Some fresh testing pics.

Hey @blackrack any plans to release a standalone flare mod anytime soon ;) We Kopernicus modders would greatly appreciate it.

Not at the moment as I'm focusing on other things.

anyone got any configs for some cool post processing effects for non Atmospheric Planets/Moons? I've seen some around forums but without download.

How would this work exactly?

@blackrack What mod is the cockpit in the screenshots from?

Expand  

OPT, and I'm pretty sure that cockpit was discontinued in later versions or was in some kind of test build, not sure if it's on the latest release.

@blackrack I mean in terms of adding some fogging to the mun etc. Not realistic but very cool looking and cinematic. I have seen it somewhere on the forums...

Expand  

I started to use that trick with EVE, time ago in KSPRC (after start to use layers to simulate fake scartterings) to fake the surface shining on non atmospherical bodies. All packs were using that method in one way or another after a short time because is a "cheap" and easy way to reproduce those effects. But EVE was not designed with that in mind, so the effect was better at high distances than near: if you don't dim the effect rightly (to disappear at near distances) you get that "fog" effect over the bodies... fog which -personally- I have come to hate along the time.

Anyways, and IMHO, combining Planet Shine, Scatterer and EVE you can get that effects again.

But what I wish to see some day is something like this:

It is rendered behind the sky shader. Also, what am I looking at here?

Edited: now do this

Something like this is already done (see here) for the crescent shape, however the brightness isn't quite there yet. Of course setting it to something that looks good at night will look too bright during the day and vice versa, and that is because we don't have adaptation in KSP like the natural eye does. This could change however... In 1.0.5 I could never enable HDR on any of the cameras, it simply did nothing. But on 1.1 I tried it the other day and it seems to have enabled successfully and I even searched for all the rendertextures and saw a bunch of them going from 8-bit per channel to 32-bit per channel (which is required for HDR). I didn't finish testing because I was working on something else but if it works now then it could make that kind of scene and natural adaptation possible, as well as unlock a bunch of other cool effects like dynamic glow/flare from any bright objects (think rocket exhausts).

Also, now that I remember it I will add your suggestions for the lens flare as soon as I can.

Edited: Seems HDR is incompatible with antialiasing, and also requires editing the games lights to have intensitite superior to 1 and a bunch of other stuff so I'll just get back to it later.

How do I get the lens flare shader to work, when i enable it I don't see either the stock lens flare nor the scatterer flare, I'm running stock KSP with only scatterer installed.

If you're running OpenGL I probably can't do much at the moment, anyway, look in the debug log for issues or post your KSP.log file here.

As you know I'm a mac user, and the sunflare has not been kind to me. I can't seem to get them to work. Heres my output log and a screen cap... Im also using RSS and RO.

Yeah, It's probably because I'm on a Mac, which runs OpenGL, but thanks for the feedback anyway.

Blackraaaacckkk, I have a bug for you :D I'm going to point you towards this post in the EVE thread. I'm using the latest 1.1 pre-release version of EVE as well as the latest Scatterer (also the .shader file that fixes the black line on the horizon).

@blackrack: I added a few new shader params: 

cmr.material.SetFloat("_SunRadius", (float)(Sun.Instance.sun.Radius));
cmr.material.SetVector("_SunPos", Sun.Instance.sun.transform.position);
cmr.material.SetMatrix("_ShadowBodies", bodies);

Do they conflict with scatterer?

No I don't see why there would be a conflict.

So this only happens in map view right? Does this happen on a planet an active ship is orbiting or only when switching the map view to distant planets?

Correct, only in map view, but it happens on any planet no matter where an active ship is. The pictures you see in the thread are with a ship on Kerbin.

Weird, I can't seem to reproduce this, I only get a slight jittering on distant planets so I thought that might be it, nothing as big as the screens you posted though.

Strange..... And you're using the latest anycpu release he has on github right? The one from 11 hours ago?

So wait, this doesn't happen without EVE? Anyway I'm getting worse problems with the latest anycpu release even without scatterer and I'm trying to make sure it's not something wrong on my end before I report anything.

Well everything was working fine in the last dev release between Scatterer and EVE. Once I updated to the "shadows" update of EVE, that's when all of this starting occurring.

Alright, at the moment I'm getting issues with the latest EVE update (see here) even without scatterer but once it is sorted I will check this out.

If things are dark, you'll also want to fetch the shadows.cfg file.
