shaders settings? it looks amazing

[signal sierra]

Where's my discount, Sidorovich?

[buoyant pumice]

all your screenshots looks like base gamma, nothing wrong in it. Interiors may look better in EFP but in returns theres instances where you cant see shit most likely. Also interior lighting is broken in Anomaly, thats how it is.

[tepid jetty]

Fair enough. Just wanted to make sure- appreciated

[buoyant pumice]

you might want to dig in your user.ltx from EFP, and try some settings from it or the reshade it use 😉 theres also nice configs in this discord, glhf

[tepid jetty]

glhf?

[buoyant pumice]

"good luck have fun" 🙂

[hoary valley]

how?

[buoyant pumice]

looks like S2 leaks

[hoary valley]

which grass is better, 1 or 2

more grass 2

[buoyant pumice]

1 looks like aydins winter if i remember correctly ? I prefer it shorter, with less density, it always appears so big

[hoary valley]

its aydins autum grass without trees

they are both using the same exact settings for grass etc

[craggy basalt]

god i love this game

I'll be free tonight to finally work on the update to address fog issues

Can you dm me your preset @jovial cedar

No problem, it's time for me to sleep anyway

I'll run a few more tests and I'll send it to you

Western Goods addon brings new storylines! Just started a new one.

First Karlik i see in a while

[rapid tide]

ooh a whole new story?

[normal dawn]

New storyline?

[rapid tide]

yee

the brothers

[merry canyon]

that would be a cool idea

instead of stash coords, you were given a hand drawn map and have to look for it red dead style

for stashes

would be a bad idea for the object limit tho

[shadow raptor]

Can u Hand me that preeset thats beautifull man

[coral sable]

Yep, and its more than one, i just started the first one

[jovial cedar]

It still needs a review by Hippobot, since it's still fresh and probably need some more tweaking

[shadow raptor]

Kk tell me when its done cause its beautifull

[jovial cedar]

Thank you ^^

[coral sable]

Yep, more than one

[leaden adder]

This was my first day in Gamma, I was mind blown by everything. Watching the sunrise from the top of a car. I was so tickled by the actor shadow, I was just jumping up and down and laughing ❤️

[tepid jetty]

Does anyone know what causes that black outline onthose distant trees and how to remove it?

[thin geode]

Anti aliasing. Turn off and restart game

[tepid jetty]

what Preset are you using for this and have you got any extra settings etc? Beautiful..!

[tepid jetty]

Thanks..!!!

[tepid jetty]

What Preset are you using for this man and is there anything extra you've set etc?

[thin geode]

Just to be clear, SMAA works well. Anti aliasing should be off

[final harbor]

hi bud, that's the phroZac BADLAND reshade preset, with game light settings modified to 1.2 gamma, 1.1 brightness and 2 colour contrast

[tepid jetty]

Thanks very much- looks f***g amazing mate

[tepid jetty]

how did yo u get that Compass at the bottom too?

[final harbor]

cheers buddy 🙂 very happy with how everything runs these days, probably about 200 hours of tweaking but all is looking nice now

the compass/lack of hud comes from the (fkn brilliant) https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1097606453696667721

gas mask overlays come from here https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1108492348268216381

[tepid jetty]

oh that sounds interesting- I like immersion a la not much HUD so will look into that!

[final harbor]

dynahud is legit my favourite mod on this entire discord, the author is amazing too make sure to drop him a thanks if you go with it! 🙂

[tepid jetty]

I will man- it sounds amazing if it does what I think it does 🙂

[tepid jetty]

are there any other mods you'd defo recommend- new here and love visuals and immersion

[tepid jetty]

omg thanks man- plus I basically nearly DOUBLED my FPS with that and it looks better..!!!

[thin geode]

You’re welcome! It hits performance hard but doesn’t do much

[final harbor]

I'm a huge fan of anything UI related, so dynahud is 100% the top of that list.
I really like these though:
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1065248535588634685
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1085355655478640660
Couple of more optional things too like dismemberment. Very satisfying throwing a grenade into a room of monolid and seeing legs go flying.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dismemberment-01

Shoutout to these two, too:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/death-and-injury-sounds-ultimate-merge-pack1
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/sprint-cancel-aim-and-lean-toggle
And this on the realism preset is nice: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hollywoodfx3, it's very tasty seeing your barrel smoke after firing a bunch of rounds.

Could also check out: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1043020993687474186 if you're looking for more visuals. This one doesn't impact performance much for me either, if at all. I run better in some places with it actually

[tepid jetty]

holy crap thanks for all these man.!!! 🙂

Really appreciate all this and you taking the time- great community this

[final harbor]

all good mate 🙂 last thing I'd recommend is reinstalling Aydin's grass tweaks and seeing which of the ones you prefer. They're all beautiful though. Note that Adega texture repack replaces all grass/trees with its own version

[final harbor]

and yeahh the entire server is fkn awesome. shoutout to https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1029824156289732649 for just being fire tbh

[tepid jetty]

AH- I know Aydins grass comes already working yes BUT if I use ADEGA then it overwrites that grass yes?

[final harbor]

yep 🙂 you could place adega above aydins though and aydins (nicer, imo) grass should overwrite. Then you just get the nice concrete, rocks, walls etc. from Adega

[tepid jetty]

when you say above do you mean literally on TOP of ADEGA? Or as a higher NUMBER in MO2 pls?

it always confuses me the MO2 stuff

[final harbor]

sorry, yeah so if you wanted Aydin's grass alongside Adega textures (for example) you'd place Adega anywhere above Aydin's grass, so that Adega would have a lower number. The way mo2 works is that it generally loads things in a descending order, so anything that has a higher number in the priority column is loaded last and will overwrite (in case of any conflicts) whatever is above 🙂

[tepid jetty]

AH ok thanks man- one more if I can pls? I JUST put Hollywood FX in Visuals and when I fired my gun the game crashed? Where should I put that pls?

[final harbor]

All good and hmm, try placing it as low down in your load order as possible (so it has the highest number). Try deleting your shader cache (type !shaders in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293 will show you how to do this properly). If those two things fail, it could be an install fail, if I remember right it's not an FOMOD install so you have to drag & drop some things. I've literally just jumped in bed though so if you can't get it working still give me a private ping and we'll see if you can sort it tomorrow 🫡

[tepid jetty]

haha sorry man- I'll let you go but THANKS again- absolutely appreciate your help..!!!

[final harbor]

no worries at all my g have fun!

[tepid jetty]

That worked..! GN..!!! 🙂

Thx! Hippobots Atmospheric + A.D.E.G.A. + Aydin Grass (Autumn Trees / Winter Grass) + Reshade: phroZac_BADLAND_v6. Everything included in GAMMA. You just have to activate these. + Good Timing during an Psy-Storm. 😉

Ok, A.D.E.G.A. is a seperate Download but like someone mentioned. Put it above Aydins Grass and you will get great Textures and awesome Grass.

• I don`t use dynamic tonemap. I deactivated it ingame via MCM. I use lumscale commands via console (^) and put it at: r2_sun_lumscale 3.
  r2_sun_lumscale_amb 0.9
  r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 0.9

• cfg_load atmosr

but i don`t know if this is necessary when you just use normal gamma. I think not...

And ingame settings: SMAA on very high (doesn`t hit performance so much). Shadows extreme and in launcher shadowmap on 4096.

[clever badger]

I don't know if i should download a reshade or any other mod. I'm scared of fucking up so bad,

[random flame]

This runs very well above 80fps+ with a Ryzen 5700x and a 4070 RTX on 2560x1440

[clever badger]

Idk my pc gets 80+ fps with almost max settings.

But I use a 3060 tho

[random flame]

i forgot something. Additional i use Hippobots advice for the nvidia settings:

[clever badger]

I haven't even used my nvidia settings lol.

[random flame]

and i always delete manual the shader_cache folder under appdata if i change textures/reshade. This helps a lot.

[night canopy]

I have an amd card

[random flame]

Sorry, i don`t know. Did not have a amd card for almost 10 years. But i assume there should be something similar...

[clever badger]

They have similar performance, Just without ray tracing and what else nvidia adds

[random flame]

yeah, i know this. But after my trusty 1080 gtx fucked up her vram i needed a new card. i have a gsync monitor so i did not have a choice if i did not want to burn just more money...

me off that fortnite gas station cart I found lying on the ground

[tepid jetty]

Are most of these screenshots from Vanilla Gamma? Anything enabled/added?

[still hinge]

Some of these people might be using custom reshade presets but it looks like most of it is the shaders that come packaged with GAMMA

Not sure if this is the right channel for this sorta thing but I turned on atmospherics for GAMMA and it looks a little underwhelming to me

Now I'm not saying it looks bad but it doesn't look anywhere comparable to some of the screenshots I've seen here

Is there anything I'm missing out on that could potentionally make my game look better?

I'm using AtmosR+ at the moment, isn't that supposed to be one of the good ones?

[pallid stag]

Try different ones, tweak settings, if not checkout #╟🎑reshades channel

It’s one of the higher quality ones included in Atmos but “good” depends on you

I use Capa’s Autumn reshade, and would recommend it

[drifting pulsar]

First of all, that's 2k, anything higher than 1080p looks already better. What's your issue with yours? Show us some pictures.
When there were lot of changes in Atmoshperics, a month or two ago I had a hard time liking it. I always saw the changes, the tiny (bad) details.
Now, after a month of real play I fucking love it. Now I only see the beauty in it.

depends on the trees. aydins trees go with aydins grass, summer autmn trees go with sumer autumn grass.

Does that look weird with autumn grass and summer to autumn trees in the left pic

it doesnt, you can try using it. but i would choose summer autumn grass with summer autumn trees, looks better for me.

playing on my own modpack went into the wild territory imma cry because every time I try and load in this happens

bro def had enough😭

[prisma mural]

Some screenshots during my 1st mission , the game looks gorgeous , my only complain would be the fog . Fog for some reason messes up the color grading and also density looks very odd.

The fog.

[craggy basalt]

What resolution are you using? 🙂

[prisma mural]

1920x1080 @ 60hz

[craggy basalt]

Damn. I have a problem with shimmering where distant objects are getting pixelated, and i thought its because i have 1920x1080, but it seems thats not the case :/

[prisma mural]

what GPU do you have and also CPU?

[craggy basalt]

GTX 1650 3gb, Intelcore i5 8300h, 8gb ram.

weird cuz i dont have that problem in vanilla anomaly

[clever badger]

Wish I could play at that res

[prisma mural]

i think this combo would not handle things...Gamma uses various reshade presets . my system is also not that high end but it does run everything on ultra

[craggy basalt]

The thing is, the shimmering is happening even without reshade. I tried to change any settings but i am just stupid or is it just weird for me

[prisma mural]

did you updated your drivers? and also play with anti ailising , mine is set to 4x

[craggy basalt]

Yes, i did update them. And with the anti ailising, i was trying to check different settings but none helped so i have it off

[prisma mural]

ok , well hopefully you find the solution. i think your system is not suited for handling Stalker GAMMA. I have ryzen 5600x with 6700xt on ssd then i am able to push

[craggy basalt]

It works fine. I have 30-45 fps most of the time, even in rostok. And the graphics are outstanding, but just the shimmering is annoying me

[prisma mural]

i dont have shimmiering i remeber to turn off sharpning presets in reshade to avoid it. but you said you have disaabled reshade even then it happens.

[craggy basalt]

Oh shit. It seems that theres a driver update. Imma check it now

[clever badger]

I don't know how my game looks like this. but it kinda cool

I aint using any reshade

default shaders

[prisma mural]

looks ok to me!

[clever badger]

Looks better than before tbh.

before it was just darker

[prisma mural]

cool

[prisma mural]

looks nice , that bluish tint gives it extra cool effect

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I love the Late Fall's clear nights

[prisma mural]

Nice, any particular Reshade preset you using?

And is it autmn version mine was spring.

[jovial cedar]

Oh it's the preset included in the new Atmospherics

[opal sigil]

How romantic :). The lightning however is much more impressive when it flackers than in an image

[toxic plaza]

I like it to and if you are agree to share it, I would be curious to see it on my game.

[jovial cedar]

@lunar crane I have a question, if I wanted to keep the nights as they are in your recent releases, but change the moon back to the old one you had, how should I proceed ?

By old one I mean this one

[lunar crane]

moon settings in sun.ltx

[jovial cedar]

So I don't need to change any texture ?

[lunar crane]

nope if you use late fall or other my addons

[jovial cedar]

Currently using Golden Autumn so I'll be good to go

[lunar crane]

Right now I'm using this moon texture, it's present in G.A.R. but settings are not updated yet

[jovial cedar]

To be fair I like it so much more than the current one

If I copy the suns ltx from the old one to replace the new one will it work ?

[lunar crane]

yeah if textures are present. Do not forget that the weather presets indicate which moon is used. There are several

[jovial cedar]

Yeah, I'll take a closer look

[jovial cedar]

Looks great, so I can find the textures in the textures folder or is it in a db file ?

[lunar crane]

wait for the update, I just looked in GAR there is no this texture of the moon there is another

[jovial cedar]

Sure thing, thanks for the hard work

@lunar crane Amazing work

[mint bough]

any advice on making my vegetation look less choppy?

I'm playing in 1920x1080, so i don't know if i should forget about it, heard this resolution is super fucked up for trees and such

[normal dawn]

Try turning on Antialiasing and/or SMAA. The former is really GPU intensive so you might get less performance, the latter isn't afaik. Turning them both on won't completely solve the issue tho, I think it's something you have to deal with

[mint bough]

aren't they bugged in this resolution?

I have AA on in the nvidia control panel tho and i can see some difference

[normal dawn]

I don't know, but I've heard multiple times that apparently Stalker doesn't have proper antialiasing, instead they used some fake method to make it look like there is

[normal dawn]

I'm talking about the ingame option. Idk if or how the NVIDIA one works

I'd try AA at 2x and 4x and see if that helps. Personally I don't see any difference between 4x an 8x

[mint bough]

I don't see no difference tho 😦

[jovial cedar]

Not the right way to swim soldier

[normal dawn]

I think you need to restart the game? Not sure right now. All I know is it did help a lot in my case, however it doesn't always work. For example when I way playing with a winter mod, during a specific combo of daytime and lighting the edges were still jagged. The default visuals do work consistently for me tho. What DX are you running at?

[river furnace]

how many?

[orchid shale]

standart anomaly so beautiful

[mint bough]

i did restart it in fact, playing dx11 atm

[normal dawn]

I'm not sure then. I'm playing with AA x4, SMAA High and there's a noticeable difference. Doesn't get rid of the problem completely but it's better than having none

[buoyant hedge]

the 2nd is Wayyyy to bright imo

[mint bough]

you playing in 1080 too?

[normal dawn]

Yeah

@lunar crane Do you have an issue with headshot on the Late Fall latest update ? I tried headshotting Hip but it gave me the error linked to the particles.xr, probably GAMMA's decapitation

Question for you shader freaks:

Does Atmospheric Shaders normally look like this, in the rain?

This is so goddamn dark!

[strange finch]

Whats your reshade?

[finite fossil]

None.

[strange finch]

and time of day

[finite fossil]

8:00.

All the basic light settings for the game are at 1.

[strange finch]

Mmmm I think thats wrong

type cfg_load atmosR

in console to load the settings that you need

[finite fossil]

I have Reshade uninstalled.

Unless that can still be loaded?

[strange finch]

just type the console command in

[finite fossil]

Yessir.

It is now much brighter.

I didn't think Atmospheric Shaders required a reshade.

[strange finch]

This isnt a reshade man

its a console command since you manually changed the lighting settings that gamma uses

[finite fossil]

Ahhh, I see, I see.

Thanks for the help, homie, let's see if the performance stays good.

@strange finch If you'd be down to help some more, I've noticed a snag:

[strange finch]

?

[finite fossil]

The distance is weirdly dark.

[strange finch]

That shouldnt be the case

[finite fossil]

I assume so, that's a bit jarring.

[strange finch]

How it should look in that scenario

[finite fossil]

Also damn, your textures are vibrant as Hell.

[strange finch]

What do you mean

[finite fossil]

The green and orange and brown, I like it. I picked the autumn setting for the grass mod, but it's not that nice looking... anyway, anyway, I'm gonna try relaunching and nuking the shader cache, for shits and giggles.

What shader mods do you have on in MO2?

[strange finch]

Just atmospherics

[finite fossil]

You don't have Enhanced Shaders, too?

[strange finch]

I mean yeah but iyou shoulnt have to do anything

should be setup for you from the get go

[finite fossil]

See, I disabled all the shader mods that came with it, cause I was getting piss frames. That's why I nuked Reshade and disabled all the other stuff. I just started to notice how bright it was during overcast and rainy weather, said "man this won't do" and wanted to try Atmospherics.

...yadayada, I got it working and I'm trying to get myself back to where it should be, in working order.

[strange finch]

you just need enhacned shaders and screen space shaders

enhanced shaders then screen space shaders

then atmospherics

atmospherics has highest priority

enhanced shaders having lowest

screen space shaders in the middle

[finite fossil]

Yup, that's all set.

No need for any other shaders?

Yo wait--

I JUST REALIZED, HAHAH, you made Atmospherics.

[strange finch]

yes

[finite fossil]

Legendary.

I appreciate the assistance with this dude. Lemme see if clearing the shader cache works.

I won't ping ya again, but just incase you were curious, that did it. The game looks much nicer, thank you for the shader and your help~

[finite fossil]

Lost Alpha was beautiful. I hardly remember it, but I collected a couple screenshots.

Obligatory Post Emission Screenshot™️

But this one is special, to me. It was the first time I ever experienced a blowout in a STALKER game, cause I tried playing Lost Alpha before I touched Clear Sky or CoP.

[lunar crane]

I made fix for this long time ago, before 0.9. And I thought issue is gone. Just don’t use additional effects, or check inverno in custom textures. Fix was there

[lunar crane]

It’s for you

@small wharf Now look I know the difference is very minimal but I noticed it on accident and want to figure out what causes it. Left is hud on, right hud off

[small wharf]

Could it be the mask overlay? Try turning that off in visual > player

No it wasnt that either

Maybe it'd be an exaggeration to say that this is my single best gaming experience in my whole life, but it's in the top 10, or even top 3?!
The last six months were about Gamma for sure, I either play it, or watch Gamma videos in my spare time.

[dark brook]

Awesome 😄 !! Well for me, Underrail is certainly one of the most memorable game I played recently, but sadly enough it's mostly a "you play it only once" kind of a deal

[drifting pulsar]

We, true fans don't play Gamma.
We LIVE it.
It's a feeling of life.

IDK even after the update the fog is too white , too thicc and is casting too much whiteness to every object around it. Is there an easy fix for this or adjustment? Reshade preset is turned OFF.

[real schooner]

Yes

[hollow meadow]

are you sure it's not just foggy?

there's foggy weather

[real schooner]

Aydins hud tweaks

[prisma mural]

It is foggy but even for foggy weather it does not look that good as compared to all other weather effects IMO

I think the main reason is the limitation of engine, fog + morning time = super brightness which exposes stalker's outdated textures and models rendering. Maybe?

[formal abyss]

Thanks man)

[strange finch]

You have anti aliasing on

in game settings

[prisma mural]

yes 4 x

[strange finch]

turn it off

Lel yeah turn it off

aight

lmao msaa kinda bad im assuming you're using reshade

which preset are you using?

you wont belive this but anomaly tweak on moddb

but the sc has no reshade on

anomaly tweak?

[jovial cedar]

I think the one version tweaked of your Film preset

[strange finch]

oh

Or was it Hippo R ?

Don't remember, something R

I cant offer support for altered presets as I dont know what they have changed or altered

[jovial cedar]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/atmos-r-tweaked-reshade-preset-11

That one I suppose

[strange finch]

This is news to me (not bothered) but as of a montho ago since I took my break I didnt know people were forking my presets and including them in other mod lists

which is cool but means that they can mess stuff up and it has my name attached but I dont really care tbh

Im all for people taking my stuff and tweaking it

[strange finch]

Ahh okay

[prisma mural]

here is it with Atmos+ preset with MXXO on as additional setting

[jovial cedar]

What weather or texture pack are you using ? Base GAMMA ?

[prisma mural]

Yea

[jovial cedar]

Does it do it only with that Reshade preset ?

[prisma mural]

this is default fog no reshade

also AA turned off at 1080 res

gamma = 1.1 saturation =0.8 brightness = 1

[gentle plume]

*** g r a i n ***

it's a lot more grainy in game, trust

[prisma mural]

sorry i forgot to mention that i have one additional mod installed the Global texture rework addon, but i think thats not the issue. here it is without the addon with GAMMA's stock texture mods

Atmos + tweaked resahde preset

I tried it last night and could seem to like that much

og atmos R+ os the one for me

There was a feature i loved, but after GAMMA 0.9 it disappeared, when you approched a campfire, its light would reflect on the gun. This happens with this settings?

Even sunlight would reflect, like here

[gloomy steeple]

mmm i am not sure yuri this was from an old build, but if you take as a reference the shotgun image don't do it, it was a ligthing there and ilumination gets afected by that light

[jovial cedar]

Did you try asking Grok directly ?

You know what ? I'm not a coward @dark brook Did something happen in 0.9 regarding reflections of light on guns ? Edit: Nevermind then, sorry for the ping

[coral sable]

Yes, he answered " yes, some shaders changed"

[jovial cedar]

Oh, now that I think about it, Jaku was working on the shaders at some point

So perhaps there is a way to find the files that are touching that

#1093719032970092544 message the discussion

[coral sable]

Yeah, once i saw this off in MO, i though into turning it on, but since playing with shaders commonly leads to crashes i decided not to try hehe

[jovial cedar]

Well, a good crash for science never hurts x)

Can't really help on that since I know nothing about shaders, and my GAMMA is currently a few weeks outdated because modding

[woeful glacier]

Lovely, how did you get/make cherry blossoms?

[jovial cedar]

Took Paint.net

Took Aydin Grass and Trees, Spring edition

Turned everything in lfo folder, pink

[woeful glacier]

Radical. Looks awesome 😎

[jovial cedar]

Not the ideal way for sure, but it does work enough for me, sadly some trees are still green, I will need to figure out how to fix that, but yeah, much later, I have so much already on my plate modding wise, but thank you ^^

[thin geode]

Good with grass? I tried to re color vanilla grass, but when I export it(dxt5), grass doesn’t render in past like 10m no matter what my settings are lol

[coral sable]

Generate mipmaps and Apply Kaiser filter

[thin geode]

Yep I did that, even tried all of the compression methods like dxt1 etc. I tried exporting with nvidia export tool and gimp aswell. Converting to png and back to dds 🤷🏽‍♂️ no grass past 10m away

[jovial cedar]

Well I haven't touched the grass but yeah, same issue as well

Otherwise the zone would have been swarmed by blue grass

[tropic bough]

https://tenor.com/view/smash-gif-13700757

I notice the original dds only shows 8 mipmaps in nvidia tool but when I export it has 13 🤔

[jovial cedar]

Unfortunately that preset died because I can't make the grass goes as further as Aydin's grass

[coral sable]

Hmm, using custom grass? The render depends on the "thickness" of the grass, if it iss too thin, it wont remder

[jovial cedar]

Can saturation play a role as well in rendering ?

[coral sable]

I dont think so, since its just color information

[thin geode]

I tried vanilla grass and aydins grass, didn’t change anything except saturation

[jovial cedar]

For some reason, no matter what setting I try, even the ones you said, it still goes wrong, like incredibly flat and spaced out

[jovial cedar]

Same

[coral sable]

One of the first GoTZ versions had poppy flowers field, they wouldn render in distance even being very red

[thin geode]

Weird.. I even tried without mipmaps, then it renders far but is extremely shimmery

[coral sable]

This is with Rendering distance at 90, density in like 75% and height 1, before thickening the grass it would show like, 10m of distance

Level.details plays a row in that too, i use GoTZ with LateFall, seems like the grasses there are more dense than in vanilla anomaly

So if i use 75% of density in LateFall, it looks more dense than in vanilla anomaly

[thin geode]

How did you thicken it? Level details don’t make sense to me lol

[coral sable]

Basically, grasses in stalker are like a paper sheet, the level.details tells the engine wich format to cut these paper sheets (Alpha channel, included in every level.detail) + color information (RGB chanels). To customize or make it thicker, you must first remove its background and open it in Photoshop or gimp (i use Photoshop), copy the grass layer (Ctrl+j) and move a bit to left or right (this will make it look more dense). I got a video showing the process if you want

Not exactly this process, but the basics of working with grass

[thin geode]

Oh I see, that’s why when I tried making custom grass it did not work well lol I’d like to see the video! Thanks

it gives them better textures

no its english

just has russian too

for russian users

[low ermine]

ohh

[low ermine]

thanks homie, this is just the mod i was looking for. i dont particularly think the 10+ year old anomaly textures match up with the rest of the extremely high quality graphical mods.

[rapid tide]

it also has 4k options too

I use the 4k

its all fomod too

so you just install via mo2

[low ermine]

sorry for so many questions, what r your specs and did it lower your fps by a significant amount if so estimated % loss of fps?
