Do you want a better foliage (tree/grass) mod for ETS 2 and ATS?

Foliage is the worst looking part of ETS 2/ATS for me but I'm not sure if its same for you so I wanted to do a poll.

Its not going to be a mod like other foliage mods. Its going to be a .dll file with new high quality models/textures with new shaders. I cannot replace the whole lighting system (because most default textures are incompatible with PBR lighting) but I can use some new methods inside shaders to improve the result.

Would this affect fps? I found that your anti aliasing increases my fps so wondering if this would affect that? Ps.. scs etc need to invest in you, you're an asset to sim games 👌

Diego Tavares

Yes! The models used by SCS are in low resolution (even configured for high resolution), it would be great to have more beautiful foliage.

Snowy Moon

Yes because its going to use higher quality models and textures compared to current foliage :/

jmarc

Will it be compatible with graphics mods like PNG or JBX ?

Angus May

Hi, love the idea, it would bring a lot of quality into the gameplay. Would this be compatible with JBX or PNG? Or is there a way to implement solution for compatibility?

Snowy Moon

I'm not sure yet, maybe? Because I'm going to use ingame data at runtime, depends but if its not working I can try to do a few things. Simplest solution would be removing foliage from JBX/PNG so it can detect default foliage without any problem

Still SCSSOFT hasn't resolved the flickering issue, I miss yours, maybe I'm wrong, Im not sure if you continued to release the mod, last time when I was in 1.52 game version you haven't updated the mod

Russell Forbes

was there a dynamic cloud thing that was in development? i'd prefer that tbh but any improvement is welcome

Snowy Moon
>>157473787

I understand it looks cool but :( * Looks worse compared to hyper realistic skybox * You can feel the movement of clouds when you are stationary but its pretty hard to notice while you are driving * Higher performance cost So I think its better to use skybox instead of volumetric clouds for driving games <3

Snowy Moon
>>157473787

But I also think games should use 1 or 2 layers dynamic clouds not volumetric but 2d clouds. I think this is the best way, I might do it but if I want to do this I need to replace skyboxes and make animations for 2d clouds

Better traffic is #1 on my wishlist, right of way rules would be nice.

Amigo65

Greate! Greate! Greate! Can't wait to use it:)

Mika Saari

eat it more fps than now? if yes I don't need any fps drops more

Adrian S Michael

I voted Yes, but in Vr idk how much visual impact would this have vs the performance. But I guess only testing it will show.

Mike Mahoney

Will that effect JBX ? Just saw the other post about removing that part of JBX.. ok..

Ivan Moraes

Boa tarde e quem tem uma placa de video 1050 TI vai poder usar sem problemas, votei sim.

Russell Spencer

Crashes for me in 1.53 also. I deleted the config file as suggested. Start the game, open it up to select what I want, then as soon as I close it, CTD.

I understand that the performance cost is very high, but could you make a downloadable version available? It would be really cool to use for photos. A demo version of: Volumetic Clouds - Devlog 4 and Cabin Lighting - Devlog 5. I don't mind bugs or errors, but other people might feel differently, so to avoid stressing about it, you could put a notice saying that it's not finished, so people don't complain.

This TAA plugin crushes SCS's trash version which still hasn't been improved at all!

Snowy Moon
>>157499772

Did you delete game config or mod config files, you should do both. Delete TAA config files (snowymoon...cfg) from "bin\win_x64" folder and delete game config then restart game

Snowy Moon
>>157482638

Because of overdraw its going to be heavy for VR, higher resolution = more impact on performance with higher overdraw but I'm not sure about the result yet

Snowy Moon
>>157473787

I think its going to look worse for photos compared to skybox because of lower details :/ Also it requires me to change lighting data from the game to make it look good, I was using PBR lighting when I recorded that video so it was looking fine with the lighting but now it will look weird without affecting the environment lighting

Adrian S Michael
>>157482638

Well I guess I can tone down the resolution and make a compromise as long as it looks good. Your TAA mod already made massive improvements on how the game looks even at lower resolutions than I usually use, so it may be a win anyway, I am eager to see. The only thing is, I know it will take work from Your part and I hope we wont dismiss Your work because of the performance hit. Cheers.

Snowy Moon
>>157482638

I might try to make a new billboard rendering system to reduce overdraw as much as possible without losing the quality but its a little bit hard

Onur Korkmaz

If you ever do this, would you consider adding Autumn, Winter add-on?

Snowy Moon
>>157536409

Yes, I'm going to add seasons but adding snow requires a lot of changes not only foliage

Anthony Batchelor

Hi Snowy wondering if you can help me! I have the DLSS plugin but when I try to use it from the dropdown menu it says DLSS is not supported what am I doing wrong?

Giang Luu

I don't think it's worth your time since the vanilla lighting combined with Grimes' season mods already creates a perfect combo. Any improvements should ideally focus on enhancing the lighting. Check out this thread: https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=337244

This is the first time I've used TAA, and after proper installation, it doesn't seem to load in version 1.53

>>157482638

Now it's become unusable in VR in 1.53. There's a transparent double image covered on my eyes. I'm waiting for fixing it. I can't play this game in VR without your TAA, thank you so much!

Pope

This is awesome bro! ! !

El Kamynante

Who doesn't?....No raised hands? OK, I guess we all WANT IT!!!
