## Here we go guys, here's a massive new update that addresses various issues as well as adds some highly requested features! For a small rundown we have various improvements to SSR, completely overhauled volumetrics, and CLOUDS! # Escherida V4.0 # Lighting ## Lighting hasn't seen too many changes but some things have been tweaked and adjusted * Moonlight should be far less intense on the enviornment * Tweaked skylight intensities * Tweaked sunlight intensities and colors * Early sunrise should no longer be bright pink and should now correctly be deep pink * Reduced moonlight saturation * Fixed an issue where SSS would be far brighter than the overall lighting at early sunrise/sunrise * Improved handling of LabPBR SSS # Atmosphere ## This is going to be the largest section by far as so much has changed * Added High quality volumetric fog option (on by default) * This option enables a much more advanced volumetric fog model that is far better than the old at a slight performance cost * Volumetric fog has been split into 2 options, basic and advanced. basic works for the old model, advanced for the new model. * Advanced settings contain height, density, and noise distribution options (noise distribution requires non uniform fog to be enabled) * Added volumetric clouds * comes in 2 styles, boxy and fantasy * NOTE: Fantasy clouds are sampled on a 2D cloud map so they do cut off at the top, there is no way around this until improved to use 3D maps. * NOTE 2: Clouds do not currently fade cleanly into the background, this will be improved in the future * Slightly adjusted skylight colors # Materials ## This is mostly going to cover SSR tweaks * Fixed an issue that resulted in SSR missing perfectly good rays * Fixed an issue where parts of the environment being reflected would break off of the main reflection and appear disconnected * SSR will now reflect the sky if no sky reflections are present # thats it for V4.0. This update breathes a whole new life into Escheridia and I'm happy for you all to experience it finally!
