  • This new version implements various improvements to the terrain system, SSR, FOG and the volumetric rendering. The new terrain module includes a new LODs system, improved puddles and a brand new parallax shader to highly improve terrain surfaces. The SSR overhaul bring a much stable effect thanks to the new temporal accumulation and blur support. Volumetric effects are also improved with a big performance boost and smoother results without banding. You can check the full change-log on ModDB.

      Is why so many people are amazed by graphics of games made on the gzDoom engine, they think is literarily the original doom engine pushed to the limit, when in reality gzdoom is a ultra modified doom engine with many modern features.

      If you are talking about number of subscribers, views and likes, then this is most likely because the majority, in principle, are not interested in mods, play games by default, and have no idea that such improvements exist. Plus, to develop the channel, you need to organize review podcasts with other UA-camrs, notify about progress of development, such as the creator of SoC Update, so that as many people as possible want to follow the development of the project and understand what goals are being set and achieved. Growth need TG, Patreon or Boosty, perhaps Twitch with streams some times, a mention on big channels lik OperatorDrewski. Considering the absence of this entire media component, it is quite natural that the amount of attention and people involved in this cool mod now gives you such an impression. In addition, Stalker niche itself is special; UA-cam usually publishes clips of funny but meaningless memes, and not such content, even if graphically presented at the highest level like art, so this is normal. This is that rare precious pearl that few have found and its value is only emphasized by this.

      ​@@WithoutNumbers Yeah... I prefer to use all the time I have to develop the addon instead of talking about it, I continuously forget to upload and show a lot of my work to create movement on the channel. Some times I simply don't share things to keep it like surprises for the release or because I'm to busy working on the addon. I know is not the best way, but I'm a dumb introvert and I like things this way.

      @@ascii1457 Everything is fine, there is nothing stupid about it, after all, everyone has a different character and sense of themselves in the world. These are just completely different types of activity, they are not for everyone. Ultimately, doing what you like will bring more benefits and any abuse of yourself can lead to burnout. I think most modders of this level have a more technical mindset, preferring to spend time on the work itself, rather than endless conversations and video editing. I like your videos, everything here is clear and every time I am surprised at what has been achieved, keep up the good work!

    I'm absolutely loving this new update, thank you for making and updating SSS, but i was wondering why the new terrain module lags the game so much, like i lost about 25-30 fps from it on average, ik that its optional but i really like the improved puddles and lods, but not so much on the parallax shader (texture sliding and the ground constantly having little mountains in areas where its supposed to be flat) i was wondering if it was possible to separate those? to to reduce the lag and bad looks of the parallax

    • @ascii1457

      The upgraded puddles are thanks to the parallax calculations. Sadly, old/discrete GPUs tend to struggle with Parallax. Maybe in future updates I will improve the basic puddles shader with some improvements.
