[WIPREL] Oblivion Graphics Extender : IV - Oblivion

» Fri Jul 13, 2012 11:14 pm

I read that the vanilla shaders can now be replaced in v3, does it mean that the night eye shader could be changed to a 'variable magnitude' one?
I have no idea to write or manipulate shaders though, and it seems quite a bit more difficult than simple scripting. To start with something simpler, if I wanted to create a simple shader that darkens the screen in a scale from 1 to 100, with 1 being no difference from no shader and 100 a totally black screen, manipulating the magnitude from a script, how should I proceed? Even a direction to a general tutorial would suffice me.

If you want to program shaders you have to understand how Oblivion internally works more than anything else. I don't think you can learn real shader programming from scratch using OBGE as "graphics"-engine. Post-effects are fairly simple and I suggest the "EnhancedSeasons.fx" as a base-example.

I'm a bit confused... Could you explain why you can't make Oblivion's specular pass read specular maps?

There is no specular pass. There is an integral lighting formula in the shaders (Phong) and it's fed with specular-power (in the Phong-sense) taken out of the alpha-channel of normal maps. Without changing Phong, you'll always get Phong.
What you ask for requires changing the entire graphics-engine at it's core, and I don't have the source-code of Oblivion.

If that's the case then it just kicks in too early when using PCS. You can see a blue sun even when you're not looking directly at it.

It was a joke!

Great work so far! Make Oblivion look awesome.

Niceties out of the way, i'm having some oddities with the Sky.

This picture kind of shows what I mean, taken on a sunny day around midday. Above me the clouds are nice and white, but all around the horizon they are black.

Taken from Frostcrag itself, you can clearly see the strange colour gradiations.

Another weird one is during the early morning - an hour or two after dawn. If you stand on the bridge by the Prison and look up towards Frostcrag the entire right hand side of the sky (eastern hemisphere) is light - but the western hemisphere is pitch black. (It's more pronounced on a clear day)

Great work so far! Make Oblivion look awesome.

Niceties out of the way, i'm having some oddities with the Sky.

This picture kind of shows what I mean, taken on a sunny day around midday. Above me the clouds are nice and white, but all around the horizon they are black.

Taken from Frostcrag itself, you can clearly see the strange colour gradiations.

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2429/viewfromfrostcrag.jpg

Another weird one is during the early morning - an hour or two after dawn. If you stand on the bridge by the Prison and look up towards Frostcrag the entire right hand side of the sky (eastern hemisphere) is light - but the western hemisphere is pitch black. (It's more pronounced on a clear day)

Am I doing something wrong or is this just the current state of play with it? (Also have the HDR & POM addons installed)

Did you happen to install the Physically Correct Sky and then removed it at a later point? Cause BAIN fails to remove some files from the \textures\sky\override directory and that causes this effect.

These are are the files you'll need to manually remove:

I have this strange issue where if I activate a blur shader (I'm using the Crysis one) and the in game HDR option my screen gets blurred constantly even when I focus on something. Doesn't affect UI.

There is no specular pass. There is an integral lighting formula in the shaders (Phong) and it's fed with specular-power (in the Phong-sense) taken out of the alpha-channel of normal maps. Without changing Phong, you'll always get Phong.
What you ask for requires changing the entire graphics-engine at it's core, and I don't have the source-code of Oblivion.

Now we're getting somewhere... Is there any way to change how Phong determines specular intensity?

Sure. I don't like Phong very much though.

Neither do I, that's why I'm asking if it's possible to get rid of the rubbery, undetailed shine some things have that are supposed to be "shiny", which would be best handled by looking for something that looks like a specular map first before using an alpha's normal.

You can use the specular channel in the normal map for that.

No, I'm not going through this loop again... Would images be useful to convey what I'm trying to say here?

I got bitten by that the first time I tried it, so have got in the habit of removing OBGE, Shaders, Water etc etc in BASH, deleting the override folder completely then reinstalling. So no it's not that.

Ive been trying to install OBGE v3 with the new Wip shaders for the best part of the day now but I can''t get them to work..
I have tried it via the BAIN and manual way. The stand alone shaders all seem to work but the Wip ones dont. The readmes included with the wipz are not very clear on how to actually load the shaders into the game.

OBSE: deinitialize

No Shaderlist.

Its regenerating the ini now so thats good. But still no new wip shaders..

» Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:30 pm

Hi again. It seems all my friends are on an Oblivion craze so I figured I'd drop by again and say hi/maybe write a few shaders. No rest for the wicked, it seems, as you all continue to amaze.

Seeing that we've also made some strides understanding the shader system would anyone mind giving me a breakdown of the known shader pipelines? The HDR solution in particular is somewhat confusing as it doesn't really follow any others I'm familiar with. I'd like to get an Uncharted/filmic tone mapper in place but I'm not quite sure what goes where.

EDIT:

Ive been trying to install OBGE v3 with the new Wip shaders for the best part of the day now but I can''t get them to work..
I have tried it via the BAIN and manual way. The stand alone shaders all seem to work but the Wip ones dont. The readmes included with the wipz are not very clear on how to actually load the shaders into the game.

OBSE: deinitialize

No Shaderlist.

Its regenerating the ini now so thats good. But still no new wip shaders..

I had this problem too. The missing link is that the current OBGEv3 distribution ships with shader compilation disabled and doesn't tell you about this. Crack open your OBGE.ini file, and under the [Shaders] heading change bCompileSources and bOptimize to 1, then save. You should notice the difference the next time you run the game

» Fri Jul 13, 2012 3:21 pm

Hi again. It seems all my friends are on an Oblivion craze so I figured I'd drop by again and say hi/maybe write a few shaders. No rest for the wicked, it seems, as you all continue to amaze.

Seeing that we've also made some strides understanding the shader system would anyone mind giving me a breakdown of the known shader pipelines? The HDR solution in particular is somewhat confusing as it doesn't really follow any others I'm familiar with. I'd like to get an Uncharted/filmic tone mapper in place but I'm not quite sure what goes where.

EDIT:

Thanks that worked. Sky is a bit borked though but I guess thats part of the wip process ( sldsmkd has the same issue on the previous page)

. About the POM shader, do I have to take one of the .fx files out of the Shaders\override\includes\References folder and place it directly into the shaders folder? Same goes for the HDR shader, how do I load it up?

Same goes for the HDR shader, how do I load it up?

Just dump the archive contents into /Data/ like they say in the readme, though I think both need work before you'd want to play with them on. The POM implementation doesn't appear to fog right (leading to the 'dark' objects in the distance, as has been pointed out) and also swims like a motherf**ker on my box.The new tonemapper looks pretty good once you comment out a few lines in HDR006/HDR007.pso.hlsl; there's a few different uncommented adaptation methods in both that stack with each other and leave the scene sort of washed-out.

The sky, however, looks really awesome. There's a bit of an inconsistency with vanilla Oblivion weather whereupon distant land will be somewhat brighter than the sky, but in general they nail it.

I have this strange issue where if I activate a blur shader (I'm using the Crysis one) and the in game HDR option my screen gets blurred constantly even when I focus on something. Doesn't affect UI.

If you are using an ATI card go into the Control Centre and Jones around for a setting about optimizing surfaces (or similar) - turn that off.

» Sat Jul 14, 2012 4:32 am

Googling around I found that you're probably referring to Enable Surface Format Optimization, but I'll be damned if I can find such an option

EDIT
Had to disable Catalyst AI.

From that Skyrim fan inteview, "The PC version also gets higher res textures, larger render modes, and a bunch of other effects you can scale up if your machine is a beast."

Though I don't know what "larger render modes" means, I think I'm totally right to stay un-disappointed until the release~! (to whoever said it would be a total console port a few threads back)

Larger render modes means be able to play in higher resolutions ... I guess?
It's going to be the same way like it has been since Morrowind I think. As Todd has said before... all platforms will be forced to look equally good (in my opinion equally mediocre).

» Fri Jul 13, 2012 1:01 pm

Oh, higher resolutions, duhhh.

Yeah I don't know, I'm going to wait until I find out about those "other effects" before I give up on my dream of them going the extra mile for the PC.

I'm guessing view distances for different kinds of objects (like before), as well as shadow resolution. Can't think of anything more right now.

I truly hope Bethesda will add some nice looking feature for the PC though... :confused:

I don't know what version of OBGE Andoran is using, but surely it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UoTFPoAjTq4

BTW I got lost in previous thread, did someone found a fix for the black godrays ?
Even with v6 I still have dark ones coming out of treetops and roofs edges

» Fri Jul 13, 2012 3:19 pm

I've got it to work now. The only thing still messed up is depth of field. It appears as if it cant focus anymore so the entire screen is fuzzy.. Other than that, great work so far!

They only took OBGE as a base and developed it independant from the OBGE team (Ethatron, tomerk and so on) as far as I know.
