[WIP][1.9.x-1.12.x] Scatterer-atmospheric scattering (0.0838 - 14/08/2022) Scattering improvements, in-game atmo generation and multi-sun support

JackDugan · April 21, 2015

I bet that not only the average KSP player could use this, but KSP modders could use this as well to create some much better visuals. I just tried out the new config, and it looks awesome!

Holy ****! That is awesome!!!!!

Amazing work here blackrack! Can't wait to see how this develops!

Has anyone seen these lines?

I'm on linux mint.

I keep getting this when I use the Eve haze config:

It's fine on the surface though.

The atmosphere isn't translucent, it's an opaque layer that covers the whole sky,

Any plans to get it working as a translucent sky in the future? This sounds like it won't allow us to see the stars at night, along with Distant Object Enhancement showing us other planets and orbital stuff whizzing around Kerbin.

I actually liked the old config in the first set, and the new config in the second. When I used to live in the mountains, I found that you lose the visual detail when the mountains are far away, they just appear as purple silhouettes.

like so:

I prefer the old one too, but from space, it will maybe better if the kerbin's atmospher seems less thick

Whatever, it's a beautiful work you're doing with this mod

(Sorry for my english, i'm french ^^ )

Jeb and Bill loved scatterer when they were waiting for rescue after crashing the plane

Blackrack, I find that manually incrementally increasing Postprocessing depth, from 150 on the surface to 1500 on LKO, give the best effect.

In LKO and keeping the variable at 150, the planet seems enveloped in haze/smog, while that same setting on ground level gives a really good effect.

Would it be possible to make it scale dynamically vs altitude and have a min/max variable setting?

OpenGL has plenty of artifacts right now.

Not sure what it could be, either you're using opengl or one of the many mods you have installed, plus you seem to be above the altitude where things mess up.

You can already see the stars at night.

I had the same observation the other day. It would definitely work but I'm still experimenting and looking for a more elegant, all-around solution. I would implement it if Ic an't find anything better.

Is there a possibility to hide the window permanently? The Scatterer config windows pops up after every scene change ...

Gkirmathal · April 22, 2015

@Blackrack, a few days ago I reported a bug and posted that screenshot showing circles in the ocean render.

Well I just did a clean KSP install, in prep for 1.0, tested it with only Scatterer mod installed. The result is the same:

It really looks off and gets more obvious the higher the altitude.

Could this be driver related? As I'm using an AMD card (HD5770) with catalyst 14.10 (not the newest I know).

Edit:

Played a bit with the settings, but none mattered, only PPD lessened the effect a little. Might it be something in KSP?

Those look like oil spills...you sure you don't have the BP oil mod installed?

j/k

No idea what this could be. What are your graphical settings in KSP so I can replicate this? What is terrain detail set at?

Also, if you have aniso, AA or anything funky forced through the drivers try to disable them.

Already deleted my driver KSP profile, to rule that out.

Toggling off post processing, removes the circles btw.

Is there anything else I could test?

It seems I might need help with this one, I've been trying to fix the bug where the sun and the atmosphere effect seem to not to keep up with the camera.

The effect is always running one frame behind no matter what, it is especially jarring if you're getting low framerates. I tried to move the drawmesh() call thingy up to the start of the update function, before the shader is updated with the new frame parameters to see if it will start running behind by two frames. I boot up KSP, limit framerate to 5 fps and... it still runs behind by one single frame, so no matter where I put it, it still gets called before it's parameters are updated.

I tried making a specific lateUpdate() function that would only have the drawmesh() call in it, I tried using a classic meshrenderer, I tried using drawMeshNow() in a script attached to the camera but nothing helps. If anyone have any ideas I'd really appreciate it.

Already deleted my driver KSP profile, to rule that out.
Toggling off post processing, removes the circles btw.
Testing with these KSP settings. Think
Is there anything else I could test?

You could try just changing the settings at random, or as a last resort installing a different driver, I really have no idea what it could be.

Read up on the different update passes here: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html

Specifically OnPreRender and OnRenderImage (this last one is mentioned specifically for post processing but you may also want to look to moving some code to OnPreRender. I haven't looked at your code very closely so I'm not sure if that's necessary or not, but I'm thinking for the post processing effects that Update might be too early and LateUpdate might be too late to process the image so it will end up not showing up until next frame)

DEFINITELY avoid FixedUpdate which only runs... 50 updates per second and is used physics and game updates or other non-graphical updates.

I will give it a read, thanks. I have to mention though, the postprocessing runs fine (I did set it up with a camera's script using OnRenderImage since it's the only way it'd work). It's the sky that lags behind, I will try setting up the sky so that it runs this way, but, should the shader parameters be also updated inside OnRenderImage? I'm guessing they should.

Edited: Wow, such a simple fix, and it worked so well. You're awesome Starwaster!

Glad that worked for you! Did you do the parameters in OnRenderImage too?

Yeah I did.

How do you install this? Sorry for the dumb question.. :/

Download the scatterer archive from KerbalStuff, then drop the 'scatterer' directory from the archive into your KSP installs GameData directory
