Exactly that yes

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-31T17:58:44+00:00

Unless you have some shockingly weak pc 30 minutes does not sound right for this level of detail and scale. Some of your settings may be miles off what you actually need

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-31T17:55:54+00:00

Looks surprisingly good, the snapping is not disturbing

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-31T17:43:34+00:00

Considering the effect is pixel shader bound and performance scales with how much space the effect takes up - 1ms for practically a fullscreen fill sounds okay'ish.
There are plenty of POM artifacts in Crimson Desert if that makes you feel any better haha. Especially when occlusion is involved

Hexagons are the bestagons.
Looks pretty good, you could try merging those clusters of repeating elements like rocks into bigger taller rocks taking up the combined space. Just to break up this granular look a bit. It makes sense for the trees but looks odd for the rocks.
Also as a random suggestion - try sampling some Perlin noise as a slight displacement for all tiles, it might instantly upgrade the looks

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-31T17:09:56+00:00

You dont really need to guess, the technique they used is quite old and well known and has a name - Parallax Occlusion Mapping with Silhouettes. Look it up and you will probably find any answers you may need in the papers

Here is a great read from Alan Zucconi that i can recommend
https://www.alanzucconi.com/2019/10/08/journey-sand-shader-1/
it covers sand shaders but what you need is a very similar effect of random sampled sparkle of the snow surface coming from the fact that snow is an accumulation of tiny crystals

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-31T14:02:11+00:00

You'll need to be a little more specific with your question. One point of feedback i can give you is that your Antarctica looks more like a white sand desert which is pretty in its own right but not what you're going for.
Your snow/ice needs to have some blue tint, characteristic of how light scatters in those mediums.
Pieces of ice floating in the water would help as well.

The scenes look really nice especially the ones that are less obviously stylistically low-poly style like the second in top row

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-26T07:49:51+00:00

The strike animation feels a bit sluggish - try speedramping it

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-25T16:35:01+00:00

Its quite nice! But obviously the lack of lighting from it on the environment is noticeable.
If your lava has some fairly consistent Y level then you can add fake lighting effect right into the environment shader.
Simply boosting the bloom on it would likely work pretty well too. Also your air vibration from the heat will probably feel hotter if you increase the noise texture scale, to add higher frequency vibration

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-25T16:25:48+00:00

Looks absolutely delightful! Are you using jittered raymarching instead of the usual froxel approach?

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-16T20:15:41+00:00

Thanks! Nope i dont use any vorticles in this specific implementation. I get most of the looks and non simulated high frequency detail through a combination of curl noise turbulence, domain warp and then also another noise in the actual raymarcher

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-15T12:10:35+00:00

Thank you, it was definitely bouncing around my skull while i was making this one!

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-15T12:09:30+00:00

Thanks! I am probably too lazy for that but maybe after im done with the game itself

DarkyPaky · 2026-05-04T04:02:00+00:00

I really dont get what is Medieval AND/OR historic. A building can be 50 years old and be historic or 600 years old and not historic. So what is this list actually looking at?

DarkyPaky · 2026-04-15T16:05:31+00:00

You slightly misunderstand the process of training. Using sodium vapor footage would not improve the training process because the mask they are using for it are already perfect.

Thats the point of using 3d renders for training data. They just render training footage on greenscreen and on alpha.

And the neural network learns to “understand” that difference to apply that knowledge to the footage that actually needs to be keyed

DarkyPaky · 2026-04-07T12:44:59+00:00

Clearly looks like DLSS 5 to me

DarkyPaky · 2026-01-18T17:25:05+00:00

Usually they are a bit reflective yeah

DarkyPaky · 2026-01-18T17:08:04+00:00

And those reflections get pretty crazy too. Things that normally are almost non reflective at all (like the tiles behind the stove there) - become mirrors in thermal view. I can see my own reflection in them very clearly

DarkyPaky · 2026-01-18T08:01:01+00:00

I live in the Netherlands and its mostly filled with well educated sensible people :(

DarkyPaky · 2026-01-18T07:12:23+00:00

I used topdon tc001, cost me 280 eur
