Pacific Environments 4

11.09.2008 PE4
– New sun sets and sun rises, with a more realistic cycle from yellow to orange / red.
– New realistic bow wave, thanks to Demonizer for using his mod as a base for my work.
– New modified pitch and roll to make the submarine/u-boat sail deeper, but still have roll
and pitch.
– New sea foam from Wclears EE mod, modified to match the blue sea-colour of PE4.
– New scene and clouds for more realistic waves and environment colours.
– Missing underwater bubbles and roll pitch for S-18, S-42 and U-boat added for TM and
stock SH4.
– New water shader by Nisgeis to support shallow transparent water including changes so
you now can see the sub submerged from a high altitude.
– Modified the shaders for postprocess filtering to stop the from being oversaturated during
sunsets with PPF.
– All japanese warships retextured.

Read the included manual for instructions on how to install PE4.

Those shots look AMAZING!!! Thanks for all your hard work making SH4 look prettier!

Xantrokoles · 06-27-08, 03:45 PM

In German I would say: '' VOLL DE HONISCH!''
(Use it as a big compliment!)

Maybe I can make a small appeal...

I sailed on a high-seas liner to an Island in the Northsea a year ago. We had a ordinary storm and there were waves, higher and not so long pulled like them in Row.
I really love Row, but the stormy waves from WClear are IMO amazing.
I don't know wether you can exhaust the limit of the waves high still a little bit, but when you get it, this would be as great as the whole mod.

Vorkapitan · 06-27-08, 06:10 PM

Kriller you dood it again!! Great work!!

I thought I noticed a water pattern (repeating) emerging from your last update..
Maybe just me being too picky.

Ducimus · 06-27-08, 06:19 PM

Looks great Kriller! I like how the water looks like a deep rich blue towards the bottom of the first screenshot. I was no real world sailor, but i have spent a few weeks on charter fishing boats, and, i kinda wish i had a rock cod rig to drop over the side, or a big fat yellowfin to reel in now. :rotfl:

Allso I would like to reduce the effect of the Post process filters, because they are to much, so if anyone know how to do that?,

skwasjer might be the man to talk to about that. I know hes done some nifty editing to the PPF in the past.

MONOLITH · 06-27-08, 06:54 PM

Awesome kriller. Awesome.

gAiNiAc · 06-28-08, 02:23 PM

Kriller,

The overall affect you're achieving is excellent...............

The color though is a bit rich and dark compared to the Pacific....(I've done two WESTPAC's so I've seen it....)........

I'd lighten up the blue a bit and add a touch of green...............

The Indian ocean actually is as deep colored as what you have already but on the purple-ish side........

Gorgeous work so far!

DeepIron · 06-28-08, 04:39 PM

Kriller, you and the other PE contributors are *really* going to drive me to buy a dual core CPU and *much* better video card if you keep this up!

Thanks!

Alex · 06-28-08, 05:27 PM

Wonderful work, as always, Chris !

The water looks damn real, Sir.

kriller2 · 06-29-08, 08:16 AM

Thanks for all the feedback ! this is definately encouraging

@Skwasjer, I have found out what caused the black sea / colour change when turning on PPF filter and how to control it...

This means we finaly can have the best of both worlds!

Outstanding! If you don't do this for a living some company is missing out on some great talent! :hmm:

Luckily--we're not

Vorkapitan · 09-14-08, 01:59 PM

Kriller 2,

That's the most AMAZING water I've ever seen in a game. Truely amazing!!

IrishUboot · 11-28-08, 07:40 PM
