blackrack Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I just fixed the blending issues (look at the stars near the horizon), ignore the artifacts in lower left, these are caused by some stuff I'm testing for the reflected light.Ceiling effect (non-smooth transition to space) is now also fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to downplay the truly epicness of what you've already done, but. That looks a lot smoother than before. Keep it up man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proot Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Looks insanely good Blackrack!!BTW, I've found a bug in the actual version, if you use it with Kopernicus mod. I'm not sure if comes from the Kopernicus particle system or if it is an issue caused by Scatterer's flare problems in the last version. I'll try to send you a pic ASAP.

Errol Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it has been featured at some point earlier in it's development on monding mondays already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garwel Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 When you are in the atmosphere and switch to map view, the sunlit side of Kerbin is solid blue. If you then turn/rotate view, a half-blue, half-black ball will be visible next to the planet. Is it intended or is something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proot Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sorry for the lateness... you know, RL.Ok, this seems to be a bit random, so I could not do a better pic in this "round":Seems like scatterer's black texture is interfering with the particle system of Kopernicus mod (used in the sun). Could be a bug in the camera order, but I was thinking too that this could be a problem related to the blending issues in the last version. So if you fixed it, don't be worried for this. We will see if this remains in the next version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun rendering over the sky or the artifacts on the sun?If it's the first it's definitely a render order issue, should be easy to fix but we'll have to see how the copernicus dev does things.

But I must warn this: if you don't have a high profile video card, effects are FPS eaters. Not worth it, IMHO.What is the exact problem?

But I'm not realy sure. From the sun, sometimes, the black texture seem to crossbreed with the particles. In other occasions the flare appears displaced and the sun particles looks well (despite the black blending issue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrack Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I managed to fix a problem where the water randomly disappears at some angles and when closing in on it so here's a little close-up:(don't worry if the reflexion looks a little low-quality, I have it set to lowest quality so this laptop doesn't burn up)There's still the problem with the water moving around but I'm working on it.engine lighting mod + ReShade (a pack of shaders not related to KSP).

I'm here, drooling for multiplanet, and you left us this marvelous!!!From the stock sea to that "low quality"... light years of difference! the water shader is static or have surface's animation? It's configurable?Sorry if I'm asking too much, but is simply awesome.BTW I like the visible near bodies feature. Maybe with Planet Shine mod you can get the dark sides back.Congrats man, huge step on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with Planet Shine mod you can get the dark sides back.Congrats man, huge step on.Thanks a lot man.The surface has animated waves, their speed and height is configurable. The water color is also configurable but the reflected color matches that of the sky and the sun has it's own reflexion. There are also some gridsize and resolution settings, these control the overall quality, I set those a little low so the reflection looks a bit blurry in my screen.The ocean looks and moves similarly to the one in this video but doesn't have that jarring tiling effect.Let's just hope I can fix the few remaining problems with it.
