New Lighting with Better Foliage for ETS 2/ATS
Added 2024-12-09 03:46:58 +0000 UTCWhile working on foliage I decided to try implementing PBR lighting again to get proper foliage lighting (I changed a few trees with a new tree to do some tests), currently it looks promising but I cannot promise anything yet.
Because it depends on a lot of things. I think I need to implement my own weather - sky - day/night system to get best results.
I will try to replace all the foliage with better foliage and implement new lighting system to get best results.
I cannot guarantee anything but lets try <3

I noticed, it will be available via a dll. WOW!

2025-01-07 17:41:26 +0000 UTCWill that folliage be available?, Because I'm eager to try it. It looks amazing.

2024-12-20 16:32:38 +0000 UTCIt baffles me as to why SCS has not implemented full PBR textures/Lighting yet!?!? Anyhow, thanks for you efforts Snowy! It is very much appreciated!!

2024-12-18 11:38:50 +0000 UTCThank you <3 Try to reset game config and disable anti aliasing from game settings, also be sure HDR is disabled

2024-12-18 11:27:02 +0000 UTCI think I'm going to waste a lot of time talking to people if I start a discord channel, thats why I didn't do it yet :D
Snowy Moon
2024-12-18 11:26:18 +0000 UTCNice, thank you a lot, have fun <3

2024-12-18 06:53:02 +0000 UTCHello again and sorry, was my fault! Although I stopped the HDR manually in win 11 graphic settings, the "auto HDR" remained "on" and I didn't knew it. After turned me mad for few hours, I found it and stopped it and now everything is OK. Bro, your AWESOME TAA is the only reason to keep me driving my truck!!! Thank you! Happy New Year and best wishes! Love you bro!

2024-12-16 01:37:13 +0000 UTCHey thanks for the quick DLSS/DLAA update, the vehicle number plates are moving a lot less now!

2024-12-14 09:34:28 +0000 UTCHello! I've just tested the new TAA 10.2.15 on ATS today and the colors are very bad like painted picture with excessive brightness. I was forced to delete the files and play without.

2024-12-14 00:47:49 +0000 UTCis this out now ?

2024-12-13 13:45:13 +0000 UTCHey! First of all thank you very much for your work! It makes me happy. But idk man recently when I use your plugin the aa is like not fully fixed you know what I mean? There is a considerable amount of aliasing left all around and now I don't know how to fix it but can you look into it? I have installed the mod perfectly and have no issue there
Ishaan chandel
2024-12-13 08:36:46 +0000 UTCThank you <3 I just updated and made some improvements for DLSS/DLAA also fixed the license plate issue
Snowy Moon
2024-12-12 17:50:49 +0000 UTCHey Snowy, thanks again for your excellent DLAA mod, DLAA probably looks the best and really makes all the difference for me. I've been using your DLAA mod for over 100 hours now and in VR with 9k rendering and with DLAA the image just looks fantastic, no flicker or jaggies (except for power poles, power cables, bridge railings), it's ultra sharp (in combination with ReShade) and it looks like it's been painted. I couldn't play ETS2/ATS/AC without your DLAA mod. I might have a small point in ETS/ATS2, the car licence plates of the other vehicles sometimes move/wobble slightly back and forth, maybe you can improve something there. And what bothers me since the beginning of ETS2/ATS are the power poles and especially the power cables (sometimes also the bridge railings), where depending on the line thickness of the power cables and the perspective from which you see the power cables (power poles, bridge railings), they are sometimes displayed perfectly, but sometimes also extremely unattractive and pixelated, depending on the perspective. Perhaps you can do something about this. And yes, a better Fooliage is always good, especially if it works together with the Grimesmods and Weather3.2. Otherwise, a big THANK YOU, you really have created an indispensable (DL)AA-mod. Also indispensable for Assetto Corsa, by the way!

2024-12-11 15:55:34 +0000 UTCI like it, it's gonna look even better once the colors get worked out. Very good job brother 😊

2024-12-10 07:46:53 +0000 UTCI forgot to replace sunlight color, it was just pure white, updated images <3
Snowy Moon
2024-12-10 01:50:11 +0000 UTCcolor of this lighting doesn't look good. The sun light must be a bright white(with yellow tint) this looks like instead of sun there is a big LED light above us. The color corection must be done

2024-12-09 22:23:10 +0000 UTCOmg your work is amazing this looks superb 😍 👏 👌 🙌

2024-12-09 21:35:17 +0000 UTCI agree. I have both ATS and ETS and the stuttering from 1.50 is annoying. You notice it especially when it autosaves. It's not an FPS problem. I have an i9 9900k 32 gb ram and RTX 3080 and in 1.49 I had no problems.

2024-12-09 14:53:11 +0000 UTCUntil they sort the stuttering on some pc's im not enjoying the game at all - have tried everything to correct it but nothing works :(

2024-12-09 10:47:12 +0000 UTCLooks already better than the default trees well done. Only make the foilage thicker as right now it looks like more trees in the spring.

Dawid Nosek
2024-12-09 07:23:15 +0000 UTCwell, this look allready cool in beta version, i used your flicker mod for a long time, i know the results of your work are amazing, SCS still is not able to do it, but you did it with a small file, how come? since 1.50 version SCS started in order to make the game more realistic to implement some visuals with some dull boring colours, especially vegetation. Since the ETS2 engine is older than the ATS the visual impact is more accentuated. I always believed that ATS is far more better visual experience rather than ETS2, due as i said is newer game. So , for me, to make the game more attractive again i use RESHADE along to JBX GRAPHICS, its a shame i need to do that.....so waiting for your version SNOWY and thanks for your work

2024-12-09 06:16:32 +0000 UTCI just enabled scaling back and updated pictures <3 But still one tree replacing all of the trees so it looks a little bit weird
Snowy Moon
2024-12-09 06:14:26 +0000 UTCHi Snowy, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate everything you’re doing to enhance our gaming experience. Your work not only makes the game feel more immersive but also adds a level of realism that truly elevates it. I know this isn’t an easy task. It requires a deep knowledge, along with countless hours of trial and error. Keep up the amazing work! What you’re achieving here is nothing short of a game-changer—pun intended 😁.
Topo
2024-12-09 06:14:03 +0000 UTCIts using original rotation but I disabled scaling for tests so this is not a problem <3 They are all different trees replaced with same tree, thats why they looks same because mostly they are using rotation 0 :D So its going to be fine when they are all different trees :D
Snowy Moon
2024-12-09 05:36:54 +0000 UTCAwesome! Hopefully the performance hit won't be too bad.. In AC it's pretty mediocre FPS hit with a good GPU and Proper LODs. Also in your screenshots all the trees look to be the same scale & rotation.. hopefully you can find a way to match the 3D Trees model scale with the trees original in game scale (if there's a difference) & maybe add some randomised rotation so they look a little different. This looks amazing 😁

2024-12-09 05:33:55 +0000 UTCThank you a lot <3 .dll is replacing the tree models with new trees in game while rendering. I'm going to create unique id for each tree in game to detect by using tree/texture data, so I can make a list for each tree to replace.
Snowy Moon
2024-12-09 05:27:30 +0000 UTCThank you a lot <3 Making as .dll helps a lot to keep it compatible with updates and other mods
Snowy Moon
2024-12-09 05:20:38 +0000 UTCWow Snowy. I've done heaps of unreleased TreeFX mods & tree models (via SpeedTree & TreeIt) made for Assetto Corsa. Does this work by replacing the tree models in game with your specifed 3D tree model based on the particular tree type/model in the game? I'm asking because then it may be possible to have TreeFX for every tree model in ETS2 / ATS.. truly game changing.
Josh 872
2024-12-09 04:45:39 +0000 UTCAt first i was sceptical about it. There are plenty mods going around that take care of foliage, but this light looks very promising. I really like that you do these as .dll files so it doesnt mess with convoy servers. The TAA mod for AC does cause errors with some online servers where it just overloads my GPU, but that was an easy fix by disabling your TAA and use MSAA 8x instead, looks much sharper and less ghosting. Your TAA for the trucksims has safed those games for me .. The dithering on powerlines and fences was pissing me the F@&# off and SCS's TAA implementation is just not as good. Thanks for the effort. Keep it up <3
