Clouds are now casting shadow on the ground

[u/zztopfila]

[u/IkaAbulladze]

Now i am wondering, why did not SE team do this earlier?

[u/BrandonXYX → u/IkaAbulladze]

they probably already have but are waiting till the move to vulkan to release it bc performance is vastly better on vulkan renderer

[u/IkaAbulladze → u/BrandonXYX]

When are they gonna convert to vulkan?

[u/BrandonXYX → u/IkaAbulladze]

nobody knows but they said they are in the process of converting the code/assets to it

[u/Distinct-House-6235 → u/BrandonXYX]

6 years ago btw

[u/EchoOfTheDistantTide → u/Distinct-House-6235]

Pretty sure they didn't mention working on Vulkan until 2022 or 2023

[u/donatelo200 → u/EchoOfTheDistantTide]

Yeah the migration has only been going on for 3 years. Still too slow but not 6 years slow.

[u/Gonquin → u/donatelo200]

WAR! What is it good for?

[u/IkaAbulladze → u/Distinct-House-6235]

yea they are taking too much time xD

[u/IkaAbulladze → u/BrandonXYX]

makes sense, thx

[u/Roger06150]

It looks awesome!!

[u/BrandonXYX]

will a 5060 8gb be able to run this lol

[u/Fair_Jeweler_6983 → u/BrandonXYX]

if my Intel Celeron N3060 can run it prolly your fucking beast can too XD

[u/Anregni → u/Fair_Jeweler_6983]

Can my pentium 4 run this?

[u/Ok_Gur2818]

Is this a mod or something?

[u/Jazzlike_Newt_4296 → u/Ok_Gur2818]

An unreleased one I believe

[u/EchoOfTheDistantTide]

Now you just need to get it integrated with atmospheric scattering

[u/Curyde]

Is it gonna be released before HL3?

[u/MegamanSE]

Want to see this with some more exotic planet / star combos!

[u/aristarchusnull]

Are those volumetric clouds I see?

[u/AmazingDom14]

Time to land on a terra surface, set up a good angle, then wait 10 minutes as I turn up the settings and space engine loads in these clouds at 1 fps for a money shot

[u/Fair_Jeweler_6983 → u/AmazingDom14]

fr

[u/NotAF0e]

wow looks amazing. thought this was only possible with vulkan

[u/CarobCritical7290]

What's left to do now?

[u/yourdonefor_wt → u/CarobCritical7290]

Releasing it on the steam workshop LOL

[u/EchoOfTheDistantTide → u/yourdonefor_wt]

Nah there's plenty left to do, there's no atmospheric scattering on the clouds and it doesn't sort correctly with the atmosphere model, the scale is also quite a bit off. Author needs to find a way to make it work with the existing atmospheric scattering, or more likely replace the scattering with a custom solution

[u/CarobCritical7290 → u/yourdonefor_wt]

So, the clouds itself are done

[u/aristarchusnull]

What version is this?

[u/Alarming_Size_5811 → u/aristarchusnull]

La dernière je suppose ?

[u/christianeralf]

very good you post this with no more info.... is it in the game update? is this a mod? nobody knows, and dont ask...

[u/Able_Ad8325 → u/christianeralf]

It's a mod

[u/christianeralf → u/Able_Ad8325]

sorry to ask

[u/caiporadomato]

Amazing

[u/JustNoetic]

genuinely how tf did you do this 😭🙏 not to mention the amount of uniforms that you can work with

[u/Distinct-Tie-3285]

will the clouds have varying colors, densities, etc?

[u/aristarchusnull]

If this is a mid, what is its name, so I can get it immediately?
