Experimental Physically Scatter Atmosphere

This shader mod add a physically based single scatter atmosphere
Atmosphere is calculating based sun direction




Installing:
Put shaders folder in archive into current version folder in BeamNG user folder (not the mods folder) and delete shaders folder in temp folder in current version folder to force game rebuild the shader caches

Update:
v0.91:
Change archive name to BeamNGPhysicallyAtmospherev0.91.zip
Balanced brightness
v0.92:
Better color of horizon
v0.93:
Better color of sky

 

Bro this is wonderful, gettin it rn

Does it really affect game performance tho?

 

Maybe a little, I didn’t really test performance, but fps not decreased much on my pc

 

ehm its not working

 

Did you delete shaders folder in temp folder?

 

I dont get what you mean for Put shaders folder in archive into your BeamNG user folder. Sorry if im a dumbass

 

The extra sky scattering from the sun looks really nice, but the bloom from it on any time of day that isn't barely peaking over the horizon is outrageous and makes the overall experience massively unpleasant. Is it possible to tune it such that the bloom is significantly reduced as the sun approaches overhead without compromising the scattering?

 

No you’re not, it’s my fault, now I had changed the installing description
I mean put shaders folder in zip into the folder your mods folder in, but not into the mods folder

I guess bloom threshold in BeamNG is a bit lower, anyway, I will thy to make it looks better

Oh it add 10% of frame generation time

I think tonemapping or bloom or surface reflection in BeamNG not correct, so we can hardly get a balance visual of sky

Is there a chance that we will see similar sky improvements in the game officially?

 

About this, ive bug reported eye adaption/autoexposure since 0.26 i believe. In 0.25 it worked in World Editor (see my vid here: )and also theres a nice mod on the forums making it slow down (fixed time delay) so we got a delay in exposrue adjustment. Some of the Rendererer Components-functions works but it doesnt seem to be able to read screen luminense anymore, not sure if thats to do with the HDR shader transferring to Renderer instead of the old PostFx-folders? I really miss the old eye candy possibilities with Beamng tbh

About this mod, lovely, been wanting it for so long, adds to all the sky details and should look even bettwer with the volumetric clouds mod! Good job!

 

I've been waiting for this exact feature for so long. 10/10

 

Is there something different for linux?
or is the sun this shiny normally?


its really an awesome looking mod tho.


but i do wonder if im the idiot expecting the sun to be less shiny lol.

 

It’s normally and it did shiny to much, I’m also want to get it shiny normal. there are some defines in the top of the file, you can open it with any editor and change it

 

The sun is leaking.

 

Volume clouds shader start writing

 

.
Tried it with the volumetric clouds mod and it seems to work Too bad he has stopped working on it since it feels like a good start, a bit chunky but a big difference compared to the non existing clouds of todays vanilla, Ido use my own sunscale, ambient and so on sky colours (whichh are reduced alot from vanilla due to some sun brightness experimentation i did) also ive reduced some of the values in your mod. Ill post a screenshot later.

 

Screen space reflection is also in plan

 

Buddy, if youre delivering on all this then its one hell of a gfx boost package

 

Oh and I also planned to change the whole render pipeline, if it progresses smoothly, the visuals and performance will both improve
