tianmen_mountain insane graphics (PBR)mod 0.11

-Tuned the trees to run better, but with more visible pop in. There is no way to adjust tree LOD distiance without repacking/rebaking

-Fixed more normals

-TreeFX test, not sure if i like this system, it's super jank even by CSP standards.

-TAA in ExtraFX strongly recommended otherwise TreeFX look terrible.

-UV2 is skins folder, game crashes if its moved to track root, so still no baked AO, use stock HBAO, reshade iMMERSE MXAO ground truth, or the hidden SSGI in CSP settings ini file.

-Use SOL, pure messes up texture gamma/levels it assumes multimaps, so pbr looks bad.

-Use the OLD screen space reflections model in ExtraFX, its less distracting when cubemaps update

-redid trees with 5 verts from 8 verts

-trees are now separate from main track file.

-vert count lowered by 2mil for better performance

-terrain is switched back to multimap for grass to work

use this ppfilter with SOL to get proper PBR

better uvs
mid poly details added
more signs
better displacement scale

PBR bugs out vao and grass. I recommend using reshade AO like Glamarye, SSDO or RTGI. Glamarye is almost free in terms of perfromance. CSP hbao looks ok but only works on nvidia cards and not in VR.

PBR on everything
New water shader with working caustics(finally)

Finally trying out new fupbr shaders on a few things, they are not usable until kseditor integration.

Lots of new things
1. road signs
2. mirrors
3. waterfalls

If someone knows how to make caustics work please let me know.

some progress

vo file needs to be renamed to tianmen_mountain folder name, you can rename it yourself no need to redownload that way.
