## Welcome to another new update for Escheridia, this one is a massive one, so sit back, strap in and get ready for what might be a giant changelog # ---Lighting--- * Improved lighting across the board, making it feel less awkward and more natural at all times of day * Sunrise/Sunset - new warm lighting at sunrise and sunset, making it feel more cozy than before. * Daytime - Lighting is now much more balanced and less blue hued. More shifted towards a yellow tone * Nighttime - Didnt change much however its a bit darker now * Water lighting recieved a few adjustments as well * Adjusted the lighting of water to make shadows visible on its surface, as well as underneath * Vanilla texuture now renders at certain angles, allowing for cleaner visuals without a normalmap * Improved specular highlights * Specular highlights were previously rendered with the reflection pass which resulted in their color (primarily on metals) to look incorrect.  # ---Atmosphere--- * Many changes have been done to the atmospheric effects to enhance your immersion within the world! * Upgraded the sky model completely * Sky now supports MIE scattering around the sun. The sun will now displace the colors around it in the sky * Improved the colors of the sky to feel far less uncanny like in previous versions * Upgraded the fog model * Added an atmospheric fog to the environment * Fog is influenced by the sun MIE scattering * Fixed various issues with fog rendering over metals. they should now render correctly * Added a new indoor/cave fog. It *mostly* smoothly blends between the outside atmoshpere and cave fog (it is a little strange) # Resolved an issue with night fog being an incorrect brightness with the sky # ---Materials--- * Improved sky reflections on metals * It now behaves a bit more accurately for how it should look * Updated sky reflections to include the sun MIE scattering and atmospheric fog * Fixed an issue with reflections being slightly offset on water * Added new Perfomance option for SSR. It uses faster calculations at the expense of accuracy. * Added subsurface scattering. Leaves and more now allow the light to shine through them * This has both a hardcoded and resourcepack mode. Currently you cannot mix labPBR and Hardcoded * Reintroduced hardcoded emissive materials. These will now be in use if resource pack mode is set to hardcoded * Added a new option to utilize hardcoded or labPBR materials * Added a hardcoded metals option (not functional atm).  # ---Post Processing--- * Added Bloom * currently bloom is non-configurable * Added options to control contrast, saturation and brightness but they are currently not functional unfortunately. ## And thats all! sorry for the potentially long read but this update was huge. Please jump in and give it a go!
