[@SplittTwig]

Holy shit. Making postal piss graphics is massive im unbelievably proud of you. Good work

[@SplittTwig]

It looks so much better btw

[@LazarheaD]

We can call him the Pissmaster!

[@HubertBeckham]

Thank you Karl, the new piss graphics are truly something else and it's because of you.

Fr, how tf is one dude doing this good solo when cod has infinitely more money and people. Karl is the fucking G.O.A.T.

Hey y’all! I did forget to mention, these updates are still technically WIP and are subject to change. I hope y’all enjoy them regardless when the update is released! patreon.com/kommanderkarl

[@CrazyTech435]

I hope with this update i’ll see less comments about the 3 that must not be named being better then postal 4

[@LolmenTV]

I'm a 3D modeller too. I really like your all works! You will make this game so realistic. Your realistic effect skills are really awesome!

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Two dialogue suggestions for everyone to consider... Tossing something, be it an explosive, boomerang, thrown knife, whatever: _"Hold this for me..."_ _"Can you hold this for me?"_ Taking a leak: _"Time to drain the main vein!"_ _"Gotta drain the main vein..." (for that matter, maybe it can be incorporated to "shake" it afterwards, and if you shake it too much, either he or someone nearby says _"...shaking it more than twice is considered playing with yourself...")_

[@Gamer3427]

Just my opinion, but I feel like some of the explosion effects need to be aligned a little bit better to hide that they're an "effect" if that makes sense? Like the truck exploding at 2:51 the explosion shows up a bit too far out the front of it, and it's particularly noticeable as just being an "overlay" of sorts once it starts moving as a result. Maybe it's just me and because I was watching the explosions specifically though. I doubt I'd notice as much in game while blowing things up.

[@Mentelgen-1337]

all in all these look great kommander but... wasnt postal supposed to be the worse series ever? i mean postal 3 is their best game for being so bad the creators hated it.

[@jadethemarksmanwolf7020]

man. It is amazing just how much of a difference these (from the outside) 2 small things being changed. Actually makes the game look significantly better. Edit. I think it is quite appropriate to call it a night and day difference. Bloody beautiful work Kommander.

[@Daniel-be6cj]

I just tried disabling the tangent space thing on a hair material that looked sorta bad and WOW! Huge improvement! Thanks for going a bit depth on the behind the scenes stuff, spreading tips like that helps everyone

[@fuzzyhenry2048]

Karl. The leaves can have better subsurface scattering if you use Two Sided Foliage shading model. And If you remap the vertex normals of the leaf cards like a smooth blob sphere, the shading will be much more realistic.

[@galactic_overlord]

This means the leaf cards will be lit as if they were a sphere instead of a card? I'm new to graphics and currently learning.

[@fuzzyhenry2048]

[@DavidWeberRepair]

This is seriously a HUGE improvement! Night and day difference, especially with the foliage. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from Postal 4 and it wasn't even on my radar but knowing you're on the team and seeing these changes are causing my hype levels to actually increase lol keep up the great work!

[@Ben_19M]

i think some camera shaking when explosions happen would be a really cool touch

[@KommanderKarl]

Yeah we’re planning to add that in

[@spehhhsssmarineer8961]

@@KommanderKarl I think it would be hilarious if the giant taco on the truck would go flying straight up and then crash down.

[@llMarvelous]

@@KommanderKarl Karl, I have a question I always wondered, why every vehicle in video games always have several kilos of tnt 🧨 onboard (preferably in easy to shoot places) Thanks in advance 😂

[@ItsBofu]

The difference is phenomenal. I didn't expect awesome visual effects from a Postal game, but these are some of the most beautiful and vibrant explosions and flame effects I've seen in any game, not just a Postal one. The series has always struggled with making liquids (hehe) look realistic, and now they definitely do. Amazing work!

[@jamesxnickie99]

Adding your unique reloads and healing animations would fit perfectly with the comedy of the Postal series.

[@alexandrefillot9600]

I can clearly recognise your style with those explosions, they look just like they do in your vids!

[@vitaminme4203]

This is so cool to see! Don’t get to see many before and after videos from game devs and how much improvements are made when the right person is hired. Keep it up!

[@snakeeyes941]

Can't wait to see Karl added as a NPC to postal 4 that has a purposefully glitchy ragdoll animation when killed

[@Shinesart]

Great to see behind the scenes. I'm also learning gamedev so it's nice to know. RWS is lucky to have you since you are an 3D artist plus free publicity from your channel. Postal is over the top and the new particles fit that.

[@yesanameirequested1682]

Yeah, the new ones give the feeling of that "OOMFH," and it is somewhat more realistic, instead of the plain "boom" at the cost of being just boring. Like the old one feels like a png of a "boom" while the new one feels like you can feel the shrapnel going everywhere around you, the heatwave, the blast radius. Nicely done, highly appreciated.

[@Franshela]

Dude you fixed the piss. I love you

[@kendrickdo4319]

I do agree the visuals for the explosions and particles work very well for the new one. I wonder if it would seem a bit more realistic if there was those explosion screen shaking blur kind of thing

[@Revalopod]

Before and after comparisons are always great to see. I look forward to seeing more!

[@BeaniiBeguiled]

Wow!! Your work took those effects from mobile game quality to REAL Postal quality, amazing ❤

[@danoid7998]

That mushroom cloud on the explosions is so nice.

[@buzziamabuzzer4505]

THANK YOU for changing the piss into a normal puddle instead of a flat texture

[@battlesheep2552]

Nice, those are some proper BAYSPLOSIONS

[@puffinnotstupid2701]

Damn, you did an incredible job on Postal 4! I would be glad if RWS will add an flammable environments like in Far Cry 2, like burn down the dry grass or wooden buildings

[@AdamMerlin]

Whaaat!? I knew about your videos but I had no Idea you were THAT talented and had such a robust 3D background!?

[@sweatysocks8214]

I wasnt sold until i saw the piss. Now i now why they hired you, just amazing work.

[@VincentRoyceMorgan]

Postal being a hacky, janky mess has always been part of the charm for me. It's like the mark of a B-movie. I'm still excited to see you enthusiastically polish this game to perfection.

[@TerryElSquatchO]

The old particles look like the 90s to early 2000s limitation particles of postal 2 but the new once look like a modern game which postal 4 is a modern game so it fits a lot better.

[@terricon4]

Nothing like recognizing some of the particle effects being used as ones I've also gotten from the marketplace. Does an odd thing when you see stuff you know intimately well and can identify like "that's the one I was using on my X" or, oh, that was like the 4th or 5th down the row of the overview map they had in the Y pack".

[@leobrenes4917]

That looks amazing!! It's a brutal change. All your efforts are truly inspiring :D

[@ReprobiCrucesignati]

They look so much better now. Great job!

[@turkeyleg72]

Running with scissors truly have no regrets hiring you.

[@jojojodododo]

reminds me of the particle effects for hell let loose. good work man!

[@BossZnakemaster]

The new Postal update is awesome. Incredibly hyped to have you working for RWS.

[@ArnaudMonnierLeVrai]

Damn it ! Postal 4 is out since 2022 ! god almighty I watched your video and there I'm downloading it ! thanks bro !

[@shrippie-4214]

Glad to see updates I hope RWS the best

[@beerandgame]

Amazing!! I love postal saga, and now I playing the 4, and I regret nothing. I can't wait for more show impovements.

[@old_man_johnson9190]

That looks awesome I love the new particle effects I think the over-top explosions really add to the personality of postal 4

[@Erakius323]

Damm, these improvements are epic. Also, did not know Postal 4 was out yet. Will be grabbing a copy as soon as I can.

[@mindrage92]

Could use some screen space distortion on the explosion to get that compressed shockwave feel.

[@thegreendude2086]

The first Explosion looks so much more juicy with the flash of light, good job I didn't know you were a 3D artist, but I should have known considering your rant on the sky in red dead xD

[@gamingnova1453]

Bro the explosion and the piss updates are amazing and very very upgraded from the old version

[@DianaTaffie]

Yoo that's great! Amazing explosions and ESPECIALLY amazing piss. Bless you, chief.

[@Zkeleton969]

Vast improvements, especially with the particle effects. What else did I expect from the master, heh.

[@Aussie_Grunt]

Karl is just built different, doing the work that Running With Scissors could never do.

[@acat9710]

Karl never fails to rail our boredom from behind

[@kitsunemusicisfire]

The beauty of the visuals from the piss mechanic is astounding

[@denmarkball7728]

Just found u today. Congrats on the job and your achievements with postal

[@NoobPCGamer1267]

Im gonna play it again now, thanks for those amazing updates!

[@jacobscarberry4799]

Man, making it better! Great job KK!

[@gamercop2148]

This man just made Postal 4 1000x times better.

[@titanoboahunter9008]

I did NOT know you worked on the Callisto protocol, good job, i like it so far

[@akiray1999]

dude, you’re making me proud to have the name Karl? You’re killing it out here!

[@aced4fun]

Awesome that you're working on Postal!

[@DeadEnd1986]

This... is actually a real improvement. It makes the game feel much more powerful and the weapons more brutal. I love it, please keep it up!

[@danwhite3224]

Duuuuuuuude those particle and fluid effects look so much better

[@marzilv2849]

Honestly, this is fucking awesome, can't wait for the future of postal 4!!!!

[@merco001]

hey kommander. I like looking at boom. The explosions are good and funnily fit in Postal4. The one with the heli needs some twirling action. big retro realistic explosions Your work on the foliage did some major things NICE

[@PantherCat64]

Alright, RWS made the right choice, this looks so nice. Awesome work.

[@YOEL_44]

If you want some feedback... Make the vegetation textures more dynamic, they look just a bit flat. The explosions are great, you have given them a bunch of verticality, which is specially appropiate for fuel explosions, but ensure that hand grenades and molotovs also have some horizontal spread, they look a bit small, and the grenade could also have more dust and debris in its base.

[@dimsthedimwit600]

The explosions are done so well that the cars not flying into the stratosphere feels like a crime

[@trashcompactorYT]

Wow it’s insane how some shader and particle tweaks made the entire game look about twice as good as it used to. Thank you so much Karl you’re the man. I can’t even comprehend your talent

[@owlgoddess8534]

never thought i’d say these words in this order but that piss looks SO much nicer

[@guzzuanim]

You're way too multi- talented on these stuff sir

[@GhostyKingdom]

For the bigger explosions, needs some shockwaves for the oompf

[@bubz4196]

I think the most important thing youve done here is add significant dust clouds/bullet impact particle effects. It makes the weapons feel powerful

[@invisiblehearths]

I'm not super into shooter games, but I always appreciate touches of artistry, and I enjoy how your improvements bring an unmistakably better sense of a congruous place. Keep on keeping on!

[@trueredpanda1538]

I grabbed postal 4 very early, just seeing this now makes me want to see how much cooler the game has turned out! 😁

[@retrojacket823]

This is fantastic! Makes the game look less rigid.

[@KeshaFilm]

Fixing that disaster called "postal 4" is something that should be respected.

[@Blank137]

honestly was never really fussed about postal. but i AM fussed about karl, to the point where i might buy the game just as a thanks for being such a fun channel :) thanks karl!

[@Nephalen]

wow dude what a difference that made. Well done!

[@twistsnakeanklesvids261]

They thought they were hiring a funny skit mime and discovered an experienced and talented 3D artist, that might be the funniest and coolest way to get a job I've ever seen. :D

[@KeeKeeSteel]

I love how you made sure everything was as over the top as it could be also nice job on makeing the piss look great

[@flyingfirebear7270]

Love the improvements shown here, excited to see them whenever they happen to come out! The only thing I would say bout the game personally is I don’t like how the light reflects on some of the guns, for some it’s a lot and for some I feel like it’s not enough.

[@OutlawedPoet]

I've been holding off on POSTAL 4 for a while now but this definitely sold me on it. The particle and vegetation improvements showcased here (namely the piss of course) make the game look infinitely better. Well done.

[@Szalami]

Absolutely amazing job, I'm pretty sure RWS hired an amazingly skilled individual. Looking forward for more updates, loving it!

[@fedflintstone]

God I wish I was this talented. Great work!

[@mozxz]

I just hope they let you tweak some reload animation too, because you are so good at making them interesting

[@aegisrunestone5573]

Thanks for making piss look realistic. It's a highlight of the game

[@treefiddytwoo]

it's crazy how much these little details can enhance your experience with a game, they're definitely getting their money's worth with you!

[@-_YourAnimatorSavageAreLOL_-]

You are so damn talented man, they look damn *AMAZING!*

[@YouTubsel]

This looks great! Love to see some updates if you are alowed to. :)

[@MoonyB]

Excellet job!!! This is so wondeful and im very happy they employed you, RWS is one of the best out there rn

[@janelaincloudcroft]

Karl, I think you will single handedly save Postal 4

[@evilmonkeywithissues]

That is the most realistic simulated urine I've ever seen, and this is the most unrealistic non-simulated comment I've ever made.

[@thepopmanbrad]

gotta say its great to have you apart of RWS loved your youtube content and RWS is one of my fav companies even got the pleasure to be the first RWS server which has now been turned into the community server

[@IPlayGamesForLife418]

Thank you very much for uploading the "Signs you might be an NPC" video! I have now become a 10/10 npc

[@mistergone5156]

I loved Postal 4, nice work!

[@LiMirro]

Amazing changes, I really like it👏

[@TheSUPERWIND2023]

Karl you've been on a roll, keep up the awesome work! Hope that Postal 4 continues to improve!

[@merco001]

the original explosion from the small canister by the hutt, had nice gasy vibes, maybe integrate some gas radius air . The car explosion is my favourite, tell the devs they need to let the car doors fly away. your explosion is massive

[@januleosz9999]

amazing work, I hope you can fix postal 4 even more. the game just dont feel like postal to me, but with your work it's getting closer!

[@Mr.N3cro]

This game has SO much potential.

[@put1996]

You are probably the best thing to happen to Postal 4 since release, that piss physic and volumetric lighting is really impressive.

[@Topcatyo.]

Wow, there's a very clear improvement in the footage you showed. Great work!

[@helnerim9987]

that's really cool man, I loved Postal 2 so seeing you work on the 4 just makes the game shines more

[@ilDuderoni]

Doing the Lord's work. If the Lord was Loki. MORE CHAOS, MORE EXPLOSIONS.

[@Vermilleno]

Karl, they really need to fix interior lighting. In general this game has huge artstyle issue. It doesnt look like a cohesive whole, rather a mishmash clashing styles. It tries to be cartoony, yet strives for realism. Its weird. Nonetheless I appreciate your work!

[@seanmcdermott9608]

Holy shit dude, these are amazing!

[@lukabrasi001]

amazing how the better and warmer colors, better foliage lighting and godly particles can elevate the mood of a game
