[rancid seal]

I feel like I should send some rtx screenshots here

[limpid sequoia]

yes

[blazing whale]

yes

[severe grove]

Bruh

I'm really really hope our server profile didn't change 🙏🥀

[limpid sequoia]

why do they need to hide man

[limpid sequoia]

i think i should change my logo's server too

[severe grove]

Monkey get out of their'e caves

[limpid sequoia]

i'm non-binary and i don't need to hide or get out

[severe grove]

Wdym?

[limpid sequoia]

uh, it's just not related to what you've said (i mean the previous message)

[severe grove]

I mean what is non-binary?

[white willow]

learning the racing of rats

[tribal trail]

nice rats

I'll cry

[limpid sequoia]

you can search it on google man

[limpid sequoia]

great

[limpid sequoia]

i thought this bug has fixed

🗿

[tribal trail]

it's back

https://klipy.com/gifs/kill-me-shoot-me

[silent zealot]

I am banning this gif from this server

Spiritually Twitter

[limpid sequoia]

Holy Mother of God

[tribal trail]

i know

i thought it's gone forever

[limpid sequoia]

[proven hemlock]

it will be gone (again) soon!

[tribal trail]

yay

[proven hemlock]

Though a lot of folks were really digging the new look 😄

[rancid seal]

I told Minecraft servers icon is ugly and got banned there lol

Not good server

[sonic canopy]

Kinda curious what was the reason for rolling back this fix. I assume it was intentionally rolled back?

[rancid seal]

Honestly it was an impressive bug, as we could, uhh, kinda find nee interesting design for textures. I am not if i should be sad that it was only happening with animated textures, at least for rtx 🙃

[silent zealot]

Why are we being homophobic?

[proven hemlock]

This wasn't intentional - just lots going on and some delays getting things in for the latest previews!

[rancid seal]

Idk, i am not supposed to see those things at all as our government bans every service when rainbow flags can be found, and ye, discord is kinda banned in out country

[white willow]

Rats running around (I gotta fix nighttime)

[woven mauve]

-# to be fair it does have mixels, the pride flag is at a different pixel size than the creeper face. and mixels are ugly.

[white willow]

Bathroom tile sheep goes crazy

[severe grove]

😂

[severe grove]

No freedom of speech on that server

[silent zealot]

Freedom of speech protects you from the government not Discord servers 😁

[long ruin]

"Freedom of speech ≠ freedom of consequence"

[limpid sequoia]

i have no idea
try to understand them

[scarlet gust]

Why did I get pinged twice here?

[limpid sequoia]

who pinged you man

[wise hinge]

poll results ping.

[limpid sequoia]

"Sharp" shadows

i'm just playing with the shadows config

[limpid sequoia]

[rancid seal]

I have the same thing... But only fow anumated textuwes.

Welcome to the dark side (i still dont know how to implement a denoiser)

[severe grove]

Of course

[limpid sequoia]

for me, doesn't matter they're gay, les or what................... if they're happy so that's fine

i'm happy with my non-binary identify and my pronouns

[severe grove]

You can answer with one word

[limpid sequoia]

yes, but i think dont ask it in this place

[severe grove]

I know

This place is about graphic

[limpid sequoia]

Purple

[wind pollen]

Fogggg

[quasi trench]

why would it be in a cave? not everyone’s base or home is in a cave

what is your reason for thinking that all of them are coming out of some hiding spot

why would they hide in your perspective

[rancid seal]

Oh no guys, let's not start talking about this

[rancid seal]

End update leak

[limpid sequoia]

yes

[white willow]

we've got some path tracing

[severe grove]

Maybe you don't understand.

[severe grove]

Path tracing on Bedrock?

[severe grove]

Yes

[white willow]

theres been path tracing on bedrock since 2020

but aside from that, im implementing my own path tracing

[severe grove]

Yo idk about that 🗿, i thought in bedrock, there's only ray tracing

[white willow]

they just used ray tracing as the term

bedrock rtx is path traced

oh yea and ive got sunlight gi working

there is no indirect gi yet though

im not really sure how that works

[severe grove]

When yh punya erteeks

[limpid sequoia]

[limpid sequoia]

[wise hinge]

holy shiny

[wise hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/beautiful-amazing-so-beautiful-it-is-what-it-is-gif-22558916

[white willow]

i fixed the leaky gi

omg

that was driving me insane

there were a number of mistakes i made causing gi to just go through walls

and also causing to to be too weak

or well losing energy way too fast

[rancid seal]

Does your shader use vanilla mc sky?

Not rtx variant

[white willow]

no

it uses a custom sky that i made

[limpid sequoia]

real

[wise hinge]

[white willow]

this problem was driving me insane

[wise hinge]

ouch

[white willow]

it seems to be fixed now

im not seeing it

yea its not happening

[wise hinge]

warped

[rancid seal]

forest

[limpid sequoia]

nice work

[quasi trench]

explain yourself then? that is why i asked you that question

[limpid sequoia]

i have no idea but just respect them

they're human just like you

[severe grove]

Stop talking about this. It will never ended

[severe grove]

I told ya, you dont understand, maybe even i told you million times, you still don't understand

now shut up, this is the place to talk about graphics

[limpid sequoia]

you're the one who started it

don't blame it to anybody

[severe grove]

That's why i end it, im start it, i ended it

[limpid sequoia]

People only respect you if you respect them

What goes around comes around

[severe grove]

Ik

[quasi trench]

it sounds like you don’t even understand your own words, i’m just asking a question about them so you can speak on it(not me)

[pale urchin]

Yeah but not here

[quasi trench]

ok i’ll let them explain themself elsewhere

[severe grove]

Okay, I'll explain. Those people came out of the cave, I mean, it's just an insult, I hate them. That's all, no more, no less. If you don't accept what I said, it's okay. That's just my opinion.

I'm sorry if my word hurt them

[limpid sequoia]

enough then

[severe grove]

That's why

I dont wanna talk about it again 🗿

So @quasi trench hope you understand, if you not stop talking about it. This is about GRAPHICS. Not a debate place. Ok?

[severe grove]

Agree

[quasi trench]

i only asked you that question because it was you who mentioned it before anyone else

you have answered now which is what i wanted so that is all

[limpid sequoia]

Survival and pink sheep

uhhhhhhhhhh

[half nacelle]

Helll goated

[half nacelle]

I'm too

[half nacelle]

Kicking is basically global illumination, taking the direct rays of the local lighting and creating a light based on that, am i right?

[scarlet gust]

Where can I download this and try it out for myself?

Why are you taking an eternity to respond?

[long ruin]

Because he's not obligated to respond to you at all

Or might have you blocked

[scarlet gust]

I know I'm not blocked because I can see their profile.

Wait, only five mutual servers?

[long ruin]

You're not in the BetterRTX server anymore

[scarlet gust]

That said six mutual servers earlier today.

[long ruin]

Minecraft RTX server*

[rancid seal]

Bro have you ever notcied you got fucked up from minecraft rtx discord?

[scarlet gust]

That was the server that got me way too addicted to Discord. Specifically ragebaiting in Discord. And I never cured that addiction.

[scarlet gust]

There's a dedicated server for BetterRTX?

[long ruin]

No I just misspelled it

[long ruin]

Thats why I corrected myself :D

[scarlet gust]

My brain is basically fried since I had four finals today and more finals are coming up soon.

Wait everyone has less mutual servers.

[rancid seal]

Can't wait to see Minecraft VV discord server, even when i konda hate vv lol! Wait, is there actually one..?

[rancid seal]

Yea cuz im in Minecraft rtx server

[scarlet gust]

By the way, where's the techtalk channel?

Did it get removed?

[long ruin]

Ehhhh closest one is the bedrock graphics server lol

[scarlet gust]

Isn't that the server I got banned from a year ago?

[long ruin]

Dunno

[rancid seal]

Yeah and im not surprised that you were

[rancid seal]

Well, that one is still vv&rtx server

[scarlet gust]

Probably because I spammed in every channel when very sleep deprived.

[scarlet gust]

I need more context.

[rancid seal]

Lol bro what you don't understand? You are not in minecraft rtx server - less mutual servers

[scarlet gust]

So you left the Minecraft RTX server?

[long ruin]

XD

[rancid seal]

No bruh

You are not in that server

That's what i say

[scarlet gust]

Did my account get compromised?

Does my password need to be changed?

[long ruin]

No, you were presumably kicked or banned

[rancid seal]

Wtf are you talking about

[long ruin]

Your nickname is "No Longer Ragebaiting" in the server

[rancid seal]

Can i dm you for a sec

[long ruin]

Ofc

[scarlet gust]

My Discord is broken yet again.

Why are there dark gray bars on the left and right edges of my screen?

I'm on mobile btw.

I'm restarting Discord.

Something seems wrong.

A simple restart fixed the issue.

[scarlet gust]

I've seen many bugs like this. Discord is very unpolished imo.

[scarlet gust]

I wonder what they're discussing in DMs.

[long ruin]

Cats

[scarlet gust]

https://tenor.com/view/glungus-cat-pet-cute-3-gif-16184415194478627879

[scarlet gust]

I unfortunately can't join your conversation about cats in DMs, because unlike the Columbian Exchange and the Triangular Trade, DMs are only two-directional.

[rancid seal]

It is no longer about cats

[scarlet gust]

What is it about now?

[limpid sequoia]

[scarlet gust]

It's about dogs?

[limpid sequoia]

yeah

[scarlet gust]

But I want to talk about cats.

[scarlet gust]

Hold up. I am the professional ragebaiter. How could I no longer be ragebaiting?

This chat is genuinely dead.

It takes ages for anyone to respond.

I am not recieving any dopamine from this.

There is literally no benefit in yapping here.

I think my attention span might be too short for Discord.

I'm done here.

I'm getting off Discord.

I have better things to do than waste my time.

I'm going to touch some grass.

[limpid sequoia]

dawg

[limpid sequoia]

me too

[scarlet gust]

I'm going to be in the present moment instead of on Discord.

Discord is a huge waste of time.

And you can't get any of that time back.

Time only moves forward.

And using Discord is more than wasting my time.

It's wasting my life.

And my life shouldn't be wasted on some messaging app made by a large, soulless corporation that only wants you to keep actively using it and wasting your money.

God forbid someone takes a nap

I'll add an updated release to my GitHub soonish

You can find my projects there

Which it's also linked on my profile

[wise hinge]

omg vibrancy progess

[scarlet gust]

Have you not been aware of the Cat RTX and Cat Visuals progress in the past few months?

There was a redstone lamp rework (which is probably new redstone lamp PBR), animation bug fixes (which we can assume is the removal of mipmapping so animations properly play at a distance), and the switch from trash ACES to Hable (which is a revolutionary switch in tonemappers).

[willow needle]

Thank you

[willow needle]

Thank you but we spent more than 6 hours to create some realistic textures to get the results we wanted

[limpid sequoia]

uhh

[limpid sequoia]

🫃

rtex is fancy for now

[rancid seal]

Wait wtf

[limpid sequoia]

🗿

i'm starting from 0

just build the lighting first

[rancid seal]

What did you do to my rtex 😭 😭 😭

[limpid sequoia]

RTX is mine

now i'm married with RTX

[rancid seal]

But why is it fancy

[limpid sequoia]

because the code is... basic

[rancid seal]

Huh

[limpid sequoia]

that's why i said i'm starting from 0

[rancid seal]

What are you starting

[limpid sequoia]

Understand how DirectX Ray Tracing works

and High Level Shading Language

[rancid seal]

Ok

[sonic canopy]

Oh wow, another rtx shader. Wasn't expecting so many people to start making those all of a sudden lol

[limpid sequoia]

[rancid seal]

I cannot create rtex sadars 😭

[sonic canopy]

Have you tried? It's probably easier than you think

[limpid sequoia]

why not

[rancid seal]

The problem is i know nothing about crearing shaders and about creating rtx shaders

[limpid sequoia]

[sonic canopy]

Nobody is born with that knowledge yk, everyone who does it had to learn it for the first time at some point

[rancid seal]

Yeah, but it is hard for ke to jdnertsnad what i should start with

[sonic canopy]

If you are interested in shaders, I can recommend starting here https://thebookofshaders.com/

[rancid seal]

Thank you, i will try

[viscid skiff]

Is it possible for VV pack to make the clouds 3D instead of flat 2d plane?

[limpid sequoia]

yes! with custom shaders

[viscid skiff]

so not possible using a resource pack?

[limpid sequoia]

yes

[viscid skiff]

Okay, thanks

[severe grove]

Test

Ok, seems alright

[tribal trail]

quirky is a trendsetter

[severe grove]

RTX OR VV???? IT'S LOOK VERY GOOD

[limpid sequoia]

that's VV mate!

and thanks

[wise hinge]

[severe grove]

Vibrant legacy?

[limpid sequoia]

yes! vibrant legacy

[severe grove]

😛😛😛

Lesgo

[severe grove]

Wait, which Vibrant legacy?

[rancid seal]

[limpid sequoia]

simple series

[severe grove]

Ok

[rancid seal]

You have different vv pack variants wtf

I thought you had one

[limpid sequoia]

yeah

3 of variants

and 1 for the new series which called LerianX

[rancid seal]

I thought about making different variants for my pack too, but uhh im not sure which ones should i do. I have two variants that can be switched in rp settings for now

[limpid sequoia]

that's sound great

i'm so stressed with rtex sadar

but i'll NGU

NGU = Never Give Up and NGU in Vietnamese is stupid, dump,...

[rancid seal]

I have Light path default and light path high, but the only thing that is different between them are fogs (for now). I also though about making add-ons for my packs (small resource packs that allows to control different parts of the main pack). But comining that one with variants is kinda hard, so that's why I will not have a lot of pack vaariants

[limpid sequoia]

great

[half nacelle]

HOW GOATED IT IS? I WANNA PLAY IN TS SHADER BUT I JS HAVE A CELLPHONE 😭🙏

[half nacelle]

Where?

[blazing whale]

🗿

[pale urchin]

It looks like RTX, so you're not getting it any time soon

[half nacelle]

Ya ik, BUT I WANNA PEAK😭🙏

[severe grove]

It's maybe a BetterRTX preset bro, we not gonna have it

[limpid sequoia]

i have compiled it 5 times and nothing change

streesed

[sonic canopy]

Did you restart the game?

[limpid sequoia]

yes! i have done it a few times :vv

[sonic canopy]

What changes did you make?

[limpid sequoia]

i've tried to add grayscale

[sonic canopy]

Could you show the change that you made?

[limpid sequoia]

sure!

#include "../../include/bgfx_shader.sh"

    SAMPLER2D(s_RasterColor, 0);
SAMPLER2D(s_gRasterizedInput, 2);

void main()
{
    // Original colour
    float4 raster = texture2D(s_gRasterizedInput, v_texcoord0);
    float3 color = texture2D(s_RasterColor, v_texcoord0).rgb;
    color = color * (1.0 - raster.a) + raster.rgb;

    // Grayscale
    float gray = dot(color, float3(0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722));
    float3 finalColor = float3(gray, gray, gray);

    gl_FragColor = float4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
}```

that's fragment shader

[severe grove]

[severe grove]

It's rtx innit?

[limpid sequoia]

yes

[wise hinge]

[severe grove]

Cool

[limpid sequoia]

thank you

i'm gonna hell now

[sonic canopy]

Did you edit the files in the project folder? Does it compile without any errors?

[limpid sequoia]

yes! i edited the files in the project folder

it's always being like this when i compile the shaders

[sonic canopy]

Oh, do you run the src/script? It overwrites the files in the project folder

You can just edit the files in the project folder and compile with lazurite, no need to run anything in src/ or edit template folder. In fact, you can just remove src and template folders

[limpid sequoia]

yes 😖😖😖

thank you!!!

my lord

[white willow]

I guess so 😔

[limpid sequoia]

nah

dont let me break my pc

finally

[white willow]

128 sample GI. Once I can accumulate it should be able to get this level of detail for 8x less samples or more

[limpid sequoia]

yooo

yay

finally

[rancid seal]

Ok

[limpid sequoia]

never give up

[rancid seal]

Never gonna give u up never gonne let u down

[limpid sequoia]

[rancid seal]

Never gonne let u cry never gonna say goodbye

[limpid sequoia]

what are u talking about man

it's 11:09 now

and i'm so excited

[wind pollen]

What the heck

[rancid seal]

19:18 yay :3

[wise hinge]

1am

[white willow]

What the heck did you do

[limpid sequoia]

i just added some codes in the post processing

[wind pollen]

10 pm

[sonic canopy]

How did you fix it?

[rancid seal]

Bro just enjoys doing shaders

[limpid sequoia]

i changed gl_FragColor = float4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); to gl_FragColor = float4(finalColor, 1.0); of course

[sonic canopy]

No I mean how did you make it such that your game was able to register changes to shaders?

[limpid sequoia]

ahh i got it! hmmm... I just added some code to bloom and it works!

just like post processing is ralated to the bloom

[quasi trench]

dazed effect

[limpid sequoia]

🗿

[half nacelle]

What a shoit it is😭🙏

Btw i hate ts horrible bloom in the sun of patched shaders

[rancid seal]

Default RTX with glowing entities

[graceful iron]

default RTX?

[rancid seal]

Yeah

Pawslight is lazy but clever :3

I hope at least.

[cedar pumice]

You should consider joining hangout servers or perhaps finding some friends if you’re looking for conversation

[scarlet gust]

Please don't accumulate it.

[white willow]

if you want good visuals with playable fps it NEEDS to be accumulated

it only looks that crisp because im using absurdly high samples

on normal samples its not nearly as crisp

accumulation will make it crisper

[scarlet gust]

Accumulation will make light update slower.

[white willow]

tradeoff that needs to happen

gi has to be accumulated in path tracing. there is no ifs ands or buts

[scarlet gust]

I watched a video on what would happen if light was slow, and it looks terrible.

[white willow]

well either i accumulate it and get slower updates but way better gi quality for 8x more performance or i dont accumulate it, run it at really high samples and have an unplayable game

accumulation needs to happen

doesnt matter

[scarlet gust]

It would also make light have the doppler effect.

[white willow]

also theres many tricks nowadays you can do to need less accumulation

[scarlet gust]

And light should NOT have the doppler effect.

[white willow]

here we go again

talking on things you literally do not understand

[scarlet gust]

Accumulation samples less light and uses previous data to make it enough light, basically simulating slow light.

It might have less noise and better performance, but there is a cost in doing this.

If a bright light source instantly disappeared with accumulation, there would still be light from that area for a short period of time due to there still being sampled light.

Similarly, if light was slow and a bright light source instantly disappeared, it would take a while for that to reach your eyes.

If an object was moving by really fast with accumulation, it would have ghosting.

Similarly, if light was slow, there would be a doppler effect.

[white willow]

3 gi samples vs 256 gi samples. without accumulation 3 samples does basically nothing. you either need absurd samples or accumulation. and for REAL TIME PATH TRACING that mostly has to use 1-3 samples at most. accumulation is a must. i dont care what source you read from

[white willow]

ok and oyu know how to fix that? LOOK AWAY FROM IT

[white willow]

depends on the temporal alpha. low temporal alpha will have very low ghosting to no ghosting especially with modern tactics. you can use tricks like ReStir to reuse existing samples to accumulate better without needing as much.

it doesnt matter what points you try to use

accumulation is necessary no matter what

offline path tracing uses accumulated rendering

it accumulates more samples overtime while sitting still

[white willow]

oh also i should mention. my gi right now is only single bounce. add multiple bounces in and performance dies even further making accumulation even more of a must

[scarlet gust]

Is that why this open-sourced ray tracer I found online looked like trash for the first few frames but looked good after about 500 frames were rendered?

[graceful iron]

yes

[white willow]

brother doesnt even know what offline rendering is and trying to explain to me why i shouldnt accumulate my gi

i cant

[scarlet gust]

And ofc Discord compression nuked the video.

[white willow]

this is a clown show bro

[iron moon]

looks extremely clean

now do it with useless squids

[rancid seal]

I can't lol

[iron moon]

why?

[rancid seal]

This thing only works with mobs that are on surface (not underwater)

[iron moon]

weird

[rancid seal]

It's not for me, as i know in what way i have created that

There are almost no mobs i can use this thing with tbh. Most of them make things unstable. And there are not a lot of mobs in minecraft in general that really need to have the light. Usually glowing effect without any light emission is fine.

[scarlet gust]

BetterRTX 1.4 is extremely broken right now.

Sonic wave ahhh sky ngl.

Did I forget to mention the blindingly bright flashbangs of pure white when switching between biomes?

And some biomes have a melancholy, pale gray sky.

[limpid sequoia]

Anamorphic Bloom

[white willow]

where bloom

i dont quite see it

could be better with hdr rendering

all im seeing right now are point lights

[scarlet gust]

I legitimately forgot how good default RTX looked.

Default RTX my beloved.

[limpid sequoia]

i forgot to add it in the post processing 🗿

And Fortnite is 100GB by itself.

I don't even play Fortnite anymore.

I almost have enough storage space for dual booting Windows and Linux.

[limpid sequoia]

[scarlet gust]

When I tried to move my videos onto a SanDisk 512GB UHS-I SD Card a year ago, it fried the drive and I lost $150. I wonder if the same will happen when transferring junk files to my SanDisk 256GB USB Flash Drive. I hope not.

[limpid sequoia]

never give up

[scarlet gust]

I'm trying to free up enough space for dual booting.

Btw, where is the techtalk channel on this server?

[limpid sequoia]

in off-topic ig

[scarlet gust]

Was it removed?

[scarlet gust]

So they removed the techtalk channel?

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[limpid sequoia]

[scarlet gust]

[graceful iron]

there never was one here

[scarlet gust]

I'm quitting Discord until the techtalk channel is revived.

[limpid sequoia]

what

[scarlet gust]

I'm checking 10 minutes later to see if it's back.

It's not.

Hold up. Where is the other games channel?

And the Minecraft Java Edition channel?

Why are so many channels missing?

What happened to this server?

[graceful iron]

this server never had them?

[scarlet gust]

Idk what you're talking about. This server has had them for years, but after I came back from my 7th Grade Social Studies Final, I checked Discord and they were missing.

[graceful iron]

this aint the MCRTX server dawg

[scarlet gust]

I've been on the wrong server?

Then where's the MCRTX server?

Where did it go?

It's genuinely gone.

[limpid sequoia]

[scarlet gust]

What happened between when I checked my phone yesterday before school and after the social studies and English finals?

Did my account get hacked?

Did the server get taken down?

[limpid sequoia]

it's hard for me understand the logic

but just try hard

[scarlet gust]

Did something happen on the server that I'm not aware of?

Did the server die out so they made a new server?

Someone please explain.

[scarlet gust]

Here's a very old screenshot for comparison.

[white willow]

added water extinction similar to bedrock rtx

[scarlet gust]

Why am I so addicted to this platform?

I said I would quit Discord, but I'm checking Discord yet again.

I'm going to try uninstalling Discord.

It's the only way I can stop using it.

Maybe not though.

[scarlet gust]

When are we getting ray traced reflections?

[white willow]

idk

im working on fog right now

[scarlet gust]

I managed to clean up 500GB of unneccessary videos, and for the important ones, I moved them to my SanDisk 256GB USB flash drive that I formatted in FAT32.

I'm not sure why I formatted it in FAT32, but for the video files above 4GB, I used Shutter Encoder.

Shutter Encoder is the best app for running FFMPEG locally with NVENC GPU acceleration.

I've almost cleared enough space for Bazzite.

I'm almost ready to dual boot.

I'll clear up more space tomorrow.

[limpid sequoia]

[limpid sequoia]

i'm still messing with the code 😭

[severe grove]

What VV pack is it?

[severe grove]

Is it your ertiex shader bradar?

[severe grove]

W lighting
L performance

[severe grove]

My opinion for BetterRTX preset:
1.MADLAD BetterRTX.(Classic, but very good. I like it so much. The thing that i don't like from BetterRTX is there's no flat water preset. I don't like parralax water.)

2.QuirkyPlague BetterRTX (very beautiful. Amazing. The chromatic abberation is very good too. Impressive)

3.Stephenle19 BetterRTX (still in development but i see an pitentional from this preset. Looks very good.)

[white willow]

This reminded me I gotta add chromatic aberration to my new shader >:)

[severe grove]

Chromatic abberation was very good for horror shader

Like backrooms

Sometimes i like it, but sometimes, i hate it

[severe grove]

Look like VV for a sec.

[severe grove]

It's not gone

[white willow]

Kinda

I'm super happy with how the fog came out. It's by far the best fog I've ever made

Problem

Performance is now uh

Fairly bad

[severe grove]

My main enemy

[white willow]

And I'm not sure if it's the fogs fault or me just sucking at writing code

Ok apparently the performance is fine my pc was just having a major skill issue

[limpid sequoia]

after added the RTXStub

[severe grove]

Very smooth 👍

[severe grove]

I got fog too 👍

Vv:Vibrant Legacy Simple v2.3.0

[white willow]

Is different though

The fog I did is straight up a custom implementation

My next task will for sure be trying to get reflections working

[severe grove]

Oh ok, at least it was a fog innit

[limpid sequoia]

i spent all my time for that

[wise hinge]

tf

[blazing whale]

Lavender biome

Turn off narator 🗿

[limpid sequoia]

[limpid sequoia]

sure 🗿

[inland vault]

That is ALOT of fog

[rancid seal]

Bro forgot padding was removed 🥀

It will work in release, but not im preview

[limpid sequoia]

i'm testing my custom shader

so it's not related

[rancid seal]

It is related

[limpid sequoia]

but i do not CARE

[rancid seal]

As this bug is happening after padding was removed, in other shaders

[limpid sequoia]

and i haven't added padding yet

[rancid seal]

Alright, keep looking how your shader is rotting

[limpid sequoia]

just post processing and bloom

[limpid sequoia]

yeah! thank you for that

u should take care of your own projects too! dont let them gotta hell

[severe grove]

It's thin, don't worry

[rancid seal]

Bro thinks i care if someone blocks me

No the fuck i don't

[severe grove]

I thought i was your voice 🗿

[limpid sequoia]

lol

bruh

[limpid sequoia]

absolutely cinema!

[bronze galleon]

Have you made a documentation since ?

[scarlet gust]

It's gone on my end though.

[severe grove]

Oh

[severe grove]

I'd rather have this cursed RTX than VV. RTX FOR LIFEEE 🔥

[limpid sequoia]

[rancid seal]

Yeah

[scarlet gust]

Old screenshot of Discord vs new screenshot of Discord.

[severe grove]

Oh wait, youre catgamer

?

[scarlet gust]

The MCRTX server dissapeared about two days agp.

[severe grove]

Even though i don't have RTX, but i love RTX

[severe grove]

Ohh, that's why i never see you here again

[rancid seal]

It is so obvious you were removed from the server for being annoying as hell

[severe grove]

I thought you disseappeard

How long does it take to type bro 😭

[sonic canopy]

This issue is likely related to one of those commits. Do you have them both present? If yes, then try undoing the changes from Support for 26.30.32 as 26.40 preview rolled back the changes that were made in 26.30.32

Unless that's not a custom shader that you made?

[limpid sequoia]

that's my custom shader 😅

[sonic canopy]

Tbh I completely forgot about it 😅
I'll make a note so that I don't forget and come back to it at some point, when I have time

[graceful iron]

Vibrancy (my own personal pack for VV)

The previous version is kind of ass and all of the changes that make the pack actually bearable are yet to be released tho

[sonic canopy]

Crunchy colors

[graceful iron]

supernova

[zenith stone]

[sonic canopy]

Why does it look like this?

Reminds me of infrared photography

[viscid skiff]

is it possible to increase the mipmap on VV because the block is getting blurry real fast the further it is

[scarlet gust]

Why does Bazzite come pre-installed with Firefox?

"You're in safe paws"

[scarlet gust]

I'm shrinking the size of my Linux partition to make room for Bazzite.

[long ruin]

idk how this is graphics related

[scarlet gust]

Good point. We should move this to https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/523877526343254016.

[long ruin]

by we, you mean you?

[viscid skiff]

I figure it's not possible, mipmap are set on engine level

[sonic canopy]

What do you mean by increase mipmap? Do you want to change the range at which blocks get blurry? Or add more mip levels? Or maybe remove mipmaps completely?

[viscid skiff]

add the mipmap scale, like the one MC Java settings where it allows the blocks to be less pixelated the further it goes

0x mipmap on java is the lowest, 4x it's highest
on 4x, block are less blurry compared to 0x on great distances

[sonic canopy]

So, you want things to look blurrier?

[viscid skiff]

no, clearer

like it's very blurry, I want this to be rendered better to remove the pixelated stuff

[sonic canopy]

Do you want it to be more like left or more like right?

[viscid skiff]

right

[sonic canopy]

If you are on windows, you might be able to change some gpu driver settings in nvidia app or control panel, otherwise the only option would be custom shaders or relying on taau upscaling to smooth out the details

[viscid skiff]

perhaps you know on what settings to change on Nvidia?

I ask my friends to take this picture for me since my laptop didn't support VV

so yeah, idk nothing about nvidia

[sonic canopy]

Idk, probably something related to mipmaps or texture filtering

[viscid skiff]

alright, thanks

[viscid skiff]

how do I fix this issue with shadows on water surface, strangely it brighter resulting in this weird coloring under the bridge

[limpid sequoia]

sorry for the ping, i have a question that if i don't want to change anything in RTXStub so i can't add more features like lighting, shadows, volumetric fog, etc,... right?

[white willow]

(late response i know) i was just doing basic lambertian and i made a mistake and multipled albedo by PI too soon and it resulted in that

point lights

might make the shadows a tad sharper

[wise hinge]

ow that's sick

[white willow]

the point lights go brrt

[white willow]

tee hee

[scarlet gust]

GPU go Brrrrr

I love Bazzite

[limpid sequoia]

🗿

[scarlet gust]

Although I'm still learning how to use it

It's probably much less bloated than Windows though

I wonder how my Steam games run on Bazzite

The same applies for my Bazzite KDE distro, but I only have 16GB LPDDR5-6400 CL19 RAM, so it's a bit more balanced.

[limpid sequoia]

[limpid sequoia]

you're doing very well

💯

[severe grove]

Dang, looks very very good. Btw, you said the performance is must fixed, but i see it's smooth like 60 fps

[white willow]

So turns out performance was not the shader it was the games

Vsync got turned on somehow which if you don't know, kills performance in mc especially with raytracing

[severe grove]

Oh i got it, ok

[severe grove]

Btw what's your PC/Laptop specification?

[limpid sequoia]

aces

[sonic canopy]

Yeah RTXStub handles everything but the tonemapping and bloom. Is there a reason why you don't want to change it?

[limpid sequoia]

because i tried to add more code to it and nothing in my game changes

[sonic canopy]

Hmm I thought you fixed that

[wise hinge]

[limpid sequoia]

wavy

[limpid sequoia]

i wanna code in hybrid rendering so i also can edit in RTXStub right?

[sonic canopy]

What do you mean by hybrid rendering?

[limpid sequoia]

i mean rasterization + ray tracing

[sonic canopy]

You can't really do that, rtx is fully ray traced, the only non ray traced things are particles, sign text and the like

[blazing whale]

Underwater

[limpid sequoia]

nahhh

[limpid sequoia]

i understand now! i have to learn and try it

only RTXStub

[limpid sequoia]

looks like RD sadar

[viscid skiff]

been stuck at this for hours mate
does anybody knows what causing this white shadows on water surface?

[blazing whale]

🗿

[wise hinge]

bug

[viscid skiff]

really?

man

[wise hinge]

yes, it's been like 2 years since that bug appeared lol

it's hella annoying

[viscid skiff]

man, I just wasted all of my hours for bug

[viscid skiff]

but what about this one sir, the water is not reflective

I don't know what I did it just became like that

like, even the vanilla without any pack is better for the reflections

[limpid sequoia]

🗿

[viscid skiff]

man idk why but when I shot it using my laptop it works? but not with my friend's? tho the reflections still not as what I wanted tho

I tried using lazurite in every way possible. This is the best I could do, can someone teach me how to use Lazurite in Termux - Github😭🙏

@limpid sequoia plizi 😭😭

[scarlet gust]

Most phones have RT cores atp btw.

They probably created a translation layer from DX12 to Vulkan or Metal.

[half nacelle]

Or they make RT with software

Bcs the cellphone of @severe grove don't have RT Cores i think

[scarlet gust]

What phone does @severe grove have?

[half nacelle]

I don't remember rn

I'm gonna see
