JF-Mir2: all of it, its captured with almost perfect timing

yeah the sky box was a breakthrough.. but somehow (on mine) its lock in game time at 12.00...

jengsebong007: hmmm...that strange, its usually work that way on mine but well i recently use Marty's master effect. It seems enable FXAA by default, maybe you'd like to give it a try

@Jengsebong007: which graphics card do you have? and which effect.txt do you use?

@adoel488 : of course, the CLEO script which is included with it does that. Because the sky looks like crap with this texture on other times, e.g. imagine these clouds at night or at rainy.

adoel488, okay. I'll try it later.

Marty, i have Ati 3450hd. That's graphic card so slow and i used this effect. (i know this effect.txt has no FXAA)

*code removed*

Nah you understood me wrong, I didn't want to check if your effect.txt has FXAA, I wanted to check if your effect.txt has Sharpening which reduces the smoothening of FXAA.

Scroll down to this:

float Amount = 0.7; // Strength of sharpen, higher values = more sharp images

float2 offset = 0.6 / InputSize; // Offset value for sharp effect, lower value if images looks slightly off-centre.

The sharpen code of DKT is heavy, that means these values are real intense, set both to 0! The sharpen increases the aliasing, the jaggy edges the AA wants to cover. Also the horizontal screen size is set to something which is lower than your actual screen size which also makes the effect stronger. No wonder you never saw any effect of FXAA, no AA is powerful enough to cover a such intense sharpening.

btw @MrMateczko I think you may like my new timecyc which is about 40% finished, looks good also without ENB:

Can't wait.

Will the new supposedly way better than ENB, SA:Render be better for low end GPU's? Dynamic clouds and stars do sound awesome.

I think so. I have full fps, though SSAO option drops fps very hard. The deferred shading works good, only problem is that buildings don't drop shadows but their side which isn't facing to the sun is darkened. It has something like ENB bumpmap but not the ugly gloss, it's like normal mapping now and it creates them itself so you don't need additional textures. It is pretty buggy yet but I think petka will fix this.

Dat smooth shading

btw now it has GTA IV-like ambient color control. that means ambient color 1 and 2 are used for direct color and shading color.

MayorMods Don't quote the whole post please.

Marty McFly I don't see much difference, if you show 2 photos, one with it and other without shader, maybe I can see something

CreatorCreatureSpore nice !!

Just 1 photo, I don't have time for more, and I'm making a new San Andreas, because previous one had a problem on gta3.img

seeker123, yeah, nice timecyc. How did you get it? Is it from Marty?

CCS, wow! Love your DOF.

Beenja, nice one Beenja!

Hehe, thanks a lot Marty. I think I have reduced the jaggy line.

Btw, how can I remove the sharpen effect from the shaders?

Here's my screenshot:
