Can you please tell me your shaders and settings in the last shot.

Can you please tell me your shaders and settings in the last shot.

Distant land texture resolutions: 2048
Distant land mesh quality: Ultra high
Distant land draw distance: 17 cells
Minimum object size: 150
Distant blur: 2
Reflect: Nearby statics, distant statics, landscape
Antialiasing: 8x
Anisotropic filtering level: 16x

If I remember correctly, it was taken with KNX SSAO v09 and KNX DoF V12. Update shader variables, supply shaders with depth info, and supply HDR info to shaders are all checked, too. It was also taken with Connary's Vivec retexture.

Edit: Forgot to mention. I'm also using http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23606 by Phal.

No MGE shaders are used except phal's incredibly awesome watershader (w/o real waves) and sunshaft 0.2 (not noticeable in the shot). I'm also using ENBSeries v0.074g (for GTA SA) for color correction (desaturation + increased contrast + subtle brownish palette tint) and a bloom that fits my taste.

@anybody:
I'd really like to drop ENBSeries for good but I still can't find an equivalent MGE shader (or two) that produces such a nice color correction (as mentioned above) and gentle bloom. ENB is certainly nice and produces an almost negligible performance hit (at least the features i'm using). But I think it terribly annoying that I'm unable to prevent it from laying a blurry veil all over the scene (including menus and HUD).

Any suggestions would be welcome?

I tried one, it does what it says but I couldn't make the bloom work. It just produced ugly results, well, my substitute was uglier. I think I can go back recreating the bloom part with the new knowledge I gained.

But peachy has some nice blooms. I stopped using ENB a long time ago for Morrowind. I have 3-4 color correction shaders for my personal use. Mainly highlights, shadows, saturation alterers... I will release them in some near future. For bloom it is a matter of taste, I find truebloom 6.3 very good. And Gimp 1.3 is the thing made me stop using ENB. I am also searching for better HDR, I have one giving very good results but when I turn my head the effect breaks. I think I couldn't compress high and low luminance values good enough, and made it work only for balanced sky land images.

Here some test shots, land shadows are very pronounced could be decreased, new noise taken from Oblivion creating very lit lands, artifacts from colored underwater texture, some other problems...

Only one shot without sun. I am obsessed, I know.

[Courtney Foren]

Beutiful screenshots Vtastek! I must say I like "sun" the best! It reminds me, lowpoly rocks is ok, because rocks can be as hard edged as anything really! Sad Dof is playing tricks on it, it would be nice to see some of it's texture detail.

And it's hard not to obsess about the sun currently... It's so damn beutiful.

I wonder what we must do to make all other weathers as appealing.

[[Bounty][Ben]]

Right, first time poster here. I just started a new toon, and once I came out of the belly of the prison ship, and I just couldn't resist taking some shots.

http://img682.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=mgescreenshot6.png

I say, I don't understand what shader's do. I'm still new at MGE, so I don't even really understand what I'm doing as of yet. I just followed the basic instructions, no more. Well, you tell me. I think Morrowind looks damn good now, but I feel like a little kid cause I ain't got no idea what anything does in the MGE interface thingy.

Enjoy!

Low quality textures and meshes are unexceptionable. I should find more mods to change them.

I did tweaks on clear and cloudy skies back then based on real photos. I picked all photos with a volcano in them. Wait until I finish them all, and you will get it. Also lowering the cloud level or bending it to horizon is a must. The foggy horizon in distance is not appealing, as it looks the same height all the time.

MGE has some goals on graphics like outdoor shadows. I think we are very close to it. It is what Morrowind renders bothers me. I think we should do it so only creatures and NPCs are left for rendering for Morrowind. All statics and land should transfer to MGE. (And I prefer MGE to render activators in its system(which's base is there). For distance animations.) Then applying shadows to both areas won't be a problem. It just needs to create another camera for MGE from sun with depth info, and picking one shadowing system(preferably penumbra shadows ).

And another goal is to create normal maps via per pixel rendering, which also will allow to do,
cloth looking like cloth,
metal looking like metal,
wood looking like wood...

From shader driven material creation we can perfect them in time. But I don't know how to do it, but I know it passes through breaking all light info of Morrowind engine.

Vertex shaders to animate everything is another possible goal because it is easy on system and animations can blend nicely. But this one is far, but if it is done object motion blur(needs bone info) can be done too.

Normal motion blur can be done if one familiar with MGE codes look into it.

And I managed to alter waves of Phal's wavy water react to player. I tried to bind height to wind too, but I couldn't get the numbers right I think, if I knew what wind value holds exactly...

The offers of MGE is just getting started people...

@raistlinmajere8,
getting an HDR shader,
a bloom (optional),
if your system is good enough SSAO,
if you prefer DoF effects, DoF,
underwater caustics,
better fog,
wavy water,
that's all I can think of. Most of the links are in MGE thread's first post.

Click the wiki and library links in my sig to learn more about MGE interface and shaders.

This is hardly the right place to speak of this. But I do have to answer, I do think however continued discussion should ongo in MGE Topic.

As much as I love MGE I do in some ways think that to let MGE render everything up close is a brilliant idea and in some ways a bad idea. The system currently in use by MGE would not work for this since distant land and MW land use two different methods, the former only mimicing the latter. I also think it might finally bug down the system to much in many ways. A whole new culling system will have to be created. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I can almost not see the point. Another valid point is that we can't render collision. And we can't just place models on top of each other, we'd have z-fighting nightmare and double the amount of polygons and we can't disable them either as long as we need the collision mesh.

If MGE would indeed go so far to archive the above mentioned and other parts of your ideas I think it would only be proper to concider making MGE into a rendering platform for any game much like OGRE. however it might be a bit of a daunting task to rip MGE away from it's MW roots but it is indeed becoming that powerful IMO.

Potentially hooking the landscape to make a new landscape shader and also hooking already placed models are much more realistic expectations. As for shadows, that's a really tricky one. I wish there was a screenspace/depth solution, hehe, who knows maybe there is.

Sometimes the abscence of the sunshaft rays make it look like objects cast a shadow because of how the light kind of passes through on it's sides.

MGE's current features and shaders have already exceeded all my expectations, it's amazing that there's still more to come!

Any advice would be nice my sky seems just a little to bright on clear days in game.

Hmm, I don't know what's causing it then. To be honest think it was like that before MGE.

Hi, where can I get this shader?

knx_SSAO_v09

Thanks

Ati black sun bug. Check phal's sunshaft shader. It will draw a sun disc elimanating the problem and does what godrays shader does but better. Links are at the first post of MGE thread.

If you're new to MGE you should definitely try http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1045446&hl=. The MGE stock water looks so darn ugly in comparison.

Out of curiosity, what are you using in the way of shaders for these (if they are all the same lineup)? SSAO and Sun shaft rays I recognize, but not potential others. I am in the market for some good bloom and HDR to replace ENB =)

I'm using GIMP HDRBloom 1.3 on http://mgeshaderlibrary.wikispaces.com/Shaders?responseToken=04ed8e9f7c30c98d21d76784ef4a54dc page. It looks very nice and runs quite well. Also Phal's underwater caustics06a but you don't see that one in those screenshots.
