ETS 2/ATS Lighting - Truck Rendering Improvements 2
Added 2025-01-15 12:56:33 +0000 UTC** Well looks like there is fake shadow for trucks too :D Thanks to @RubberDuck <3 You just need to set r_fake_shadows to 2 from game config to enable fake shadows for trucks and trailers. But looks like its rendering fake shadows before road lines, I should fix that to make sure fake shadows rendered last.
** New reflection system (SSR) cannot reflect objects that are not on the screen, when it cannot find an object sky used as source of reflection. SSR is perfect for first person driving but not great for inspecting vehicles.
This is a lighting mod to improve lighting in ETS 2 and ATS. It is replacing default lighting system with modern lighting methods. Coming soon...
Its not released yet. This is just a simple preview to demonstrate lighting changes.

I hope you can get to work on the PBR textures once you are finished with the lighting. I really need the sunshine :)

2025-01-16 11:29:51 +0000 UTCstop tormenting us and lets us play too Snowy!!! :) I would say the shadows under the vehicles are needed...in these images it looks like the tuck is floating. The rest is absolutely incredible!

2025-01-15 22:25:21 +0000 UTCYes, its default vegetation from the game https://i.imgur.com/L5o6ff1.jpeg - https://i.imgur.com/ki8U6LH.jpeg New areas have better vegetation and thank you <3

2025-01-15 22:07:43 +0000 UTCHi Snowy, please tell me something, is all the vegetation on these pics default/vanilla? Cause it looks so complex and many variation, besides your lightning doing an amazing job on top of it...

2025-01-15 21:42:24 +0000 UTCSeu trabalho é complexo e magnifico! Você merece uma grande recompensa por isso!! Eu amo esse game, e eu ja tinha deixado de joga-lo por causa de tanta imperfeição com a cintilação pela falta do Taa adequado, travamentos e todos os outros problemas.. Desde quando você trouxe a primeira versão do Taa, tornou o jogo jogável novamente para mim!! Você merece de muito bom por isso, e eu desejo isso pra você!! Eu agradeço por isso, de verdade! Seu trabalho, sua doação com este trabalho deu significado a este jogo, e para meu Lazer!! Muito obrigado!! Grande abraço! Saudações do Brasil!!

2025-01-15 18:20:05 +0000 UTCVolumetric clouds are cool but you don't even notice the movement of clouds after first 2-3 days because nobody is going to focus on sky while driving. Also volumetric clouds look less realistic than a classic skybox and perform worse. Thats why I am not going to use volumetric clouds because its actually not worth at all for game like this :D Sure its good for flight sim etc but thats all :/

2025-01-15 18:12:43 +0000 UTCLooks great! I was wondering whether your volumetric clouds project would also be included with this mod? Or is the Volumetric Clouds project incompatible with the current lighting?

2025-01-15 13:23:33 +0000 UTCNow it looks almost flawless! The only thing is, it seems like the area where the wheels touch the road should have the highest concentration of shadows, but in the screenshots, it sometimes feels like the opposite. Is that because the shadows are fake?
