Graphics Showcases

[split plover]

It's like when smooth lighting is off
But it's on

[wintry lodge]

im honesetly shocked that the LPV works with flipbooks. i didnt think it would but its so neat tbh. looks clean too

it honestly just looks so cool

[maiden grove]

Huh this is weird

[wintry lodge]

What it looks like to me is the shadow bias issue in Mali gpus is what's causing that

[wet slate]

this bug gotta go
I been having this bug for a while now and it makes screenshots bad

[maiden grove]

Can you try going to positive coordinates and see if lighting works there correctly?

[split plover]

It's mail gpu bug
Just i can wait for fix mail gpu bug by Mojang

I have the same bug in vanilla deferred

It's same bug in vanilla deferred

[ripe island]

is it prizma with BareBones?

looks lovely

could do it if i got a lot of money

the best rtx texturepack /j

[rancid zodiac]

it is 🖤

[rancid zodiac]

[ripe island]

sorry if i ping you, alwasy forgot to turn it off

[rancid zodiac]

how much we talking

[ripe island]

hehehe

[rancid zodiac]

[wintry lodge]

I started working on a barebones style edit of my own pack but that's not seeing a whole lot of development right now. I'm stepping back from pack dev for a few days to avoid burning myself out

More than a few days probably a week or 2 tbh

[civic basin]

Max gamma no fog

[rancid zodiac]

oh my

[mellow inlet]

i like my minecraft deep fried

[civic basin]

Low (not fully) vs Default gamma

[wintry lodge]

Lower gamma looks better tbh

The shadows just pop more

[lone nest]

Yeah

[maiden grove]

I kinda wish there was an option to choose to overwrite it with a resource pack. I get that it could be used as an accessibility feature, and is also probably necessary for potentially upcoming HDR display support, but altering visuals this much can also alter the author's intent for a graphics pack. Incorrectly configured gamma can look bad and create bad impression of a pack.

[lone nest]

Yeah

same response for 2 things

But I would love to have HDR support

[civic basin]

Yea. Wish we could set a default value.

[cedar stream]

Dumb question but what does hdr do again?

[lone nest]

make the game look better

Colors more accurate

HDR= High Dynamic Range

[wintry lodge]

I wish my monitor had better hdr

I’ve fine tuned sdr and I’ve literally noticed no difference on my monitor

[lone nest]

Same

I want one of those OLED monitors

[wintry lodge]

But if I wanted actual good hdr… I’d need to fork over like 800-probably 1000 for a monitor which at that point I’d rather just buy a 4070TIS

[lone nest]

True lmao

[wintry lodge]

Those are really good

Mine has an ips panel which is still really good

[lone nest]

Forgot what mine was 💀

VA monitor

Still supports hdr

[wintry lodge]

plagued pbr deferred cinematic preset. 4K ultra settings

some nighttime shots

i wish aces handled emissives better because the colors it gives are just... so good

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1215006221103272006/1248067012840915044/2024-06-05_20-07-26.mp4?ex=6662507b&is=6660fefb&hm=49839cee7fc474f863d68532f423a936ae1b5820f43eb13b570d16f6025897f0&

deferred in 4K is genuinely something amazing

[wet slate]

low gamma
this settings is kinda make gamma custom from color grading kinda useless
if the player is gonna change it anyway

[wet slate]

how do you have good water fog
mine just disappears

[wet slate]

i mean is this intended

[mellow inlet]

Lower gamma looks really nice imo, however I think it should be slightly brighter

It feels as if there is almost too much contrast

[civic basin]

I don't think I use much contrast in my color grading

The way it work for me is that it's a contrast slider.

Maybe

[vast sandal]

Dark but good

Default brightness

[wet slate]

yall see this glitch?

[wintry lodge]

My honest answer, I DONT KNOWN😭

[wet slate]

at least tell me this
if you fly below a certain level does the fog rays disappear

[wintry lodge]

Yes

[wet slate]

then fine I thought i was the only one having this issue
it seems to me that no matter what illuminance you have sun light stop at a certain blocks after the water

[wintry lodge]

Yeah water seems to be treated like a cave

Because the same thing happens with caves

Praying the water rework fixes this though

[wet slate]

I am stil waiting for ssr and sss

[cedar stream]

I just want wavy water tbh

[wintry lodge]

Another thing I should mention. The water fog ONLY looks this nice on my cinematic preset. Other than that it's super thick and doesn't look great

[lost rock]

look at the water

you did so well on it

looking waayy more better

[wintry lodge]

thank you!

[wintry lodge]

final moments

[cedar stream]

Me having no friends to play deferred with:

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cry-emoji-funny-emoji-why-gif-20325239

[wintry lodge]

Well to be fair this was YSS MC

[cedar stream]

☹️

Perhaps I should join yss mc

[wintry lodge]

Servers in intermission now. Season 4 will start at some point. Current play if I remember is around end of June

But yeah if you want an active server to play on it's a great option

[cedar stream]

Yss mc should have a celebration event when deferred releases

[civic basin]

I'm better off avoiding a toxic community. Sorry if it sounds rude, but I don't think I'll be capable to handle the mental capacity.

I'd rather hang out with you guys.

[civic basin]

That's really pretty.

[wintry lodge]

That's perfectly fair

[mellow inlet]

The YSS server is a very "interesting" place.

Unhinged

[civic basin]

I know I'm gonna be hated, or recieve hate for what I just said, but I had to say it. Sorry.

[wintry lodge]

subtle sun rays

[cedar stream]

Will you play deferred with me then ? 🥺

[wintry lodge]

increased reflectivity of packed ice. this looks nice

[rancid zodiac]

:doggysmurkW:

[wintry lodge]

cinematic preset rework completed. im happy with this

[left marten]

No hate from us, it's your decision and we respect it.

[left marten]

We on the staff team hold nothing against you at this point, nor does our community. Many of us use your deferred packs with our shaders. If you ever decide to join back we'll be greatly pleased.

[left marten]

holy moly

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-let-him-cook-cook-cooking-breaking-bad-gif-27522167

[mellow inlet]

That looks incredible

[rancid zodiac]

wait.. deferred???????

[ripe island]

no, your mom

[rancid zodiac]

oh, ok mommy

[ripe island]

no

i'm your dad

[rancid zodiac]

oh ok daddy

[ripe island]

🥲

[civic basin]

Some stuff from a marketplace map and Luminous Dreams.

[south lily]

Prizma

[wintry lodge]

reducing plastic look my pack suffered from. this is going to be a large retexture of a lot of mers and heightmaps. Greatly increased the roughness of dirt and made the heightmap more coarse. (grass side still uses old dirt for comparison)

[wintry lodge]

also changed leaf mer along with morning getting a more yellow lighting, it will change into a more white lighting as it gets closer to noon

[heavy blade]

wait, I thought it was imposable to use shaders with RenderDragon. how'd you do it?

[ripe island]

Not a shader

[ripe island]

Deferred rendering baby

[heavy blade]

what's that?

[maiden grove]

Also it's possible just very very difficult, you have to modify game files to install them

[heavy blade]

would it be possible to do this in a RP?

[maiden grove]

Only if you use a 3rd party shader loader dll mod like BetterRenderDragon

[heavy blade]

interesting, thank you!

[ripe island]

New graphics mode added to bedrock

[civic basin]

sounds like clickbait

[heavy blade]

how do you enable it?

[wintry lodge]

same way as you would rtx

with a deferred texture pack

[heavy blade]

Thanks, I'll look into it

[cedar stream]

Bedrocks official built in graphics update basically in response of removing shaders in simple terms

For all platforms

It’s in experimental

[heavy blade]

Sweet! so it'll mean that once it's in the base game, I'll be able to use a resource pack that utilizes it, and people could join and be able to download the RP like normal?

[cedar stream]

Yeah

And probably on the marketplace

Like rtx

[wintry lodge]

improved fog at early day

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

been making a ton of improvements and have more coming

[mellow inlet]

Man, I need to return to Cat RTX soon. I worked on it a bit earlier this week but I’ve been so focused on Obsidian that I didn’t really make too much progress.

Hopefully after I release the next beta I can give myself a little break from coding and just make textures

[placid willow]

Prizma deferred

[ripe island]

Omg this pack is great

I have to try it out

[placid willow]

Thank you

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/975677388933459978.webp?size=48

[pastel spruce]

custom world gen?

[placid willow]

No, just a random world

[civic basin]

Is your worldgen script Add-On available to download?

[pastel spruce]

well, its already outdated bc its using beta APIs, but there are just few changes

ya

[civic basin]

Mix of high illuminance, saturation and just saturation as part of an experiment. No PBR included on these screenshots.

[vast sandal]

Fake gi :v

[rancid zodiac]

:( i want GI so bad

also everyone likes bare bones

we need a pbr version of it for deferred

:doggysmurkW:

[mellow inlet]

I plan to give Obsidian support for deferred in the next month or so, so bare bones deferred isn’t too far away

[ripe island]

definitely

[ripe island]

but that would be generated pbr

and it wouldn't be identical to pbr from the trailers

[ripe island]

someone talented would have to do it

[left marten]

i dunno i think i know a few people that might have said talent

[rancid zodiac]

i wonder who that could be

[left marten]

[rancid zodiac]

it would be like the main deferred pack i would run

[civic basin]

Erm... so I have done something while messing around with some values? LOL!

[left marten]

Whoa

That's quite something

[wintry lodge]

fully redone texture and pbr for cherry logs, thoughts?

[left marten]

Hmm

[wintry lodge]

its better than before by a mile

reflection may be a lil too much

[left marten]

Yeah a rougher and less reflective look might be better for logs

[wintry lodge]

yeah my other logs are way rougher than this one

they have some reflection but only at a very specific angle on on a very specific part

this is the old cherry log for comparison.

[wet slate]

Better by two miles

[left marten]

Make that 3

[wintry lodge]

lmao. i took the complaints to heart lol

[left marten]

Yeah something similar to this would look better

[wintry lodge]

i just wanna fix my skill issues

[left marten]

That's great, you're improving at a rapid rate now

[wintry lodge]

cherry logs also dodged my last log texture redesign

so these were still using the old texture i made like 4-5 months ago

i think mangrove logs did as well

[civic basin]

This looks, honestly, really nice.

[wintry lodge]

uh oh

NO I CANT RECOVER IT

NO

im so dumb

[wet slate]

I watched a video about distant horizons mod and shaders
I really would like to see only light rays and the fog itself

[wet slate]

What did you do

Try to reverse the steps

[wintry lodge]

i wanna actually cry, i spent so much time on that texture

photoshop wont let me undo any further

i forgot that i wasnt working on the actual mer file and had a brain fart and just pressed CTRL-S thinking i had opened the mer file

and saved the mer to the base texture

[lone nest]

[wintry lodge]

now i gotta redo it

[wet slate]

You really fucked up

[wintry lodge]

yep

welp ig i can trace the heightmap to get the texture back

[wet slate]

Hold up do you have like a non height map mode and made the copy

[wintry lodge]

no

[wet slate]

Damn

[wintry lodge]

its whatever

[wet slate]

I would cry if that happened to me ngl
Thank God I open all the textures when working on a block

[wintry lodge]

i want to

this is a flaw of the way i do things

i was in autopilot mode

whatever i mostly fixed them. still not as good as what i had originally but its close enough

[cedar stream]

GIMME

Very beautiful

[wintry lodge]

old vs new birch. new birch is more similar to vanilla

[ripe island]

imo the base texture is a bit too simple

[wintry lodge]

yeah i can see that

[ripe island]

and therefore it looks not the best in shaded places like this

[wintry lodge]

oh yeah thats bad

i can fix that

the heightmap is also super simple

adding in some colors from the original texture will definitely help with this

i somehow confused the more yellow colored parts for grey

that looks much closer to how it should

[mellow inlet]

I’d probably do some extra stuff with the lighting files that deferred has because they are so highly configurable.

[ripe island]

it's not about height map, I meant that texture itself is not the best 🙈

just 4 colors

[mellow inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/dairy-queen-oreo-blizzard-ice-cream-dq-blizzard-gif-25802846

[ripe island]

YES

[mellow inlet]

lol

[ripe island]

looks like Oreo 16x16 and with posterize effect

[wintry lodge]

😭

The original birch is hard to match. I'm trying my best

[ripe island]

use more colors

blend it more

[wintry lodge]

The actual texture itself looks worse in game than it does in the editor 😭

[wintry lodge]

improving a ton of emissives as well. some now support some subtle bloom

[cedar stream]

If only I had someone to play deferred with ☹️

[wintry lodge]

what pack is that? is that my pack with the cinematic preset?

[knotty badge]

What is that music 😭

[wintry lodge]

if so i think youll like my newly reworked cinematic preset when i update

[cedar stream]

Mhm

[cedar stream]

Aether mod music

[wintry lodge]

for some reason i decided to give the portal a custom mer and heightmap

this took a while and is nowhere near perfect

but looks neat

made it more reflective. kinda looks cool tbh

[left marten]

too much detail ngl

atleast the portal (the thing inside the obby) should be pretty smooth

the obby is fine

[wintry lodge]

yeah i dont think im actually gonna implement this

or at least smooth out the reflection a bit

or is the heightmap

bloomy glowstone, while still preserving the details

perhaps could be too much though

this is better

[wintry lodge]

working on a small side project (no this will not be made public but im doing it for fun)

[silk ore]

Dear mojang, please fix the torchs

[wintry lodge]

its mostly just bad pbr on my part here tbh

[gaunt sorrel]

What's wrong with the torches here?

[silk ore]

https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-72446

[silk ore]

Also education torchs are broken and redstone but it’s probably intended

[wintry lodge]

classic textures + pbr goes kinda crazy

@cedar stream cant wait to see your take on this once you start working on it :D

[wintry lodge]

all this is missing is the legacy 4J Ui. I couldnt find a pack that restored that though

[cedar stream]

Is this classic textures rtx pack?

Cause I have that

[wintry lodge]

no i made this

at least all the pbr

[cedar stream]

Aw man

You think I could have those pbr textures?

🥺

[wintry lodge]

the pbr itself could probably be a bit better but these textures were a mess to work with

[wintry lodge]

maybe ill think about it

im still debating if i wanna do all of them or just leave it where its at

i also took to making the pbr effects much more subtle than in my normal pack

[ripe island]

Prizma Deferred

[left marten]

man that tonemap is amazing

[ripe island]

in general this pack is amazing

I wonder who made it

[left marten]

I wonder too

[ripe island]

probably someone very nice

[left marten]

definitely not rude, truly.

[cursive geyser]

bad

There’s nothing wrong with being nice to others

[ripe island]

what

[wintry lodge]

welp i noticed an issue where my default color grading wasnt functioning. ive now resolved that

[pure lagoon]

looks great!

[left marten]

[rancid zodiac]

kayla online

preview day confirmed?

:doggysmurkW:

[left marten]

[wet slate]

might be last preview before 1.21

[wintry lodge]

Ty!

[wintry lodge]

attmepting to mimic the look of the early xbox 360 days

high gamma slightly reduced saturation

[rancid zodiac]

everything is green too

[wintry lodge]

i think a warmer more yellow lighting color fits the old school vibe better as well

considering that was also the golden age of the "piss filter"

[rancid zodiac]

Minecraft Legacy Console Piss Edition: Deferred Remix

MCLCPEDR

[wintry lodge]

sunsets are gonna stay orange but everything else will be more yellow

[wintry lodge]

be honest. is this too much yellow?

i actually dont remember xbox 360 being super yellow

i do remember the gamma being blown out

[rancid zodiac]

maybe just a super teensy bit much

[wintry lodge]

added a little bit more blue. i think this works

[rancid zodiac]

oh ok i like that

[wintry lodge]

im now gonna try to get the sky colors to match

or at least be close enough

[rancid zodiac]

i believe

[wintry lodge]

i found a classic 4J UI pack but the changes to ui with deferred causes it to crash

[silk ore]

Will you make a reddit post ?

[wintry lodge]

probably not

im not active there

might make a twitter post though

[warm vapor]

Where is ajabrams

[wintry lodge]

ahhhhhhhhhhh

too bad the game crashes while trying to make a world with the UI pack enabled

sunset

its as close to the old school sunset as i can get

with default sun angle

classic sunrise or my custom sunrise?

actually i can just make these subpack options

[silk ore]

Second better

[cedar stream]

Aw man that’s what I want my pack to look like

[cedar stream]

Yeah that didn’t happen until recently

[wintry lodge]

Ah

i think nighttime colors are fine

[pure lagoon]

Early Xbox 360 and PS3 games were always super heavy with Bloom. That's how I remember that generation, personally. But I also think you've nailed the lower saturation that was also big back then.

[wintry lodge]

I also remember bloom being a really strong aspect back then. I'm definitely gonna experiment with higher emissivity to see how higher bloom looks

[mellow inlet]

Obsidian with Normalmaps

[rancid zodiac]

woah hey what

is that

deferred?

and BARE BONES?

:doggysmurkW:

[rancid zodiac]

@ripe island look

[wintry lodge]

It's RTX

But it's also using a pbr generator

[mellow inlet]

rtx

[rancid zodiac]

aw man

i wish this phone could put its RT cores to use in mc

[civic basin]

Some random pictures I took while tweaking my saturation-thingy preset. Not yet where I want it, but looks cool I think.

[silk ore]

||You don’t think, it’s cool||

Btw everyone here want to make a better deferred but nobody tried to make the ugliest preset possible

[mellow inlet]

that’s an easy challenge

[mellow inlet]

Something about the cherry biome looks off to me, but everything else you are showing looks amazing

[rancid zodiac]

having the upscaler off gives a different vibe

ig i put off the artifacting too much

[wet slate]

i am very proud of this pic

[wintry lodge]

no fog here just pbr, sky and color grading

with fog

i dont happen to like how the fog covers up the sky like that though

ill have to make some adjustments

much better

[junior warren]

i'm sorry to bother you guys like this. but is there anyone who can show me how to enable deferred rendering.

[wintry lodge]

first youll need to be on minecraft preview. then you'll need a deferred texture pack

[junior warren]

or lead me in the right direction 🙂

[wintry lodge]

afterwards you just have to enable the render dragon features for creators experimental toggle

[junior warren]

how do i find that? i looked for it and i couldn't find it.

[junior warren]

this is the buttom of my settings. i remeber i once saw the experiments feature but i don't remeber where

oooh when you create a world?

[wintry lodge]

yea

[junior warren]

aaay sick

thank you man

[wintry lodge]

no problem

[junior warren]

how about the texture pack / mod. i couldn't find it on the marketplace

[wintry lodge]

there are none in the marketplace

[junior warren]

do i need to download it on the web like the old days

[wintry lodge]

youd have to take a look at mcpedl. try prizma deferred or plagued pbr deferred. these are my top picks

[junior warren]

thank you i think i'll try prizma deferred.

is it better then the smokeystack one?

[wintry lodge]

all up to personal preference tbh

[junior warren]

aah fair hah

[wintry lodge]

working on getting the sky colors as close to classic as possible. theres some issues with the horizon at noon and im trying to outline exactly where that issue is

[junior warren]

what you working on?

[wintry lodge]

current name is legacy pbr. the goal of it is to mimic old school console minecraft.

but yk with better graphics

[junior warren]

oh nostalgia

[cedar stream]

You made it look better than mine 😔

[junior warren]

looking forward to see what you come up with 🙂

[junior warren]

okay that looks amazing 😮

the prizma dosen't work on my version or am i wrong?

[wintry lodge]

it will

[junior warren]

it will work or will look amazing haha?

[wintry lodge]

it will work

[junior warren]

1.20.12 version or?

[wintry lodge]

the versions listed there dont really matter

[junior warren]

oh god it said supported versions.. never mind i'm dumb

[wintry lodge]

id say caves are coming along nicely

[civic basin]

Some small logs. Oak looks bad but eh, it's a picture ^^

[pure lagoon]

Love the warmth!

[cedar stream]

Nostalgia pbr progress

[wintry lodge]

Let's go

[wet slate]

yo is that a white hole?

[cedar stream]

No it’s round sun

[wet slate]

lol ikk

[cedar stream]

Actually that wasn’t intended

But I kept it

[wintry lodge]

It's interesting for sure. I would at least though look into smoothing out the horizon line

[wet slate]

i tried to do this effect
but was scrapped due to the reflection bug
which they still haven't fixed

[silk creek]

I've always wanted to code up the shader math for that Interstellar type of black hole. Maybe some day.

[wintry lodge]

that would be so cool

[wet slate]

well someone did this with imgs so

[wintry lodge]

png moment

[wet slate]

he's doing animation now and is experiencing pain

[vast sandal]

Deferred in 1.21 official

[wintry lodge]

hmmmmm something about that copper..... looks a little... different

[civic basin]

I wonder.

[silk creek]

But I wanna learn the maths. Graphics programming is a great way to learn physics. 😉

[wet slate]

this is by @serene dagger

[wintry lodge]

those sky boxes are insane

[civic basin]

Isn't there some shader on shadertoy that has a blackhole?

Think there was one

[wintry lodge]

yeah... uhhh shader community doesnt like it though

[civic basin]

Yea, heard the story.

[wintry lodge]

but yes there is one

[civic basin]

This looks really cool

[wet slate]

absolutely, I also tried to learn shaders and learned math. Maybe some day I will have time for that again.

[silk creek]

We're working on supporting sky boxes in Deferred FWIW

[civic basin]

Curious

[wet slate]

Curious about that
I really wanna know how the atmospherics.json affect sky boxes

[silk creek]

Yeah, it'll have its quirks, but we think it'll be a good balance for creativity.

[wintry lodge]

i have faith

[civic basin]

Here's something I got on accident when tweaking some.. numbers, lol.

[cedar stream]

Hi aaja

[wet slate]

quirks??
we about to go crazy experimenting with quirks

[silk creek]

That's our hope 🙏

[wintry lodge]

i love experimenting and tinkering a bunch

[cedar stream]

Yay

[wet slate]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-20791424

[cedar stream]

I’m so excited

[wintry lodge]

i spent like all day yesterday recreating the old minecraft skies in deferred

took a lot of tinkering

and still needs more work

[civic basin]

Never knew deferred did not support skyboxes. Now I know!

[cedar stream]

Cubemaps can bring custom clouds to deferred

[wet slate]

so does that mean sample packs will have cube map textures now?

[cedar stream]

Dang it I wanted to ask aajabrams a question and I forgot it

[vast sandal]

but I like the color of sunlight

[cedar stream]

It was a about a bug I think

[civic basin]

Me too! ^^ I toned it down a bit but it's still there :p

[cedar stream]

No wait now I remember

[wintry lodge]

copper shiny

[cedar stream]

Will wavy water be coming to deferred ? If so will it be customizable?

[wet slate]

yes

[cedar stream]

Everyone told me it was confirmed to be coming but I didn’t see any proof tbh

[silk creek]

and yes

[wet slate]

I am proof

[wintry lodge]

oh shoot

sick

[cedar stream]

Hopefully it won’t be like rtx water

The waves on rtx is barely visible

[wintry lodge]

i mean... you could techincally make rtx water in deferred rn

[silk creek]

Visual only, not physics accurate or collision accurate.

[wintry lodge]

it just used a normalmap

i think

[cedar stream]

Wha

[cedar stream]

That’s fine

[wintry lodge]

you just need to be very VERY skilled with making normals

[civic basin]

I know the water they're working on will look awesome.

[cedar stream]

Hopefully

I want to be able to see the waves unlike rtx

[wet slate]

ik devs are working on this features and stuff
what fascinates me is how are we gonna be able to customize this
for wavy water do you have to provide discplacement and normal maps or
do you have a json that does math to make different waves

[cedar stream]

From what I’ve seen on videos rtx water is just flat

[wintry lodge]

guys how do we feel about this classic style copper ore?

[cedar stream]

Unless you get REALLY close to it

[wintry lodge]

yeah, normalmap moment

[cedar stream]

Hopefully same mistake don’t happen with deferred water

But I don’t think it will

[wintry lodge]

the rtx water wouldve looked better if the normal range wasnt so short

for some reason it was really short

deferred has near infinite range though

[wet slate]

good but i believe heightmap is a bit high

[cedar stream]

Good

Then it will look amazing

[wintry lodge]

if this were rtx you wouldnt see the normalmap on the water

[cedar stream]

Cause I will be able to see the waves in long distances

However

I’m wondering if wavy water will be a toggle in the graphics settings

Or an option to enable in packs

[civic basin]

Doubt

[wet slate]

this ofc

[cedar stream]

Aw man

Then I’d have to wait for you guys to update your packs

To test it

[silk creek]

I like it a lot. There looks to be specular detail in the different hues of ore, and the use of heightmaps really makes it pop.

[wet slate]

bro the moment wavy water comes out my update is gonna come out in 2 hours

[cedar stream]

I don’t even know where to find your updated packs

[wet slate]

oh lmao

[wet slate]

you are in my server tho?

[cedar stream]

Ye

[wet slate]

https://ptb.discord.com/channels/1150753663057395783/1153216838071762945

[cedar stream]

Ah

[wet slate]

every update and log is there

[wintry lodge]

yeah. the mer map utilizes very drastic changes in roughness as well as metalness. this was something i did with regular copper on my other pack. the results were pretty interesting

[cedar stream]

When cubemap support comes imma make custom clouds

Or no

I can just download any cubemap texture pack and play it with any pbr pack

[wet slate]

custom fog blobs would be cool lol

[cedar stream]

I love blobs

[wintry lodge]

i made my pack rt compatible for a second and.. my water is rough

looks so weird

[cedar stream]

Let’s see it

[wintry lodge]

im pretty sure its due to the water opacity

[cedar stream]

Dang it the pic isn’t loading

[wintry lodge]

it just looks dumb

[cedar stream]

Well anyway I can’t wait to see these new water effects come out

[mellow inlet]

not the milky water

[wintry lodge]

the rough milky water

not actualyl sure why its like the though

the opacity is fine

[wet slate]

reduce the rough 🗿

[wintry lodge]

fixed ti

it was opacity

but now with what i was talking about before. the normal map range on the water is super SUPER short

[wet slate]

i tried to get a depth in water normals but it isn't just doable for me

[wintry lodge]

i tried as well and ive settled with what i have. looks fine enough

[wet slate]

is it increased in brtx?

mine looks so flat

[wintry lodge]

brtx adds in proper physics based waves i believe

[wet slate]

oh okay

[wintry lodge]

or some form of parralax waves

which i think are the same thing

[wintry lodge]

i mean the actual normal itself looks a lot better than mine

still love this feature a ton. its so small but awesome

[wet slate]

well yeah the normal ain't even mine
it was done by some professional on the internet
i just cut it up and made it move

[wintry lodge]

ah i see

what did i do...

[wet slate]

💀 bro got infected with covide-25

[wintry lodge]

my water is just gone

[wet slate]

transparency/opacity

[wintry lodge]

yep that was the problem

forgot that anything below like 55% opacity just dissappears

[wet slate]

yeah why does that happen

[wintry lodge]

i kinda cooked on this MER though ngl.

i drew it out by hand

[wet slate]

cooked so good you gordon ramsy now

[wintry lodge]

welp brb. gonna do the rest of the ores

[cedar stream]

What is that

[wet slate]

water normals

[cedar stream]

In deferred??

[wet slate]

yeah

[cedar stream]

I want it

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-i-need-it-gif-14006288

[wintry lodge]

you almost cant tell this is meant to be coal lmao

[wet slate]

i thought it was for jungle log 💀

[wintry lodge]

i cant lie the old ores were honestly so good

[cedar stream]

https://tenor.com/view/gimme-gif-5731137

[wintry lodge]

im not a new textures hater btw. I love the post 1.14 textures

[wintry lodge]

but some of the old ones just hit different

[cedar stream]

So I just put that json in textures folder?

[wet slate]

yeah in the blocks folder

[wintry lodge]

oh no... the normal became heightmap

not quite sure why that happened

[wintry lodge]

B L O O M

(this is intentional)

pov its 2013 and everyone found their new favorite toy bloom

[civic basin]

Modified Taiga from Better on Bedrock with adjusted colormaps and some stuff to color grading

[left marten]

ooh, that 3rd screenshot is amazing

[wintry lodge]

agreed

nothing special just some pbr

[civic basin]

Yea! ^^ The other ones are kinda cool too, but I also like that one :p

[left marten]

[lost rock]

@cedar stream

you're gonna love this

[cedar stream]

Already seen it

[lost rock]

Classic texture with pbr

[lost rock]

ok

[left marten]

[south lily]

😱😱

[cedar stream]

And he gave me the pbr textures for my pack

[left marten]

Nice

[lost rock]

teamwork

[wintry lodge]

yeah i provided some as a starting point

im not giving everything that im working on though. thats pretty much it

[civic basin]

Cursed screenshots from me while I mess around because it's fun! (500 shadow distance in this pic and super bright sunset for some reason)

[gaunt sorrel]

What's with the red band?

[civic basin]

No idea

[left marten]

Whoa

[civic basin]

Messing around is so much fun ^^

[cedar stream]

Did you ever make noon look better?

[left marten]

That's cool for screenshots

[civic basin]

Nothing you can do about the fog absorbing light at noon.

Prizma Deferred

[rancid zodiac]

is this prizma 1.2.14 cooking up :doggysmurkW:

[ripe island]

it's 1.2.13

[rancid zodiac]

oh ok

[rancid zodiac]

only thing that beats this is prizma deferred heightmaps

and the only thing that beats that is deferred bare bones pbr

but that doesnt exist so

[civic basin]

A sunset in Luminous Dreams.

[rancid zodiac]

very luminous

[cedar stream]

Why is deferred sun much smaller than normal graphics sun

[wintry lodge]

Weird

[mellow inlet]

Obsidian Normal Map testing with Faithful64

(Left: With Blurring) (Right: No Blurring)

[wintry lodge]

Woah

[lone nest]

wow

[wintry lodge]

super high contrast

stupid amounts of contrast

[rancid zodiac]

oh my

[wintry lodge]

contrast can be very funky and i love it

[wet slate]

parallel shadow worlds type shit

[wintry lodge]

fr

negative values are so funny

[wet slate]

would be hell cool for horror maps
if color grading were change able

[wintry lodge]

super bright moon and negative sun

really bright moon

[wet slate]

bro sky is gone

[wintry lodge]

negative glare shape

[wet slate]

so like is the reflect bug gone if you do that?

[wintry lodge]

nope

it makes reflections horrible actually

[wet slate]

I can't figure out what makes that bug goes away

[wintry lodge]

sky reflections are on drugs here

[wet slate]

what in the xanax is this

[wintry lodge]

its insane

back to normal

slgihtly updated sunrise. this honestly looks so good

[wet slate]

the terrain is insane

[wintry lodge]

oh yeah. this is such a cool looking spot

[wet slate]

this looks like the sunset now

[wintry lodge]

this is as close to the original minecraft sunrise as i think its gonna get now

[wintry lodge]

improved the skies further

[left marten]

Ooh that looks nice

[wintry lodge]

honestly im impressed wit hthe fact i was able to make the water color almost identical to vanilla

like it actually looks good lol

[silk ore]

[cedar stream]

nice

[rancid zodiac]

if i could play deferred on ps5 i’d start looking for preview realms to join ngl

ready to play mc again

[cedar stream]

There’s not many tbh

Unless you know where to find them and I don’t

If you do plz tell me some

So I don’t have to play deferred alone

[wintry lodge]

this screenshot cost me almost all 12 gigs of vram (future city 5.2 + YSS RD + 96RD + 16x MSAA + 1440p)

23 gigs of regular ram being used, 10 gigs of vram, and a whopping 17fps

safe to say my pc was dying

[knotty badge]

All that just to look basic 😭

[wintry lodge]

well RD shaders arent very complex. they work on very limited settings

think of these like the old HAL engine shaders

[knotty badge]

Yeah i know 🥲

[left marten]

[south lily]

Prizma

[rancid zodiac]

prizma in 4k40 no way

well in native 4k or upscaled

[south lily]

Native

Upscaling only adds 5-10 fps

Bros cooking

[grizzled wagon]

💀 Bro my internets so bad I cant tell if the correct images got sent or not lol they not loading

[cedar stream]

May I suggest you need to make the sky colors like sdgp?

Like purple and orange

At sunset

Like this

[wintry lodge]

made some rather large improvements to the sky. (used java 1.7 for more accuracy)

definitely some areas this can be cleaned up

[wintry lodge]

with sun shadows disabled cuz im funny like that

[left marten]

Ooh that lava texture

Nostalgic

[wintry lodge]

fr. since i opted to make a manual mer for it rather than just use a flat value, it took awhile. the results though are fantastic imo.

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

this is how it looks with a flat mer... just sad

hm, i can make some improvements for sure

[ripe island]

like this?

[wet slate]

i wanna do this but stitch sky model realy doesn't look good for deferred
also the mie_strength isn't reflected in the water
so reflection update i suppose?

[south lily]

It’s been 6 months since they added ssr to the renderer folder

[ripe island]

(I know it's not identical, but similar and with a bit of work I could achieve the same effect)

[wet slate]

it's good

but what i was saying about was 3 line
it happens on the opposite side which is the moon
which is very annoying but have to deal with if you don't want black spot

[ripe island]

i hope they will fix sky being dark on one side of the sky

[wet slate]

they can't but you can tho

[south lily]

The sky definitely needs to be improved

[wet slate]

i mean they would need a better sky model like veka said

[cedar stream]

Yes

[south lily]

Same goes for bloom

It looks mid compared to Java shaders or sdgp

[ripe island]

how

[ripe island]

but a sky that is dark on one side is unacceptable

[ripe island]

i like deferred bloom

looks bad but good at the same time

[south lily]

I don’t like it it’s too intensive

[ripe island]

you have bloom slider in settings

[south lily]

Yes I know I set it to 30%

Also would be nice if they did let us play at resolution lower than 4k on series consoles

But it’s probably not happening

We are chained to 4k

[wintry lodge]

You'd have to reduce sun angle to no higher than +15 or -15, and during the day make the moon as bright as the sun

[ripe island]

I did that

It doesn't fix it

It just make it slightly less visible

[wintry lodge]

I see

[wet slate]

Use absolute 0 / no change in sun angles if you want no darkness even just a little
Make the moon brightness in the sunrise to sunset like of sun 90% to 100% brightness
90% worked really well for me

[ripe island]

0 sun angles doesnt make darkness go

it's still there but just a little less visible

from my tests for me 20/15 is fine

[wet slate]

What do you mean by a little less visible send me a ss

[left marten]

90° sun angle pls

[wintry lodge]

ooh its so cursed

the sun and moon dont move and are just locked into one area

A 180 degree sun angle reverses the sun and moon. so interesting

night time but sun is up lmao

fog also doesnt work

[wintry lodge]

redrew cherry logs in the old school style

alot of the old logs were recolors of eachother so i felt jungle logs fit perfectly here

i also took some creative liberties and added in some colors that werent present in the vanilla color palette to make the texture more "noisy"as well

[wintry lodge]

original styled cherry leaves

[silk ore]

2nd pic, solar eclipse

[wintry lodge]

real

unsure of what i wanna do with mangrove leaves

[wintry lodge]

tinted glass in the old artstyle

[civic basin]

River and Taiga - Luminous Dreams x Better on Bedrock

[mellow inlet]

I love the color

[knotty badge]

Yeah that looks really beautiful

Can't wait until they let you update the water

Especially the fog fits really well

[wintry lodge]

tinkered with emissivity and sped up the animation by 5 ticks. looks crazy

[grizzled wagon]

So peaceful, so pretty

[vast sandal]

Vanilla style

[rancid zodiac]

ugh i need minecraft like this

[wintry lodge]

its so gorgeous. this is an experimental build of betterRTX, completely redone pathtracing, hybrid rt vol fog and raster fog, hyper realistic parralax waves. improved water caustics. super insane

[rancid zodiac]

definitive way to play mc imo

[wintry lodge]

for sure

cant wait to see where deferred goes, especially with the upcoming water updates

[cedar stream]

i wish we could have that water in deferred

hopefully the waves will be visible in long distances in deferred when they add wavy water

unlike normal rtx

[wintry lodge]

hopefully

i dont think the actual underwater will looks as insane as that (considering it uses insanely high quality path tracing) but i can only hope for the best

[civic basin]

That might be possible? Unsure how they will handle normals and such for the water we're getting. I had a thought about SSR and I don't think it'll have a max distance, but I could be wrong since I never fully made my own SSR shader in Godot.

[left marten]

It'll likely switch to lower quality LODs the farther the water is from the player, its pretty indistinguishable if you aren't pixel peeping

All in the name of optimization ofc

Cuz that is very much needed in the current state of deferred

[cedar stream]

I just want to be able to see it from a long distance unlike rtx where you have to get real close to the water to see the waves

[left marten]

Hmm, I guess we'll find out when it releases

[wintry lodge]

old vs new polished blackstone pbr (left is old. right is new)

the left image also uses an older version of the pack so theres also just overall pack quality improvements here as well

[carmine rune]

What is the best looking deferred shaders

[wintry lodge]

One of the many Better On Bedrock biomes, with BetterRTX

[carmine rune]

I played on xbox series s and I cant turn on rtx

[wintry lodge]

its not supported thats why

rtx is a windows pc only thing

[split plover]

@wintry lodge can i have this fog on deferred or it's only for rtx?

[wintry lodge]

Not possible on deferred

You can have under water sun rays with deferred but it will not look as good

They also won't move around like they do in that video

[lost rock]

the movement happens with the waves

[wintry lodge]

There's also hybrid raytraced fog in there

Which uhhh deferred doesn't have

[wintry lodge]

Yeah and since deferred won't have physics based waves,. This probably won't happen

[lost rock]

ok

[wintry lodge]

doing a deferred config edit... this just looks insane

[cedar stream]

Looks like sdgp

[wintry lodge]

no fog sunrise

honestly one of the rare no fog screenshots that doesnt look half bad

[knotty badge]

Howwww

[wet slate]

SSS Supremacy

[knotty badge]

Lmao damn

[gaunt sorrel]

Mmm jello

[wet slate]

it's ice it's ice it's ice it's ice it's ice it's ice it's ice it's ice it's ice

[rancid zodiac]

vanilla ice

[gaunt sorrel]

I'm gonna eat it 🙂

[rancid zodiac]

new skyboxes guys

show us what you got cooking in the past 5 minutes

[cedar stream]

I’ll be the first to post

[rancid zodiac]

eddy gonna have the best skybox

simply because he might have the only one out there

[cedar stream]

Yes

I found a double layer cloud cubemap

[rancid zodiac]

:doggysmurkW:

[cedar stream]

Pack

[rancid zodiac]

hmmmm

[cedar stream]

Imma recreate sdgp

[rancid zodiac]

lettuce sea

[wintry lodge]

I will have one but I do stuff from scratch I don't wanna take from somewhere else

So it'll take me quite a while to probably get one out

Plus I need to research how to make a skybox and such

[rancid zodiac]

cook

thats all ill say

[wintry lodge]

I'm also not sure what the limits are too. Honestly I only want a custom sky for nighttime

[rancid zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/auguste-gusteau-dylan-rondan-dean-christo-gif-25737281

[left marten]

Wuh

[cedar stream]

Cubemaps now support deferred

[left marten]

What just came out for the new preview?

[cedar stream]

Which means

CUSTOM CLOUDS

[left marten]

Ah nice

[rancid zodiac]

so do you plan to deviate from the current skies very much

[left marten]

Not exactly but yea

[cedar stream]

Well

Double layer clouds

[left marten]

It depends if it is still just the regular images in normal RD

[wintry lodge]

Not really just add onto it

Nights sky is just bland

If animated cube maps are possible I might try an aurora or nebula style thing

[rancid zodiac]

that could be cool

[left marten]

They mentioned GI in the change logs??

Wuh

[rancid zodiac]

that would make me wanna settle in a seed with 10,000 blocks of winter biomes

[gaunt sorrel]

Probably a mistake

[wintry lodge]

Huh? Where

[rancid zodiac]

in the editor portion

[left marten]

I'm assuming so

[left marten]

Oh

Welp

GI is coming confirmed

[lone nest]

time to dig into the files

[left marten]

[cedar stream]

What is that again?

[lone nest]

Global illumination

[rancid zodiac]

it could be cool to look at

even if we cant play it rn

[rancid zodiac]

at least thats how i think editor mode GI will work idk

[left marten]

If deferred gets this I'm am not using YSS lmfao

[wintry lodge]

Not the greatest example

But

[left marten]

[lone nest]

Lmao same

[cedar stream]

What exactly am I supposed to look at here

[rancid zodiac]

so yk how like if you’re in a room

and its sunset

the sunset colors kinda ambiently light up the room

or whatever

[wintry lodge]

Ok do you see the puffs of blue light

[cedar stream]

Ah

[wintry lodge]

The glowy flower things are illuminating the fog

[maiden grove]

I wonder which technique they'd use

Maybe something screen space, or some kind of lpv

[left marten]

Lpv will make my day

SSGI would be sick too

Another small L for Android devices.

[wintry lodge]

Lpv stands for light propagation volume right?

[maiden grove]

yes

[left marten]

[wintry lodge]

Oh wait this is a good example of gi

[left marten]

Sure is

Java tho

[wintry lodge]

Yeah but it gets the idea across

[left marten]

Yeah

[wintry lodge]

I believe bliss uses a form of LPV

[rancid zodiac]

mmm indirect light

[cedar stream]

The update is done!!!

[left marten]

?

[wintry lodge]

it also has ssgi but that doesn't work with the floodfill

[civic basin]

Cubemap

[left marten]

[left marten]

Whoa

[wintry lodge]

Woah what

[rancid zodiac]

wuhhhhhh

[left marten]

Hold the phone

[civic basin]

I rushed it so it's not perfect

[left marten]

Lemme cook

[maiden grove]

Yeah it looks like it. It's possible that it also was exactly the same technique that I implemented

[wintry lodge]

Now this... looks like a luminous dream

[gaunt sorrel]

Veka made something similar though

[wintry lodge]

Hehe

[left marten]

True

[civic basin]

Eh, night

[left marten]

Grabbing the new beta rq

[rancid zodiac]

sunny night

[wintry lodge]

My ipads download is just stuck

Is it available on windows

[maiden grove]

Someone should try using HDR image as cubemap

[cedar stream]

OH MY GOODNESS

[cedar stream]

This looks good

[wintry lodge]

how do you even put it into the game
