ETS 2/ATS Lighting Preview 4 (ATS)

[@SnowyMoon_io]

(I'm planning to release a test version after I clean up and optimize it, probably in 2 weeks) This is a new lighting implementation, its not released yet. I'm currently working on other improvements. Then I'm planning to release it. I will keep posting updates on youtube channel and patreon page until its released. For some questions: - Performance impact? Its more gpu heavy than default lighting but its not that extreme. Lighting itself pretty cheap to render and most performance cost is coming from SSR and SSAO. Which will have quality settings to improve performance. - Is it free or paid? I'm planning to keep it free if donations are enough after release, if its not enough its going to be 1$/month subscription (you don't need to donate/subscribe before release). - Sunlight? This is using PBR lighting but game doesn't have PBR textures so it doesn't look good as perfect PBR lighting. The problem with sunlight is calculations make it worse when used without PBR textures. So sunlight looks worse with PBR lighting because of lack of PBR textures for objects in the game. For now I'm planning focus on overcast and rain. To add sunlight I need to somehow convert default textures to proper PBR textures. I can try to do that later but its hard to do because it depends on surface type. -Night? To add night I need to replace lighting system for each type of light, I will do it later but currently its daytime only. - Using with other mods/TruckersMP? This is a .dll plugin like TAA, you can use with any mod you want. - VR and multi monitor? Currently it doesn't work because I don't want to spend time on that but after everything is ready I will implement for VR and multi monitor. - When it will be released? I'm not sure yet, I have 2 things left to do. Realistic rain and weather, then I will prepare everything to release.

Snowy, seriously, stop trying to trick us with real life footage, we want the gameplay 😂, amazing work, looking even better with ATS assets, thank you for putting your efforts on this project, anxious to see how the new clouds will look like when it's ready

[@AP_101]

I can't wait for this!! 🔥 🔥 Screenshots with this lighting will be impossible to distinguish from real life pictures! Great job Snowy!

[@JimmySlacksack]

looking better and better!

[@DaveThuet]

I can't wait...

[@SparlsOfficial]

Absolutely incredible. I love seeing the progress on this mod it absolutely blows me away

[@reloaddd]

It's incredible how just one person can radically change the impression of a game that is being developed by a whole team of developers, it's a tremendous job, low bow to you (btw, the motion blur looks awesome :)

[@badcompany3704]

This looks amazing I'm glad i came back and started using your mods again can't wait to try this out amazing work

[@ianmatthews276]

I hope SCS is taking notes!

You must be god and not just an human devoloper with many years of experience. Please never let us gamers down. Thank you for the video! :)

[@MoiDj22]

That looks amazing!

[@thebobsta4658]

Omg amazing work, can't wait for release absolutely brilliant 👏 🙌 😀

[@orlandojacobs4828]

Man oh man wow keep up de amazing work brother 👏 i love it

[@rayansyed151]

Quick question could this be paired with other graphics mods like PNG OR JBX or both? Amazing work by the way! Would pairing the mods together make the game look better worse or just break it all together

[@SnowyMoon_io]

You can use with any mod you want, but weather and lighting will be handled by this mod no matter what. This is a .dll mod like TAA

[@rayansyed151]

@@SnowyMoon_ioah okay that’s very interesting should be fun to test out on different graphic mods for results thank you for your answer!

[@RobKohinoor]

Very nice in ATS as well 👍‼️

[@alphadev]

Looks pretty good, shame it won't help with night. I don't know why the lighting in ETS2/ATS is so jacked up, sometimes I can't even tell if the vehicle in front of me has its turn signal on. I've had to bind the zoom camera function to a controller button so that I can read the road signs and see the traffic lights sooner.

[@SireDragonChester]

Very nice. Looks Promising. What Gpu hardware you running on RTX 3xxx or newer? Just wondering. Thanks

[@SnowyMoon_io]

Thank you

[@SireDragonChester]

@SnowyMoon_io Haha nice. I wish could afford 4090. A 3090 here in Canada still going for $2200+ or more last I check. And even 6900xt to replace my old GTX 1080ti is still anywhere $900 to $1200 Canadian. Of course new. But this does look good. Always wonder what ATS would look like if they actually added RT for it lol.

[@SnowyMoon_io]

@@SireDragonChester the changes are not that heavy, I'm running at 4k 120fps with only 50% gpu load and everything maximum without optimization yet

[@lucianooriel25]

Why is there never any sunlight? It always seems to be a cloudy day.🤔

[@SnowyMoon_io]

Can you read the pinned comment maybe 🤔

[@lucianooriel25]

@@SnowyMoon_io Yes, I already did. Thanks.

[@thebobsta4658]

Can i ask what scaling are you running this its beautiful lol, i normally run on 300/400 scaling anyway?? 😅

[@SnowyMoon_io]

Its 100% scaling

[@thebobsta4658]

@SnowyMoon_io 100%? wow you must have a powerful pc lol, great work my man 💪

[@thevillager8102]

MAN you are GOD🎉🎉🎉

[@SirWolf2018]

Can we see sunshine too? Or doesn't that change much?

[@SnowyMoon_io]

Please read the pinned comment

[@lukebraddford3287]

Will your current TAA mod still be available or will it be shutdown? I have it running perfectly with Pimax VR on your current version and would like to stay on it. Thanks for your work!

[@SnowyMoon_io]

It will be available as always, I will release a second mod including TAA + lighting improvements

[@velcruze4255]

The mod will be free to use?

[@SnowyMoon_io]

"- Is it free or paid? I'm planning to keep it free if donations are enough after release, if its not enough its going to be 1$/month subscription (you don't need to donate/subscribe before release)."

[@lcgameroficial13]

maravilhoso trabalho.

[@elkamynante]

Looks awesome indeed! Cristal clear. But I think (because you understand those "things") you'll have to show us also how to configure the nVidia Control Panel and in-game Settings! I'm sure more than one would greatly appreciate that! Me first!😇

[@SnowyMoon_io]

Thank you

[@pumpkinking23]

Making scs's work look horrible compared to what your doing.... Don't understand why SCS can't do anything right ...
