

[scarlet gust]

An AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is not a good combination.

[languid mirage]

im talking about console. Dont jump into convos you dont understand?

[languid mirage]

okay? cool.

[languid mirage]

never said it was. Maybe, like the other person - dont jump into convos you dont understand

(even still, its not a bad combination)

I can run ANY modern game at 60FPS + with max graphics. CPU being the only thing holding me back from 100+ in any game....

[limpid sequoia]

[scarlet gust]

A weak CPU and a powerful GPU is not a good combination.

[languid mirage]

how many times do I need to say the same thing?

Where did I say "it is a good combination"

I can run any game at more than decent frame rates.

that's all that matters.

and AGAIN - The topic wasnt "how good is your cpu/gpu combo"

[rancid seal]

Why the sky is yellow

[limpid sequoia]

you're fooled

that's fog

[rancid seal]

This pink sky is also a fog

[rancid seal]

So why it makes sky yellow 😭

[limpid sequoia]

i don't see that's pink

[limpid sequoia]

that's not sky

it completely hidden

[rancid seal]

Okay, the sky is not yellow, but why it looks yellow

[rancid seal]

Idk what colour is this

[limpid sequoia]

because there are mountain

and it was hidden by the fogs

[limpid sequoia]

i had no idea

[rancid seal]

Okay, but it's still hard to imagine for me 😭

[limpid sequoia]

only me can do that

[rancid seal]

Yeah, because I can't imagine that big mountain that covers all the screenshot lmao

[limpid sequoia]

i used lowest FOV

and some trick to take that screenshot

Huh, I would not have expected polished granite to have a surface like that. Rather, I expected it to have some upper clamping, so that the majority of the surface is uniformly flat, save for a couple of pits that are sporadically placed.

[willow needle]

Well, I actually wanted to make it like that, because this is realistic vanilla, so I wanted to make it a little different from full realistic 😁

Oh dope. I wonder if the actual talk itself will come out too

Regardless there's some really cool stuff here

[white willow]

The custom shader pipeline is quite cool. DragonFX is neat. It kinda reminds me of Unitys thingy that I can't remember the name of

Shaderlab that's what it is

Also the shadow/reflection quantization code is cool stuff to see

Might try implementing it for fun when I have time

[limpid sequoia]

i wonder how is it difficult?

because this is the first time i had heard about that

[wise hinge]

[limpid sequoia]

that's real

i'm not lying

[white willow]

First time any of us are hearing about it

But my wording was bad

It's not a custom pipeline for us

It's more so a custom shading language

I misspoke before

Custom shading language based on GLSL not shader pipeline

[limpid sequoia]

i see

[white willow]

Now it would be cool to see some kind of api or something that lets us modify this stuff or mess with it

For example a way to make custom files using DragonFX and create custom shader programs. Something like the scripting engine but for shaders. Would be cool

[half nacelle]

I agree, it has a very interesting color reproduction for a cinematic aspect, for example. Its only problem was saturation, but I managed to correct it with color mapping and several other tricks in Hable

It looks like true color grading.

use 0.015 also better:)

at least my 0.09 isnt that bad

[dense elm]

Thats like

Way about the recommended value

[white willow]

i still question what catgamer is yelling about with "oil water" VV aint got no oil water 💀

[half nacelle]

This is the minimum; the normal range is 0.90+. I'm adjusting it now to 0.60-0.75.

And it's generally for "milky" climates, like cherry biomes.

[white willow]

thats ALOT of fog lol

[dense elm]

True

[white willow]

althought i cant talk cuz my java shader has been crazy with fog until recently

[sonic canopy]

I think they're referring to the appearance of sky reflections on water, when sky intensity is very low #1182091012177399809 message

[half nacelle]

I NEED godrays

[dense elm]

You wouldn't even need to crank up the bloom intensity to get blinded then

[white willow]

possibly, but that would be a fault of the pack and not VV

[sonic canopy]

Yes for sure

[white willow]

but you can get them without making the game unplayable

[half nacelle]

I think it's playable 0.45

[sonic canopy]

Also, now that we can keyframe it, there is really no excuse for not fixing it in the VV pack

[half nacelle]

Like, it's not bad in the Cherry biome for example.

[white willow]

afaik that image he keeps sharing btw was on full low settings on mobile on a pack that wasnt fully finsihed

like the creator of it was still figuring out vv stuff

[dense elm]

Okay...

But what about other biomes?

[half nacelle]

It's at 0.5 for example.

[half nacelle]

I'll adjust it further, like the forest one.

I'll adjust it between 0.45 and 0.75, I'll test 0.75 to 0.69 in the forest biomes now, and I also changed the fog color in them, as it was covering up the sky color.

Not that Cherry's doesn't already do almost that, but you get the point.

[dense elm]

Hm

[white willow]

idk i get the same godray crispness with 3x less fog

[half nacelle]

But the climate is completely different.

It's more "artistic" here if you look closely btw

[white willow]

its your pack youre free to do whatever you want lol. just giving out suggestions.

[limpid sequoia]

[limpid sequoia]

i used to mix colour with scattering and absorption uses the same value;)

0.2 of course

[white willow]

ive found that scattering doesnt really change color much at all

it does in rtx

[limpid sequoia]

yes! that it is

nahhh my fog in rtx is gonna hell

[white willow]

rtx fog is VERY sensitive

like small values are a must

now one thing that would be neat

and i think vv used to have it

is an tuneable ambient value for vl fog

im gonna use my own shader here for referencing this

[limpid sequoia]

🥲

nahhh

[white willow]

direct scattering only vs direct scattering + ambient

[limpid sequoia]

oh my goodness

[half nacelle]

This is definitely not Fog now gys ☠️
Fog's value is lower than Cherry's and it's radioactive gys ☠️🙏

[limpid sequoia]

[white willow]

direct scattering only vs direct scattering + ambient

im still working on a good tuning for my ambient value

but it adds alot

same order, its a bit less noticeable here but it helps add some atmosphere back into the colors

i also should check if im doing scattering integral correctly

[limpid sequoia]

those are crazy good

[white willow]

ok my scattering integral is correct

[half nacelle]

Now I prefer without ambient

[white willow]

im still working on how i want to integrate the ambient factor

and how strong it should be

im just kinda showing the whole like, it helps thing

without it the fog feels very flat (in my implementation)

[sonic canopy]

Btw, if you are open to ideas for potential improvements, you could add something to make shading more directional, which should help in cases like on this screenshot. Maybe just the vanilla directional shading for ambient sky light, or you could do something fancier with making diffuse brighter and more yellowish when pointed towards the sun. Could also use spherical harmonics for that, I imagine that you can bake the SH coefficients for each time of day into a texture and that'd give you a physcially based ambient light that accurately represents the light from atmosphere

[white willow]

i currently am only doing default mc skylighting

but i want to do some kind of SH in the future

i just dont know anything about it

i do some kind of directional lighting with my voxel floodlighting. i might try and take some ideas from the mojang paper because im legit having the problems they described with rgb propagation lmao

but im still very new to that whole thing

i might look into how unity computes SH and base it off that

afaik they do SH9?

i wonder. i could probably push the skylight a bit towards the normal, similarly to how i do the voxel lighting

which might give it some directionality

hm but the lightmap doesnt exactly provide a position

mm yes

SH just seems like the correct answer

[sonic canopy]

Are you using this method for the floodfill propagation? https://www.shadertoy.com/view/NtcSD2

[white willow]

No

Didn't know that was a thing

[sonic canopy]

You could give it a shot, it seems to not have as much issues with rgb propagation artefacts

[white willow]

Probably will give it a go. What I'm doing right now is like bare minimum

[graceful iron]

Don’t say the magic word

[white willow]

ive got something working. it takes some ideas of SH where it samples multiple directions around the normal

it still uses the lightmap for attenuation tho

but it has directionality and uses my actual sky for coloring rather than hardcoded values

remake of that shot from earlier

[sonic canopy]

Woah nice, that did help a lot with that issue it seems

Does it look any better during sunrise or sunset? Like do you get more vibrant ambient diffuse?

[white willow]

this here is time 0

let me do 23500 which is like early early sunrise

im still working on general intensities

23500, 1000, 6000, 12300

i desaturate it a bit tho cuz the colors without that were SUPER saturated

default saturation, and the -25% skylight saturation

might only do a -15% still figuring it out

i like the new skylight though because it actually samples my sky so it gives a better representation of how the skylight should look

[sonic canopy]

Do you include fog when sampling the sky? Maybe it is so vibrant cuz the fog is skipped entirely

[white willow]

yea fog is skipped

which yea thats def why its more vibrant than it should be

eventually when i do a rewrite of all of this i will probably look into drawing fog onto more effects

actually it may not even be that hard to do that. hold on

nvm that was a bad idea

[scarlet gust]

It's understandable why they don't like hue shifting. Hue shifting makes bright colors look terrible.

Although I still don't see why they didn't implement AgX, since that tonemapper doesn't have hue shifting either.

[scarlet gust]

Actually, that screenshot was with Solace Natural at Ultra settings on mobile, but I still have the same problem to this day with Cat Visuals at Ultra settings on my PC.

[wise hinge]

[scarlet gust]

Mm yes hue shifting

[limpid sequoia]

[scarlet gust]

Red is shifted to orange and blue is shifted to purple in that screenshot.

[white willow]

That's not hue shifting :p

Idk if it's even worth trying to explain what is happening

[scarlet gust]

You made every block emissive

[scarlet gust]

Looks like hue shifting to me

[white willow]

No I didn't

What you are seeing there isn't emission

Those are normals

Raw normal output

That is getting mixed with lighting and the base texture color

So yea there's no hue shifting because of tonemapping

[long ruin]

Lmao

[white willow]

It's literally JUST colors blending

That's it bro

I literally just made a mistake and then every normal on screen was drawn in color

Do y'all know what that means?... Mojang will HAVE TO update RTX shader code, in order to fix it... This would be the first time RTX code has been touched, since 1.21.0 when some subsurface scattering code was added (probably unintentionally)

[white willow]

End fog stuff

It's a bit less cool than I was expecting but it's still cool that fog is stronger while the dragon lives

At the end you can actually see it change when the dragon dies

For all we know it's just a multiplier ontop of current fog

But it would be cool if it is

[tribal trail]

textures are weird now

[graceful iron]

Haven’t those seams always been there?

At least for randomly rotating blocks

[tribal trail]

No?

all blocks have these

[graceful iron]

I might be tweaking then lol, but I swear I remember weird texture seams being a thing in heightmaps for ages

[graceful iron]

Is this also affecting normals, or only heightmaps?

[tribal trail]

it's very bad and on every block

not randomly rotating blocks too

[pale urchin]

What about blocks with no height map?

[tribal trail]

idk

[graceful iron]

Yikes

it’s prob new then

[tribal trail]

it's an issue with heightmaps

[graceful iron]

They probably didn’t change the normal generation via heightmaps to account for the padding changes or something

[rancid seal]

Even if they touch RTX code only to fix this issue, I will be happy anyway. Also, It was said that top rtx issue might be fixed in the future (#1182091012177399809 message) - my english knowledge doesn't allow me to say a lot. If they do something with shader code, it is going to be the perfect opportunity to fix other shader-related bugs, isn't it? I mean, I don't think they will fix anything but this bug with textures not loading correctly, but I mean there is a small chance that's going to happen.

[rancid seal]

RTX revenge lmao

[sonic canopy]

This is so cool

Polygons in Minecraft, without using "cursed" polymeshes

[iron moon]

Atlas issue, this happens with custom blocks not having a special "edge"

I use this as a feature for my addon

It gives cool edges to some blocks

To fix that you only have to draw the same heightmaps next to where the edge is

It's difficult to explain

This edge

Now that I think about it is not really a bug

Maybe in preview

[tribal trail]

it's an issue on even 100% smooth heightmap

[iron moon]

Yeah looks like it

Seems like the atlas is no longer "cutting" the heightmaps

[half nacelle]

What's also terrible is that the texture of the grass is never perfectly aligned

Aaaaaaaaa

[iron moon]

You can fix that easily

[half nacelle]

Like?

[iron moon]

Thru block.json

It doesn't look good tho

[half nacelle]

It also depends on the texture

[iron moon]

True

[scarlet gust]

I would not expect emerald blocks to have a texture that coarse. The texture I would expect an emerald block to have is a polished translucent glossy texture.

[long ruin]

Ok

[blazing whale]

Actually, it doesn't have to be smooth, you can make it rougher according to the character of the unpolished crystal.

[half nacelle]

[jade dust]

How would one go about making a flat color material?

I want to ignore all lighting and ambient occlusion and whatever else there may be. I don't use materials much

dis for a particle

making a custom cubemap but it appears that when the particle origin is in a block the whole thing goes dark

I'd also like to know how to fix this ambient occlusion on the corners and edges

[jade dust]

Also just noticed sunlight also appears to "shine through" the particles...

[sonic canopy]

This could be fog

[jade dust]

You may be correct, I tried a material that supposedly removes fog but alas it no work

[sonic canopy]

Yeah particles are very limited when it comes to materials. You can either use entities, in which case this thread should be helpful https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1118866635864940574
Or, you can still use particles, but make a sphere out of them rather than a cube, so that all particles are affected by fog equally rather than having it concentrated around the cube corners

[jade dust]

Thank you :) I might try out the sphere option

[half nacelle]

My phone asking for the 3637373827292710830383028292929th time today to update, forcing the phone to close the game:☠️

[willow needle]

for this I have limited it so that smartphones can still use it (in other subpacks)

[half nacelle]

By the way, my phone probably wouldn't lag, only the RAM would overload and the phone would close the update app to ask for an update, forcing the game to close and corrupting it. (I go through this kind of experience every day testing my shader; the difference is that I don't know how, even with the shader weighing over 200MB just in subpacks it doesn't corrupt in the game.)

[half nacelle]

In this case, it's kind of a cycle: RAM runs out - Dumb Android - Deletes the app that asks to update the system from memory - Tries to reopen it as well - Forces the game to close, since it's an "essential" system app.

[half nacelle]

So he closes the app, regardless of which one it is or the situation, and opens himself up.

[fossil otter]

Oooh i love this
Eager to get around to figuring out how to make godways a more noticable thing in my own pack. So far, i only know it has to do with fog ig?

[half nacelle]

I used 0.45 to 0.5 on the fog lights, which is higher than normal, I know, but it seems to have worked well after some adjustments. (Testing while I was testing my code for DOF in Bedrock, the code isn't finding the textures so I'm going to redo the JSONs via Python script to code find them correctly)

If you find the color too strong, you can adjust it. Here it's in the forest, so I adjusted the forest biomes to a blue close to green to make it look like this.

[half nacelle]

It's so close to working, gys, I just need to adjust the radius of the Frustum Culling (I've already adjusted it) and this "skill issue" of mine with the interconnection to find the textures; the code is only working in the preview, unfortunately

[fossil otter]

It really has lovely shades to it, great work! Ill give the fog light idea a spin for sure

Better Mipmapping

Have you noticed that when RTX or Vibrant Visuals is turned on, animations get stuck on the first frame when you're too far away? That's because those animations are controlled by a flipbook texture and a mipmapper, with the mipmapper instructing the flipbook texture how far away it can play. This can have slightly better performance and slightly less noise, but it can be really annoying when animated blocks don't work at a distance. For example, if you're using a resource pack that relies on flipbook textures like Gaming RGB Sea Lanterns, you'll know how annoying it is that the Gaming RGB Sea Lanterns become red when you get too far away from them. As a solution, I created a resource pack that fixes all of those issues by completely disabling mipmapping. All RTX and Vibrant Visuals users should use Better Mipmapping because it unrestricts the distance that flipbook textures can play, shows the true potential of flipbook textures in RTX and Vibrant Visuals, and barely reduces any performance for all of these benefits.

[wise hinge]

bruh

[rancid seal]

[scarlet gust]

What did I do wrong? It's just a simple resource pack that disables mipmapping.

hi there, I have an edited map and applied some wave effects to the water, but why in some regions, specially where there are borders where the blending happened the water becomes like this?
any idea?

it even do a curve....

[rancid seal]

Lol

[white willow]

this is because wave blending between biomes isnt 100% perfect

theres no way to fix this right now unless all biomes have the EXACT same wave config

[gloomy whale]

thank you, will try it

great, that fixed, thx again 🙂

no, it was not false positive, indeed I had 3 different oceans in a small area, after created all variants using the same water settings the glitch textured on blending area was gone

I've mentioned this various times before but I'm gonna bring it up again

Around 1.21.80 TAAU changed and became much blurrier than in previous versions. I'm gonna share two images, both are 1440p 75%. Old TAAU what much sharper so I'm curious what changed or why

Left is 1.21.70 and below, right is current

Same order but even more zoomed

[limpid sequoia]

[half nacelle]

Realistic colors?

[half nacelle]

I prefer the old one.

[half nacelle]

I prefer the old one too.

[white willow]

That's the point I was making

Old one was better

New one is too blurry especially for the resolution and percentage

[half nacelle]

It's one of two things: either they're testing the blur that was incomplete in the app's Shaders, or they're optimizing TAAU.

[white willow]

My guess is they tried to adjust TAAU for stability over quality

Which really didn't equate to much because the old TAAU was more stable than current

New one struggles with clouds and has some weird color artifacting

I had a video but cannot find it

This here shows the color issue and if you read above too

I do have a theory tho

Recently it's been found the stock DLSS that ships with the game was updated to DLSS 4.5 from DLSS 2.1 last preview. Wondering if maybe other upscalers/AA are planned

Or it's because they gotta fix RTX and DLSS 2.1 doesn't work on 50 series

[half nacelle]

Bilinear is better than TAAU☠️🙏

[white willow]

yes and no. the lack of anti aliasing with it kinda sucks

where imo, if you can run native, just use native

but its definitely better on mobile where you cant notice it as much

TAAU is already blurry and with the smaller phone screen that needs lower res counts, it just gets BAD

and bilinear is a bit cheaper so its nicer on phones

[half nacelle]

Is hell cheaper

With TAAU, the FPS drop from 30 to 20 in seconds.

[white willow]

which makes sense

bilinear is just simple scene downscaling with nothing special behind it

TAAU is both anti-aliasing and accumulation.
so it smooths out the image, then further improves image quality by using information from previous scenes (which also helps with denoising). Its a great technique when done well

but like obviously for mobile, may not be the most ideal

[patent dove]

i have a question

so

im confused on what value ur supposed to change to get “true darkness”, like so you actually cant see in an enclosed lightless space

how do you do that, i had a pack that was pretty close

[limpid sequoia]

what do u mean mate?

can u explain it

[patent dove]

if you have no direct light sources, no moon or sun, like a imagine ur in a black box. most vibrant visual packs have it so even then you can still see and makeout blocks when it should be almost pitch black. i had a pack that was one of the only ones ive seen that had somewhat “true darkness” and im wondering what value is to be changed to affect that

[patent dove]

nvm i found it

but it’s hard to only get the very darks, dark

id figure tweaking midtones would fix it but it has only minimally

[willow needle]

for example bug

[tribal trail]

I still don't get it

[limpid sequoia]

easy

[limpid sequoia]

i tried 12500 and it worser

[willow needle]

for example, this is the default Vibrant Visuals, in this photo the bug is not very clear because the color of the sky and the clouds are almost the same, but if you look closely, it looks like the sunlight doesn't penetrate the clouds or in simple terms the color of the clouds remains gray and doesn't follow the color of the sun

[limpid sequoia]

u can see the clouds

the shadow looks really weird

[willow needle]

Actually the main problem is not the shadow but how the clouds react to light.

[tribal trail]

why should it follow of the sun

[limpid sequoia]

[willow needle]

simply because clouds are not solid objects (reference from freepik)

[tribal trail]

clouds are also not blocky irl

[willow needle]

yeah i know but minecraft clouds are also derived from real world cloud references but using a blocky concept, so light should be able to enter too 🙂

At least until rtx issues caused by vv are fixed

Actually hell no RTX is so cute

Love this cutie

Controlling visuals of biomes is also fine with volumetric fogs

Creating green ambience, for example, is still easy

I am terrible at creating fogs, but anyways

1% better shot

Or not, idk

[half nacelle]

I usually use this to create clouds similar to the BSL clouds in Java.

"create" in this case

[half nacelle]

It's not bad, it's just the color that's bad for the biome.

[half nacelle]

Easy?

☠️

[rancid seal]

For me it is. There is nothing hard at colouring sun rays and using absorption

[patent dove]

hi does anyone have like a full “template” pack that i could just use to edit the values? im too confused to start a pack on my own

also idk if this is normal but if i edit an resource pack in my files by just editing the text too many times, itll stop working?

i dont think its from a typo breaking it or anything

[rancid seal]

Mob maze - fancy VS vv VS RTX. No RTX resource packs - using PBR and fogs given by server. So everything is fair.

In this case, i prob choose fancy because the server is designed for it at first. It somehow has PBR textures. Fancy keeps the style of the place, vv kinda adds some shadows and cool stuff, rtx makes it realistic

However, playing with RTX in mob maze was actually fun

Looks funny enoughhow rtx and vv work on Soul Steel. The server uses ugly looking distance fog, was prob made for fancy

I also want to test RTX in The hive, but i can't join this exact server lol. Ill have to struggle with my network to make the hive work lmao

[leaden stump]

What kind of settings did you use?

[half nacelle]

0.25, the problem was that it was supposed to be like that, but I don't know at this point if that's already an atmospheric bug or something else.

[half nacelle]

Yes, image 3 is correct, I planned the fog like that too.

[willow needle]

Default normalmap (Vibrant visuals)

with normalmap reconstruction (Vibrant visuals)

with normalmap reconstruction + POM (Java)

[scarlet gust]

Why the heck are you using the default DLSS version?

I like the RTX version the most, but DLSS 2.1.16 looks terrible.

DLSS Swapper lets you swap the DLSS DLL to any version.

By the way, I heard that a Minecraft preview update uses DLSS 310.5.3 instead of DLSS 2.1.16, so I might no longer need DLSS Swapper in the future.

[scarlet gust]

Just use height maps. They're better than normals in my opinion.

[willow needle]

in that image, heightmap has been used (with a different method)

[willow needle]

Hmm clouds effect

[limpid sequoia]

My 9th cloud

if i have to continue i might be dead

[willow needle]

the shape is quite good

[limpid sequoia]

i've tried very much time

and i used 512 x 512

[rancid seal]

Idc bro which one I use. Objects always blur in the far distances because your eyes have limits.

[rancid seal]

Rtx in preview doesn't work in general

By the way

[scarlet gust]

They updated DLSS to 310.5.3 in Minecraft Preview

Another RTX update soon?

[rancid seal]

Bro rtx doesn't work in minecraft preview in general 😭

[scarlet gust]

Then why did they even bother to update DLSS

[rancid seal]

Prob for 50xx GPU-s

Because the issue with textures is not fixed.

And will not be fixed in the next preview

I mean, it works, but it is not ray tracing, its atlas tracing
