[atomic hinge]

your color work keeps getting better and better its insane, great job

[steep zinc]

Thanks bro 😎 Mostly Atmospherics carrying the weight

[atomic hinge]

yeah, but your touch is very apparent, i tried getting it look like yours but i couldnt replicate it haha

[steep zinc]

The only other thing that I’m using for color is emergent zone, “horizon” preset. Try that if u haven’t already bro…I don’t really use reshades aside from depth of field…and clarity…

[atomic hinge]

would you happen to remember the strength of the LUT ?

[steep zinc]

100% strength

[atomic hinge]

i see, thanks alot man, ill start fucking around now i guess lol

wait shit, what about zone vs zone-x ?

[steep zinc]

Yea man. No problem

[atomic hinge]

i heard there are some differences between zone and zone-x, which one do u recommend ?

[steep zinc]

I don’t use either of those configs. I use “atmos_neutral” that comes with atmospherics

[atomic hinge]

alright, ty again man and sorry for the multiple questions

[steep zinc]

It’s really no problem man. And you’re welcome

[steep zinc]

I also have all my mods listed on my YT channel so u can also refer to that if it helps bro.

[atomic hinge]

oh ye i forgot you made the video, i actually thought u havent and i was waiting for it lol

these ground textures blend well with the autumn foliage

yes they do. They blend very well, and look very natural

"Steve Harveys Mustache"

[fickle steppe]

what do you use?

[rotund raptor]

finally updated after playing 0.9.1. forever and yeeaaahhh I get it

[fickle steppe]

what do you use to get these graphics?

[rotund raptor]

tbh this all I did was update to the latest version and used an old-ass reshade

oh with C-Con grass/trees

[fickle steppe]

what reshade do u use?

[rotund raptor]

uhhhhh they should be posted here somewhere, lemme find the link

#╟🎑reshades message

these were made for gamma version like.... 0.9.1. so they're crazy outdated

mostly good for screenshots/videos

[spare needle]

Go watch clikrad video on gamma settings with hippobot

I recommend turning up shadow cascade amount on the far distance in sss settings

[west plume]

[raw rover]

is toxic air a mod?

[steep zinc]

its a LUT in EMERGENT ZONE...if im not mistaken....

[raw rover]

what's emergent zone?

[steep zinc]

a MOD that allows u to use LUT's

[raw rover]

i hate to sound like an absolute tard but... what is a LUT

[steep zinc]

a look-up Table

[raw rover]

a what?

[steep zinc]

to keep it simple, they are basically filters u can use to change the colors/look of your game

[raw rover]

oh like in reshade. i remember messing with one in reshade and it made my screen blue. why would u need emergent zone for that

[steep zinc]

its similar to ReShade without having to use ReShade

[raw rover]

why not use reshade, what's the difference between the two.

[steep zinc]

its just preference....and if im not mistaken, EMERGENT ZONE doesnt kill your frames like ReShace...

[raw rover]

that's cool but my frames been dead a long time ago. 45 fps in cordon, WITHOUT RESHADE

[steep zinc]

I would maybe leave the graphical stuff alone then ?.....

[raw rover]

default gamma. my specs are pretty low but i play at 768p
i7 6700
rtx 3050

[steep zinc]

yea bro, i would just keep things simple then to squeeze out as many frames as u can...

[raw rover]

but it's prettyy

[steep zinc]

SSS24 has upscaling now...u could maybe try that...

[raw rover]

already did, tbh it doesn't do squat. it honestly just blurs your screen and shits out half a frame

[steep zinc]

works fine on my end, and actually makes the game much sharper and run much better...not sure what the problem is on your end bro....

[raw rover]

wait really? what is the setup process then? do i need to lower my ingame resolution?

because i gained literally no fps

[steep zinc]

There are install instructions on the screen space shaders discord...been a while since I installed it so u will have to look around the discord to find them...

[raw rover]

this discord? i installed it correctly, i did the ssfx_upscaler stuff, its just the question of how to actually make it give me frames

[steep zinc]

Damn....If you're not getting any improvement, its mostly likely your CPU/GPU isnt strong enough... not sure what else it could be

[steep zinc]

the only other thing I can think of is using Lossless Scaling...which is a program u can download from steam which will give u access to frame gen and more scaling options....

[raw rover]

well, dlss and upscalers work in every other game, i can't see how that could be a factor

[raw rover]

i have it. idk about using it for fps games, mostly used it for beamng where latency doesn't matter much

well i'm not gonna hold u here longer i gtg see ya man

[steel belfry]

where did you download sss24?

[raw arch]

Go to the moddb for sss, buy ascii a coffee, get link, profit

[solid marsh]

is it really worth it

[rapid tide]

It’s $3

Imo just wait but if you want it, just $3 is not much

[steel belfry]

You think it will be out on early 2026 or maybe mids 2026?

[raw arch]

It will be out by that time.. Betas last for a few months before release..

[solid marsh]

i mean like is it that drastic a step up in graphics or is it just meh

[raw arch]

I don't know if it's worth it yet.. SSS23 was 1000% worth the cost.. 24 idk I haven't used it yet

[rapid tide]

$3 isn’t a lot even if it’s not worth it

You get access to next updates too I think right erandis or is it just the upcoming sss then you have to repay? If not $3 for full sss access on each new upcoming release is a steal

Heard 24 has some fps benefits like fsr or something but idk everything since I never bought it myself

[solid marsh]

imma try it out

[thin obsidian]

imo 100% worth

[past vigil]

guh

[solid marsh]

i think its a lot more stable fps wise but you have to tinker with the settings

im also still trying to get rid of this weird dull sheen to my weapons (i cant tell if its just the textures)

[cunning crest]

[humble bay]

More likely to be CPU. If it was gpu bottleneck - he would've gained more fps

[cunning crest]

sloppy implementation ig

[humble bay]

Either that (hopefully gets fixed until full release) or CPU bottleneck

[humble bay]

1. I don't recognize these walls
2. even with puddles always enabled they're nowhere near that size. How?

[raw arch]

Puddle size is controlled via SSS MCM.. The walls are from a secret unreleased map.. Idk I signed an NDA or something..

[humble bay]

You mean "puddle size" option in MCM>SSS>Terrain?

[raw arch]

Somewhere around there yeah.. It's been a long time since I messed with it

[limpid kernel]

It's the military base south of Cordon and that isn't a puddle, that road is now a lake

[hardy thunder]

wich hands pack is that?

[humble bay]

It's clearly a modified version of Cordon, cause there's no walls in Gamma

[rain fern]

feels good to be back

[limpid kernel]

There are walls there though? You have to go round the east of the compound to the jump them and get in behind the guards

Noice..although you seem to have enough fps to push grass density up ~ the game is playable at 35-40 fps

[rain fern]

ya not wrong there it was a habit to put it that low as i used to struggle to even hit 40 fps over a year ago with the same pc and settings

dunno about you , but i cant play game unless it looks good 🤪

GAMMA reshade

[solid marsh]

its hard to say cos it depends on your hardware i think
SSS24 has this persistent bug with the pda not being upscaled or something (the text is blurry) and you'll likely only benefit if you have a nvidia card
i still have fps issues after the update in the usual places (rostok etc.)

[candid hinge]

You can find it at the anomaly discord

how do you raise black levels?

Quint lightroom has a blacks curve* option, increase that and enough and it'll push them up

Would recommend a youtube vid but every content creator just slaps on a far too strong white balance temp to the point the whole image just looks blue
then calls it "realism"

clik is bad for it but just dont use his reshde aha

but wouldnt mind tryna find a warm reshade

[rain fern]

should try out operation twilight for a cold reshade it isnt too blue XD

its not about realism its about to make the game look like a movie

Are you familiar with ReShade installation?

[rain fern]

somewhat i did just reinstall gamma yesterday so still fresh in my head send me a pm so we dont congest the ss channel

[limpid kernel]

I run my own custom Re-shade

Only 6 effects, looks better then anything else I've tried without the performance tank

[rain fern]

oh dope looks good the sky is a bit bright tho but i always had that trouble when i was learning how to do it but love the more neutrall color tone overall

[limpid kernel]

Sky does white clip a bit at mid-day at peak light but it's not like that 90% of the time, here it's fine with no issues

[rain fern]

yea i figured it would be on the peak when it comes to that light that ss looks way better in that time i notice 0.9 gamma and 1 brightness can cut through it but its a hassle to do it every time

[terse ruin]

@clever badger @harsh tangle I use latest gamma atmospherics with some minor console tweaks + reshade for bloom, DOF, sharpening and exposure/gamma/saturation tweaks and color corrections + fsr upscaling from latest ascii alpha and modwise it is ccon + ZTR, rotten, GFY and I think that is it

if you want more info just send me a DM

[terse ruin]

I use convolution bloom instead of solaris now, no increases to black levels, I use rs_c_contrast on 1.0 instead of 0.92 from atmos

[mystic drift]

!avx

[humble pasture]

@mystic drift Actual explanation at the bottom but simply put:

Do you have a good CPU? Use AVX (if you have a crash, it probably means your CPU doesn't support this function).
Do you have a good GPU? DON'T use AVX.
Do you have both? Try for yourself, see what's better.

Actual explanation:
AVX is a way for your CPU to do calculations on a large array of data simultaneously. This is the same kind of job GPUs are primarily meant for.
So if your GPU is decent, AVX is (in most cases) outclassed by the GPU itself. Best way to know which is better for you, personally, is to try both versions and see what does or doesn't crash/performs better.

[solid marsh]

i like how yours looks clean and crisp

[raw arch]

Idk.. I wasn’t given a full description

[hot turtle]

Just turn off bloom, volumetric effects, and indirect light. The rest is your subjective preference (like color grading etc.)

Comibed eats +10 fps / volumetric alone eats +5 fps

Totally worth it

[humble bay]

Comibed?

[naive kiln]

Volumetric + screenspace

[steady sorrel]

Yea still dont understand why the let you enable both at the same time
Two totally different rendering options
Here not made to work togeter its one or the other

[naive kiln]

i personally find it appealing when both on

to be fair it didnt look like this by default, had to alter many settings like sun depth scale and shafts shyt

[steady sorrel]

Yes can be but the logic is off
I can go here and explain how it works but that takes to long

Volumertic and screenspace and two compleetly different lighting pipelines not made to work together at the same time

[naive kiln]

i suppose Screenspace is like indirect light in SSS

[steady sorrel]

I may look in to how he made it mabey he used a wrong name for what it actualy is see im a lighting artist for 15+ years so for me this is out of the question

Here is why in a simple explenation

Volumetric lighting
Computed in world space

• Use depth + participating media fog densitylight cones

• Simulate light scattering through a 3D medium

• Persistent regardless of what’s on screen

Screenspace effects
Computed in screen space only

• Only use what the camera currently sees

• Lose all data when geometry leaves the screen

• Prone to artifacts popping incorrect occlusion

Mixing both causes inconsistent lighting, because the two systems disagree on what exists and how it should be lit

And if you also layer screenspace shadows/occlusion over that

• SSAO may darken areas that volumetrics thinks are unoccluded

• Volumetric shafts may appear over areas the screenspace pass believes are occluded

• Fog and godrays clip at screen edges

Now i know he stated that enabling both enables godrays
What is really strange because this is normaly caused by Volumatric so no idea what he did because this whole system is scrambled and works in ways it should not

Do you have any youtube channel ? I want to see how well your game runs. This sc looks stunning

[clever badger]

I used to be like you, thinking that these were just shader tweaks and in-game footage screenshots, then I realized that some of these screenshots are being upscaled before being posted, and just like my teachers in grade school, some of these tits are fake.

Guys, from a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is to improve my graphics from default gamma to these realistic ones from YT?

I mean, do they require many mods? configs? too many crashes?

Overall I mean, cuz i imagine many have their on issues

[raw arch]

Lmao kids complaining because they can't replicate a good looking game? Imagine an argument breaking out about screenshot of Anomaly..

[clever yoke]

yeah pretty bizarre

its like being defensive and uppity about the lamp you used to display someone's oil painting you liked

if it was a mod dev proud of their work i would understand somewhat

but devs tend to be humble and less cringe imo

[ashen shadow]

so i just installed the game through Gog and i only changed my resolution from 1080p to 1440p for my display so nothing at all in the graphics. Spawning in the rookie village i see this lightened background in the distance and just want to know if this is supposed to be this way?

[stark smelt]

what in the c con version is this boss, damn 😭

[dire needle]

ughh 0.2-0.3 i wanted to add those textures and meshes but they were shitty

[stark smelt]

looks so good in this ss

ghost of tsushima type shit

[dire needle]

only if spawned in bunch and without wind

[stark smelt]

oh this shit must've been crazy with stormy wind

cc lvutner can we implement some procedural grass (i know you've done it already)

[dire needle]

that would need proper grass mesh that bends alongside wind direction with more vertices and maybe different shader

[dire needle]

kill me i hate it, looks good only in low polly stylized games

[stark smelt]

well idk but they did have some interesting insights on grass rendering
https://youtu.be/Ibe1JBF5i5Y?si=B38-lRsRt_eD8dAQ

bro even talks about good normal maps for that type of grass mesh

can we remake C Con from scratch then Huh pls

like uhhhhhhhh idk man just restart it yeah

[dire needle]

can we not use ccon and go back to an4

[mighty axle]

glorious 20fps max density grass

[cunning crest]

it's pain.

do instancing instead (my code in ixr is clean and portable). then do culling on GPU
||later slap z-prepass on top, to optimize it further. sss adds additional outputs from grass shaders, and that shit ain't free||

[cunning crest]

grass density = yes.

[mighty axle]

yees

[steel belfry]

1 fps

[cunning crest]

sounds like a skill issue

rx580, not rtx ass gpu

[steady sorrel]

It really depends on the engine what it can handle
Procedural grass can be really heavy
Plus not sure why you would want procedural grass

[cunning crest]

nah, it depends on your skills. D3D11 is the same in every single engine

[dire needle]

[cunning crest]

procedural grass is fun

[steel belfry]

wtf how

[steady sorrel]

Well you ever tryed tunning procedural grass using unity and unreal? I have and i can tell you unity shits the bed while unreal has no work load at all

Yes of course you can optimize it but only till a point

But still dont understand the point of procedural grass in a game like this

See if its for wind simulation yea mabey but no need for procedural in that case

And if we talk about skill its my job in the game industry for the past 15+ years so i got the skill so that out of the question😅

[cunning crest]

Well you ever tryed tunning procedural grass using unity and unreal?
never had a single reason to do grass on unity/unreal

Yes of course you can optimize it but only till a point
where's that point at?
are you bandwidth bound? too much ALU in your grass shaders?

I wanted procedural shit for lulz. the same reason i try other things

[steady sorrel]

Never had a single reason to do grass on unity/unreal

Well then you for sure cant say every engine works the same if you didnt even work with it because thay is 100% a false statement i wish it was that simple

With that im cutting the conversation because i already were this is going and im not going in to a yes or no game

[cunning crest]

Let's move on then.

Is this inverno mod ? Looks sick

[muted plover]

What’s the AR mod pictured? Looks great

[steep zinc]

Kmack’s CAR-15

[muted plover]

Thanks!

[steep zinc]

Yessir

[muted plover]

Car 15 is my fav AR setup, looks dope in GAMMA

[steep zinc]

It really does…gives me delta force, Mogadishu vibes 😎

[muted plover]

100% the Gordy CAR-15 is legit

[digital kite]

Carry handle AR's are the greatest of drip

[steep zinc]

Yea I love the old school AR setup….especially with the scope on top of the carrying handle…

[muted plover]

The old school aimpoint makes it

[steep zinc]

Fuck yea

[muted plover]

Don’t get me wrong I like some Gucci setups too, but the retro AR builds are just too good

[digital kite]

I will almost always pick up a bone stock M4A1 as early game as possible and never use another 5.56 gun just for the vibes

[steep zinc]

Even with the iron sights it goes fuxking hard

[muted plover]

Same I have a hard time not using the M4a1

[digital kite]

carry handle irons are the best

[steep zinc]

Absolutely

[muted plover]

The M4s frosty just added to FWP go hard too

[digital kite]

show me

[muted plover]

They actually keep the front sight post when you add an optic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5z-1ZQ2EFA

[digital kite]

theyve done that for awhile now

wait nvm

[muted plover]

The last gamma update with the m4 on siber animations the front sight post disappeared when you added an optic

[steep zinc]

Yea I just downloaded fwp update! Got some sick AR’s…there’s a really dope silenced AK too

[digital kite]

ya im looking at an older screenshot now and its def gone. i misremembered

[muted plover]

Yep but the ones in that pack keep it, which is nice

FWP is a good mod

[steep zinc]

Yea it is

[digital kite]

Ill have to update. I was holding out on playing for awhile until I got some new hardware but the RAM purge fucked me so here I am continuing to play with my 12 year old rig

[steep zinc]

I know the feeling…took me like 5 years to upgrade…..these damn rigs ain’t cheap….especially the GPU’s nowadays

[muted plover]

I got lucky on my build

[digital kite]

the GPU is whatever I have a 3080 I can use for a bit until gpu prices crash sometime next year

[muted plover]

I did the no no and bought a pre built off Newegg then me and my friend went through all of it to ensure quality before my part warranty runs out. Got a 5070ti setup reasonably cheap

[steep zinc]

3080 is good to go…as long as u got a good CPU, it’ll carry it…atleast CPU’s aren’t crazy overpriced like GPU’s

[limpid kernel]

3080 is a good card

[steep zinc]

Fuck yea

[rain fern]

my 1080 wants to die XD

[muted plover]

Yeah 3080 is not a push over card by no means and 1080TI is still good till this day lol

[limpid kernel]

I'd stick with the 3080 for 3 - 4 years, then upgrade to a 5090 for 4k gaming if you want to upgrade

[digital kite]

I'm waiting to see what AMD comes up with next

[steep zinc]

If it’s still working, let it work !

[steep zinc]

Facts. nvidia are out of their fuxking minds

[digital kite]

Nvidia can throat my turds with their newer gen gpus

[limpid kernel]

Will never match Nvidia on the GPU end, their Processors are top tier though

[steep zinc]

Absolutely

[muted plover]

I went from a 4070 laptop to a 5070ti and Ryzen 9 desktop I’m chilling

[steep zinc]

Oh ur big chillin

[limpid kernel]

Got a 3080 in my laptop and a 4090 in my desktop, both are great

[muted plover]

Honestly the 4070 laptop was surprisingly good

[steep zinc]

Yea same. 4090 is still goated….will definitely be good for another decade unless game devs get lazy with optimization

[digital kite]

you pay for it though, and you get fucked on VRAM because of how greasy they spec the tiers of their cards.

[limpid kernel]

Just don't bother with getting any XX60 Nvidia, they're a scam, just go down a series and get an XX80 / XX90
I don't know why they do it but their previous series XX80/90 always outperform the next series 60's, makes no sense

[muted plover]

I was looking for a 4080 super or 4090 but they’re hard to find and when you do they’re $$$ but well worth it

[steep zinc]

It’s ridiculous how much nvidia wants for their Cards….who the hell is their target audience….

[digital kite]

AI datacenters

[steep zinc]

That makes sense

[digital kite]

It's the same reason why military gear is so expensive, because they know the government will pay the price. Nvidia is doing the same with the AI frenzy

[limpid kernel]

Picked up my 4090 a few years back when the prices dipped, I can sell it for more than I paid for it now, the market is fucked

[steep zinc]

How much did u pay ?

[muted plover]

Lucky, I sadly got into pc gaming when the market went outrageous lol

[digital kite]

I should have built this summer

that was probably the best time imo

[limpid kernel]

Just north of 1000

[muted plover]

Yeah that’s crazy good price

[steep zinc]

Not bad considering the market….mine was 2K flat after taxes…..fuxking mind blowing

[limpid kernel]

I got it in a pre-build at a discount price, before that I was replacing parts on my old desktop
Whole system was a steal and I use it for work so it was an easy decision

[muted plover]

Yeah but your set for pretty much life lol on gaming

[steep zinc]

Nice. A good PC like that will last for years if maintained correctly….buy once cry once….

[steep zinc]

Oh yea, I’m not upgrading EVER….im gonna ride this till the heat sink falls off….

[limpid kernel]

Yeah had my AIO bomb out on me but was an easy fix, I'm looking at replacing my i9 with and AMD Processor though

[muted plover]

I paid roughly 2200$ for my pre built, 5070ti, ryzen 9 9900, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd

[digital kite]

Some oldies but goodies

[muted plover]

This game always just looks great its mind blowing

[steep zinc]

i9s run hot right ?….my i7 fried using fans…had to fork out more cash to get liquid cooling just to keep it under 80c…PC gaming will break the bank easily

But it beats buying a new console every year…

[muted plover]

I have liquid cool my bad lol not to me

[limpid kernel]

Yeah got a 3 Fan AIO just to keep the temps under control, side panel off aswell for extra airflow

[steep zinc]

Yea u gotta go liquid with those CPU’s…they can hit 100+ easily

[muted plover]
