how to adjust light shafts in the sky makman ???

[drakkhen20]

i asked this question a long long time ago. i think it was makman who explained how to. but isnt there a way to adjust the light shafts that come through the clouds. im looking for a cleaner realistic look and not always seeing the heavenly angles shinning all the time.



thanks,

Makman? Or maybe thedarkwraith knows eh?

does anyone else know how to modify the parameters of the Light shaft ?

I'm almost sure it has to do with the shaders located in data\Shaders\Sky

For example in one of them there's this code with a parameter "related to sunlight shafts" in the comment:


float alpha = 30 + MiePhase * 0.1;// 0.1 is related to sunlight shafts ... should be larger than the shafts exposure
return float4(color, alpha);
But I have no idea what they do and how to work with shaders. You can start by trial and error!

Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\Lights
[HDR Exterior]
LightShaftsStrength=0.055
LightShaftsDensity=0.7
LightShaftsDecay=0.95
LightShaftsWeight=0.8

and also
Silent Hunter 5\data\Env\Clouds cfg file to some extent .
AmbientLightMultiplier=1.500000
DirectLightWrapAround=0.110000

alright, thanks sober and the rest :salute:
ill start adjusting and see what comes of it. all i should really worry about is the strength right ? the rest is pretty much the physics correct or how they look?
