GITS 3.0

[gleaming crow]

GITS has been updated. I've added another color profile "KURIA", and have finally taken the time to break the LM into modular parts. You can find potato lighting in the misc sections, but the primary ENV and AIO will carry my other VFX mods. Metro Glass will be added later.

damn

well done

[limber nymph]

Holy moly. This is a beautiful surprise. Thank you for your effort, sir

[frigid elk]

A lot of work went into this. Its top shelve stuff man. Congrats on the update. I am loving Fuiji so far the best. Although the noise in game is gone, which I would love back (i can add it back though wolvenkit). Any way I can show my apreciation though a donation thats not linked with nexus or paypal? Preferable direct bank transfer. Although privacy might be an issue for that. LMK please I insist. *Anoniem1 on nexus

[gleaming crow]

I'll consider it. Sorry about the film grain. I would like to have kept it myself, but some things still don't work in 2077 and many of the photomode effects are among them. Only solution was to kill it entirely

pls be sure to update - error on my part. don't mod behind the wheel

[gleaming crow]

GITS 3.1 underway - focused more on fixing CDPR's mess and general improvements

[elfin oxide]

How did you create your overcast weather, where it’s brighter than the original which created a very realistic look? I heard apparently that it can be created using a massive softbox

@gleaming crow

[gleaming crow]

thoughtfully adjusting the cloud cover and atmosphere settings

[gleaming crow]

Perhaps 3.5 will be more fitting as I finally managed to fix a bug with city street lighting

[gleaming crow]

To further illustrate the importance...

[chrome crown]

damn well done

[gleaming crow]

Real lights for fast travels points, too

[dawn trout]

Oh, damn! I knew something was off with those but it never clicked. That looks amazing.

[gleaming crow]

WHO WOULD WIN???

A multi-billion dollar dev studio

Or a random internet guy

Both are with path tracing btw

[dawn trout]

Will these fixes also be available as a standalone mod? 🙂

[elfin oxide]

please?

[gleaming crow]

hmmmm.... hmmmm

hmmmm

[dawn trout]

Where is that light even coming from? 😄

[gleaming crow]

nowhere... this is CDPR's take on hero lighting

It's always active too, you can go there at anypoint at night and see it 😄

[dawn trout]

It's a perfect way to break immersion. Gotta love it.

[gleaming crow]

I'm working on an optional to null quest forced weather. One is mandatory - the GIM. forces sunny weather no matter what - before/after quest has even been started/concluded. GITS already nulls some of the streaming sector blunders, but reLIGHT will do more

[elfin oxide]

GITS 5.0

Leaked

Don’t delete message BB88

[gleaming crow]

I wish, but 3.X will be it

[elfin oxide]

In another universe perhaps

[gleaming crow]

reLIGHT is the final goal I had for this game. GITS will follow along it's updates but I think for features it will be complete soon

[dawn trout]

Does reLIGHT happen to fix vegetation shadows? 😛

[gleaming crow]

still testing NPC RT fix

[elfin oxide]

What’s the advantages of having HDR? Can’t we just use like reshade or sumthin?

[gleaming crow]

The issue there, if I'm right, is not going to be easy to fix because nulling lower LODs means the items will vanish at distance because of how LOD streaming works post 1.5. I saw your wind mod name change - did it correct that?

[dawn trout]

It's not a fix. Just happens to hide the issue.

[gleaming crow]

more color depth and more precise contrast

[dawn trout]

That's why I was hoping you could actually fix it.

[elfin oxide]

Ignore this message but, cyanide, you’re eligible for the nexus mod author role, lucky

[gleaming crow]

I'll look at it but until they produce tools to properly deal with LOD I think it will be bad news. RTDEBRIS can usually get away with this because the distance LOD 0 streams in and the objects being small. trees streaming in from nothing will be hard to miss

[gleaming crow]

It's more than CDPR could muster, give yourself credit

[dawn trout]

I found that they disappeared when I set speedTreeWind to null but as soon as I added a value of 0, they were visible. Not sure how things work with LOD since I've only ever looked into that one time.

[gleaming crow]

ye. Maybe I'm wrong though, restore hair shadows hasn't show me a bunch of bald people running around, and it zeroes out LOD 1/2 - which in turn also fixes the bad shadowing on hair

so perhaps nulling the lod on the trees won't look terrible

You just have to delete those LODs from the mesh file

I mean, if you want to see if you can have wind and proper shadowing

no wind fixes it already and solves another issue that bothered plenty of people

[dawn trout]

I could give it a go. 😅 Just wasn't sure how LODs were related to shadows. I'm very inexperienced in that area.

[gleaming crow]

the meshes are clipping.

1. LOD are bulkier because they're meant to visually register with the player at a distance, 2. possibly the animations are out of sync

[dawn trout]

Oh I see! They're all there at any point but they switch as you move closer/further? (Or am I still out to lunch?)

[gleaming crow]

for some reason trees and some NPC lower LOD aren't being dropped from the gbuffer so they're rendered with those shadows because the API reads that

[gleaming crow]

yes

[dawn trout]

Although, would't removing wind still have the bulkier LODs sticking through?

[gleaming crow]

depends on the LOD and area. I mean bulkier in principle, sometimes low LOD can even be a "billboard" - flat object. So if the wind is working around the issue, then the problem is that lower LOD either does not have the wind shader or it's out of sync

LOD in 2077 are actually pretty good so, bulkier only applies to proxy mesh - super low LOD. like PS4 bug LOD 😄

[dawn trout]

https://tenor.com/bbHQ5.gif

[gleaming crow]

things like Quadra 66, caliburn, almost all 6th street goons - that's LOD. working on that right now but not the priority atm.

[gleaming crow]

gtg, hopefully I'll have time to check out Wind Begone

😅 much to do

[dawn trout]

See yah!

[gleaming crow]

Forgot to mention - the above is an assumption based on how everything else behaves. Since wind is involved it could even be that LOD 0 is stationary in the gbuffer. I think I mentioned that before on Nexus, just wanted to make sure everything is covered

[dawn trout]

If they really wanted Jackie to be that lit up, couldn't they just make the dash of the car brighter? 😕

[gleaming crow]

I guess. Left is reLIGHT, right is vanilla tho

that's because the light from outside the vehicle isn't masked out how it is in vanilla

these are from a good friend's recording for an upcoming video

[dawn trout]

Ah, I assumed darker meant no "hero lighting" but you bamboozled me! I guess it depends on the surroundings but it looked like there was a glow coming from nowhere in the first image. 😅

The light on Jackie's jacket (and the cars interior) in the left on the second set of images looks a lot better though. Seems like there are some lights just outside his window. It's really hard to compare accurately without entirely identical shots, though.

[gleaming crow]

I got ya. Nah, that's a barricade light. Thing is they are identical, that's just how fogged, darkwashed, and vignetted the basegame is. Can't see a damn thing

[elfin oxide]

does the game always add artificial lighting?

[chrome crown]

omg its cyanide and bababooey

love u2

[gleaming crow]

The issue isn't the artificial lights themselves but that some infringe on the very immersion they're trying to create. Most are placed to create an enhanced sense of GI - think of ambient skylight filling a room from an open door. These lights sample the skylight color group, but there are a few problems with this

1. I don't understand yet how to independently control the lights - no visible controls

2. Some are very overblown, they sample the sky but multiply it's value to a degree it's obviously a fake light - this is even worse with GITS because of the changes made to create (mostly) more natural lighting and atmosphere

3. Some aren't even placed correctly. One problematic setting in the badlands has these pointing outward... for a building with virtually no power and thus no interior lighting.

The issue with Meyers in the Skybridge scene isn't largely due to fake lighting - though it does play it's part, the issue is dogshit setting for ray trace shadow rendering.

Human negligence.

There are several I will allow to stay because they work well - and when they work well the results are fantastic. I hope they do this again... just don't screw it up next time.

[elfin oxide]

yeah, saw one with claire in the beast of me, had yellow light coiming out of no where

hope you release some fixes as stand alone mods

[placid haven]

i can't wait for this @dawn delta , fantastic work

• Fixed an stall where vanilla game runs out of RT acceleration structures
• Fixed crazy skin on some NPCs
• Disabled negative mip bias because I believe CDPR are doing this in-engine already in CP 2.1
• Re-enabled underwater screenspace rendering
• Fixed a stall streaming in new sectors when driving at high speed
• Enabled path tracing for hair so hair no longer has to rely on environment probes for its lighting
• Adjusted streaming threads
• Adjusted RTXDI / ReSTIRGI samples to better balance performance and quality for Fast / Full / High
• Slightly reduced PT edge (disocclusion) noise in most scenarios by adjusting sampling radii and variable rate shading
• Reduced SHARC frame blend bias for Fast to account for lower FPS and to reduce smearing
• Fixed some non-breaking typos
• Reduced bloom clamping to fit better with Ultra Fog

this version has been really good in testing (ty especially to @VelvetThundR). fixes so many random problems with PT, including that CDPR is mostly using NVidia's settings which are designed for higher real frame rates, so I've adjusted SHARC / ReSTIR settings to match CP's actual performance to help reduce smearing and disocclusion (edge) noise.

[gleaming crow]

b-bbear?

Carlos brought something to my attention. Some of the doors aren't casting light - well, they are actually but there's a channel volume blocking them from rendering. By the time I realized that I had already added fading diodes and I think that will give H10 more character.

[placid haven]

oops

[placid haven]

that's awesome

[frigid elk]

Is this an inventation to send more examples? I think I know 1 other, and might easily find a few more

[gleaming crow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/12715?tab=posts&BH=0

This guy took everything from GITS. I've about had it with this shit

[dawn trout]

I had a sneaking suspicion they were using something that wasn't theirs but, when I opened the archive I didn't see anything I recognized. Truly sad that people would completely rip off the hard work others put into their mods.

How do you report this? Reported, in case it helps. 🤷‍♂️

[gleaming crow]

thx. He stole everything. weather, weapons fx, vehicles, streaming sectors, etc

[dawn trout]

Not sure how he thought he could get away with that.

[woven zealot]

Well an update, the mod was taken down 👍

[dawn trout]

👍

[gleaming crow]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-edgerunners-cyberpunk-studio-trigger-netflix-cd-projekt-red-gif-25713013

[woven zealot]

How's the new Gits update coming along? Been looking forward to it since I saw those preview images

[elfin oxide]

That’s fucked up man, thank god it’s resolved

[gleaming crow]

Almost there lads, still working through it

before v after

[gleaming crow]

Bit of delay. Having to account for all of the 2.11 changes that have wrecked the mod and relaying my findings back to CDPR. Will they do anything aobut? I dunno...

[gleaming crow]

I got something that'll keep you wet for owaaas

[elfin oxide]

did you just add light sources to models that are supposed to have light sources

[dawn trout]

https://tenor.com/bfCvg.gif

[gleaming crow]

It's truly impressive just how badly they've broken path tracing since 2.0. This is gonna take a while...

[woven zealot]

@gleaming crow you think you might ever release your Perfect Rain and Less Perfect Rain as a seperate mod for when Gits isn't available? I found repacking Sosuine's Improved Rain in the latest Wkit resolves the performance issues but the fog flickering is insane lol I miss the gits rain

[gleaming crow]

Less Perfect Rain is separate; It's in the misc section. You don't need GITS for that :). Perfect Rain won't be separated from GITS though

[dawn trout]

Is that just in a specific sector? I don't recall things looking like that in my game. 😕

Is that actually PT?

[gleaming crow]

yep, this one area among a handful of others - like the train tower where you setup the basilisk heist with Panam. I remember this place being like this in RT hybrid last I played with it before overdrive released. And yes2 - this is with PT. I only play with PT. There is another one like this outside Dex's limo as well , which I have fixed already, so I should be able to fix this.

[dawn trout]

Just go into 03_night_city.streamingworld and check the box that says enableGlobalPT. That's the easiest way. ||/s||

[woven zealot]

I need to backup the misc files next time the Gits page is up XD

[placid haven]

other than looking "generally crap" here, what specifically are you referring to?

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-fire-house-burning-okay-gif-5263684

I feel like we need to recruit some people to help you on this. like divide up the map

[gleaming crow]

I appreciate the thought, but it's unnecessary; the most outstanding issues have been addressed. now I'm merely dotting the i

[elfin oxide]

one thing i dont really like about GITS is the cloud weather cutting off buildings

[dawn trout]

They're called skyscrapers for a reason. 😉

[elfin oxide]

wasntexpecting the clouds to be that loow tho

[dawn trout]

It's a common thing to see.

[elfin oxide]

man i was just gonna send the same exact image

personal preference ig

[true pivot]

That's one of my favorite things about gits

[woven zealot]

I just hope gits shows back up on Nexus soon lol

[frigid elk]

we call them cloud scratchers in dutch 😄

[dawn trout]

Makes more sense.

[gleaming crow]

soon™

[dawn trout]

TM = this month?

[elfin oxide]

TM = this millennial?

[dawn trout]

TM = tomorrow at midnight?

[gleaming crow]

tomorrow

[frigid elk]

tomorrow, tomorrow i love you tomorrow https://youtu.be/6PtdpI-D6mM?si=LkNYorQlZ_ALIQXn&t=57

[gleaming crow]

Well, It probably won't be today. Everything is functioning, but I'm in the middle of revising the Heist and getting it to look a specific way is important to me. you'll be fine.

[woven zealot]

So tomorrow then lmao

[gleaming crow]

well... today

[dawn trout]

https://tenor.com/biduX.gif

[woven zealot]

Fair fair, I didn't realize it was after 12 am when I sent that cus I had just ended my stream lol

[gleaming crow]

hours

[dawn trout]

Disclaimer: hours can mean as little as 2 up to a maximum of 1 million.

[gleaming crow]

I still have 2.4 hours, thank you very much
