They are not very easy to resolve. Antialiasing doesn't work very well in HDR when very bright pixels are next to dark pixels. Because when the GPU takes the average of the bright and dark samples, the result is still 'very bright'. The effect is also noticeable in some of the night pictures, where there seems to be no antialiasing on the edges of the street light lens.

EDIT: Actually this doesn't seem to be the same issue. This is more about reflections on edges and I guess you can see it in the public version too (maybe less so as you don't have such bright patches on environment maps). Anyway I don't think it's that noticeable, maybe worse if you are examining a screenshot.

I like the effect of bloom in the day when there are occasional bloom effects when you see the sun reflected in the window of a building, and when the sun itself is seen, flickering in and out of brightness behind some trees. I've found it looks best when moving rather than in screenshots.

i see a small video coming??
bloom looks nice indeed.

indeed bloom is very nice !
But yes, the lack of antialiasing or the lack of pixels used for the car are noticeable on screenshot.

Yeah we have to check a video!

A single screenshot is too easy to point out weird looking pixels.

The bloom effect seems very well tweaked for a start! many games like to exaggerate this effect which make them look awful!

I think those white edges are from the FZ5 mesh model, they are too sharp.

Quote from Scawen :

I like how the bloom works with highlights.

Why the rims reflect the sun in this prespective? Is that the new lighting?

so what you are saying is a more high res car model would improve the situation? *cough*.. OK

Even some tesselation might help?

About rims reflecting the sky where it shouldn't... maybe they need a separate shader.

Higher resolution cars wil be a must after all the efforts been done over the tracks ! But, after

It looks amazing!
I hope these white 'edgy' pixels are easy to resolve -

Obviously not a solution, but on a high-DPI monitor (say 4K 22") it won't be nearly as noticeable.

Maybe Global Illumination would be the "easy" but performance costing answer here rather than separate shaders?

Bloom is looking very good and not overly done.

maybe they needs to get dirty and non reflecting :O

Edited shot (1st image) - it would be nice if we can have a real-time road reflections too. Or just a static reflection of the road.

EDIT: Added a comparison of the dynamic reflection options in BeamNG from left to right (turned off, high quality and low quality).
And if possible to have a working mirror visible from the chase and TV / free mode camera (currently only visible in car view in LFS - 2nd image, the 3rd image is from the free camera in BeamNG):

Sorry for the double post.

Probably very irelevant question, but it got me so confused I have to ask - does the FZ5 have differently sized front and rear wheels (diameter-wise)? - In the video they appear to rotate at different speed (wheel rims get synchronised with the camera framerate at different velocity)

Sorry for off topic post.

May I say I am not impressed by these images? BeamNG is also at least DirectX 10.1 (they say 11 themselves), not sure if they make use of these library extensions concerning reflections as I have no idea what the differences exactly are but LFS stays at 9. And that will be fine, I guess.

hello why not allow the modding of cars not the community? (which you will have chosen and validated?) that could help you? there are pretty good 3d artists, what do you think of the cars that we see in the showcase videos with lots of nice car models in LFS?
this is a simple question, i think no aml of anybody would like to help you in this wonderful project

Quote from cargame.nl :

They are not very impressive, yes, thats why i said earlier the new graphics of LFS will be better looking overall than the BeamNG and it would be nice if LFS gets full dynamic reflections too (at some point).

weird : 911 gt3 996 phase 1 was 225/40/R18 and 285/30/R18 for 360hp (like FZ50), while the GT3 phase 2 was 235/40/R18 and 295/30/R18 with 381hp ... where are the missing 21hp ?
And by the way : why FZ50 ?

Doesn't that happen because the driven wheels (in this case the rears) are always going to spin with a certain velocity no matter what, while the front non driven ones just take more to spin at the same speed ? I don't know if what i typed here has some sense lol

Quote from Scawen :

Yes, the CPU sky is for:
- ambient lighting spherical harmonic (for directional ambient lighting)
- maximum brightness value (needed before the GPU sky is generated - see below)
- average sky colour (I'm trying to move away from any uses of this)

The GPU sky can still be stored as a 32-bit SRGB texture, doesn't need to be 64-bit HDR if I know the maximum value (from the CPU) before it is generated on the GPU. Each pixel is then multiplied by (1.0 / max_brightness) so the sky uses the full 24-bit range of colours.

Good way to improve memory bandwith

Quote from Scawen :

I'd sometimes like to be able to generate things on the GPU and read the texture back into system memory for analysis by the program [...]
But I think this is a limitation with DX9 so I've avoided using that in real time situations.

Yep, but you can read data from the GPU asynchronously with DX11. And you also don't have compute shader or HLSL 5.0 so you'll be really limited for path tracing anyways


Sorry for the late reply

Sunrise at Kyoto

Its beautiful!

Great!
