Yeah I tried it at 1x and it is delicious, by my laptop 3060 wasn't too happy about it. Hopefully I'll be building a future-proof PC soon with a 3090 to start so that luxury will have to wait. Side note: Installed KSP again soley to run ray marched clouds and I forgot how CPU intensive KSP is just in general, especially with paralax and multiple parts in play (nothing to do with the clouds) but it reminded me it's time to upgrade. Also @blackrack been meaning to get back with some reports but honestly I'm still working on getting my head around how how incredible these clouds are, like it's not just the visuals, but how it changes the entire landscape being explored. It's truly stunning. I found it funny I remember thinking how amazing it would be for the in-VAB/SPH clouds to be that good in-game, now they're literally better..

AccidentalDisassembly Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 @blackrack Looked great in the pictures, then figured... sure, why not, I've never patreon-ed anyone before. Result? Holy mother of pearl, it's a masterpiece. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just uninstall the existing mods via ckan (Scatterer, EVE, BoulderCO, AVP or other configs if you use them) then the manual install is just a drag and drop.

ssd21345 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Does/Will the volumetric edition has backward compatibility? So you can have both old cloud for non stock planet and good new volumetric for stock planet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 3090 based rig can just barely do that at 1080p and 60FPS... Fortunately, 4x is nearly visually identical at up to like 1440p in practice. The only real difference between it and 1x is very minor motion artifacts. 8x is also close, and very reasonable as a default for a wide range of cards.

dimdarkness0 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 A suggestion I have to to add more weather events like a tornado. And including the thunder cloud/supercell with it. It would be really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSACheese Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Blackrack, are you more focused on having a baseline baseline config, similar to the current version of EVE, and leaving the more complex configs up to the other modmakers out there (see AVP, Spectra, etc.), or do you want to make your own complex config to meet the standards set by mods like AVP or Spectra? I can already see that you're approaching aspects that weren't in the old default EVE config, like the sandstorms on Duna and rain on Kerbin, so I was wondering if you plan on continuing that further at all. Just curious Edited January 21, 2023 by KSACheese expanding scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious I want to go with what feels right to me for every planet, while also having a few memorable "landmarks" on every planet. Rain on Kerbin and sandstorms on Duna just feel like natural extensions that do just that. Many of the existing visual packs are a bit overstaturated with flashy layers and effects to my taste (and this is not a diss against anyone) and it feels like they lose that natural feeling.

EchoHeadache Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Joined as a Patron, still a little lost on the install process, hoping someone who has successfully installed this can explain. There are comments that other mods like boulderco which i deduced is the original eve needs to be removed, but the #1 post also says that configs from the original eve are needed? Doesn't detail where these go and being someone who's on vanilla with no understanding yet of how the mods are actually implemented, don't know how to move forward.

No configs are needed, remove everything and just use what's in the download. If you're referring to the forum thread, these are instructions to use the regular EVE-Redux with the old EVE configs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pxtseryu Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Joined as a Patron and tried installing the new volumetric clouds. They break for me and the entire atmosphere becomes black.
