Graphic&Shaders wip

[Incredible Hulk]

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!
It's anywhere near production ready but to involve more people I released the Playground mod.
Marketing pictures are great but there are numerous glitches and bugs.
@holacrosty already did something similar for GTR2 and anyone else with more experience or just willing to help more than welcomed.

Race_07/Evo default look

Race_07/Evo with Reflections Mod. Thanks @GTR233

Race_07/Evo with Reflections Mod and forced calls to SRPL_25 shaders in DIFFUSE.GFX, BUMPMAP.GFX, CUBEMAP.GFX and SPECULAR.GFX

The ugly - Race_07/Evo with Reflections Mod and Custom BlinnDiffuse shader for DIFFUSE.GFX (BUMPMAP.GFX, CUBEMAP.GFX and SPECULAR.GFX with SRPL_25 shaders)

Some custom mashup blinndiffuse shader. Race_07/Evo with Reflections Mod and Custom BlinnDiffuse shader for DIFFUSE.GFX (BUMPMAP.GFX, CUBEMAP.GFX and SPECULAR.GFX with SRPL_25 shaders and all cleaned from calls to DX7 & DX8 shaders)

This @AndreasFSC track updates for his Reloaded Shaders bring magic to old tracks so I higly recommend those even if you use default shaders.

Also, often forgotten, cause there is no ingame option for changing the time of the day, Race 07 has built-in weather lighting and easy editing .gdb files (track updates has .gdb files editable or wtcced if necessary) can bring new life.

Revenge of the Headlights!

 

[AndreasFSC]

Did you also add omni-lights or spotlights to the cars?
I was planing to continue the experimenting with spotlights

Do they work, just couldn’t get spotlight working
What’s the exact code example for spotlight?

 

[AndreasFSC]

Spot lights are generally disabled "//" in the vertex shaders, so I think that's why they make no difference.
Haven't tested much yet, but used track omnilight code. Some progress was made, but had problems with lights values being out of range resulting in flickering and inverted materials, even if I limit values...

Light=NightLight01
{
Type=Omni Pos=(0, 0, 0) Range=(0.000000, 40.0) Active=True Intensity=(1.22) Color=(210, 235, 255)
}


The (usually) disabled spot shader code:
#elif SPOT == 1

// Compute spotlights
float4 spotColor = (0,0,0,1);
float3 worldNorm = mul (worldMatrix, inNorm);

//for (int i=0; i<numActive.y; i++)
for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
{
// check backface
if (dot (worldNorm, spotDirCone.xyz) <= 0)
{
float3 spotToVert = worldPos.xyz - spotPosRad.xyz;
float mag = dot (spotToVert.xyz, spotToVert.xyz);
// check if vert in range
if (mag < spotPosRad.w) // using square distances
{
// check if vert in cone
mag = dot (normalize(spotToVert.xyz), spotDirCone.xyz);
if (mag > spotDirCone.w)
{
float intensity = (1.0F - ( mag * spotRGBDelta.w));
spotColor.rgb += (spotRGBDelta.rgb * intensity);
}
}
}
}
Out.Omni = spotColor;

 

[Incredible Hulk]

I just thought that flickering when there are many lights is due to my gpu and that disabling auto performance would fix it .
With one light added to car .cas file and only one car on the road it works perfect without any flickering or lights turning on-off.
Not at the comp currently but could rising .trk clip values to (0.5, 999000) like in GTR2 anniversary could fix it?

Edit: and is this line
for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
Limiting spotlights to 4?

 

[Incredible Hulk]

Also this additional lights spec like fallooff from rf2 docs work it seems.
Well, at least it doesn’t throw errors.

Type=Spot Pos=( 0.678, 0.535,-1.958) Dir=(-0.05,-0.15,-0.99) Range=(0.0, 400.0) Active=False Attenuate=(0.25, 0.25, 0.0005) Hotspots=(1.0, 150) Falloff=(25) Intensity=(12) Color=(255, 247, 238)

 

[AndreasFSC]

Yes the limited number can be a cause, don't know how the limited number of lights is calculated, if it is the number of lights that can be displayed or if it is the nearest number of lights that can be calculated for the actual pixel?

spotColor.rgb shouldn't be a too high number, and it is added to the material and max is 1.0, so

spotColor.rgb = min(spotColor.rgb + (spotRGBDelta.rgb * intensity), 0.85); or something should be used I think.
I know out of range values can cause downgrades or (inverted(?)) lights... but hasn't been able to get it right. And lights can't be turned of as far as I know

 

[Incredible Hulk]

Can’t totally resolve flickering with many lights and can’t get projector working trough code alone
So currently adding 1 omni light to car .cas and testing track alone at night work as a gimmick.
I’m sure somewhere on no grip forum somebody surely already tried this

At least, enlarging clip values in .trk do magic for some old tracks

Default - No horizons

Horizon magically appear on Oran Park after rising clip planes in main view to
ClipPlanes=(0.50, 10000.00)
and using @AndreasFSC sun lighting definitions from 2007_Zandvoort .gdb track updates. Sky reverted to south.

Also rearview for better mirrors (enlarging size also)
ClipPlanes=(0.50, 750.00)

Strange Reshade Transparency Bug

I almost give up on Reshade cause of this bug, but it turns out that just turning different HUD give back trees transparency?! On the good side, basic fx filters work with builtin antialiasing.
Reseted all setting few times so no best lap this time

Donington-Graphic-and-Shaders-Playground 1 plus Reshade only custom LUT - HUD-BUG

Works with Race 07 antialiaising
Donington-Graphic-and-Shaders-Playground 1 plus Reshade only custom LUT - just different-HUD fix

I read the PM you send me. So first you may wanna write the correct title of the movie you are recalling.

OMG! Thanks

I see you guys talking about shaders. And you kinda asked me for help or ideas or something.

Specular gets "through" things and also on the "casted shadow".
The shadows "flicker" and they "overlap".

Those are the 2 bigest errors. Can you fix some of that code? because I have some ideas but not code.
- Here is the specular thing:


and here the specular on the shadows:

Nice findings
Thanks

My mod is actually just trying to force use of srpl shaders with few custom “mashup shaders”.
Also Race 07 with dlc tracks are ranging from years 2007-2011 and newer tracks obviously differ in materials and shaders use from the old ones.

Andreas is actually in the process of writing completely new shaders trying to “simulate pbr” and updating tracks where needed so maybe they will not produce those wrong results when he completes his work.

What code do you use for specular calculation?
You have to filter out if direct light is parallel to surface normal (or actually inverse since direct light in shaders is from point to light source).
Are these shaders also srpl based?

Is not Race07, Im on GTR2. Because of 24hs simulation.

Yes in my "GFX.GTR" Im using all of the SRPL shaders (not custom) to replace the original ones.

But AFTER I upload it here (It is called "GTR2 new shaders & lighting patch"), I found and corrected a typo error on the the SPECULAR.GFX wich was causing overbrightness and some weird effects of course.

But the specular is still "going through" things that use specular shader.
As I know nothing about code. I just reorder the things to fully work with SRPL.

Did you fixed it? let me know.
