OVERVIEW
Community Shaders feature which replaces grass shaders. Includes a directional light fix, point lights, improved lighting and complex grass.NOTES
- There should be a minimal performance impact apart from if there are a lot of lights on screen.
- Vanilla grass is bugged in some world-spaces. You can install Shadows Of Sunlight to fix them for now.
FEATURES
Directional Light Fix
- Fixes the directional light not being modified by sunlight scale like other objects are.
Point Lights
- Requires the Light Limit Fix.
Improved Lighting
- Replaces grass lighting code with reverse-engineered object lighting code.
- Matches other game objects, using identical code.
- Fake subsurface scattering using object lighting code.
- Uses directional ambient colours instead of the ambient colour.
Emulated Complex Grass
- Fixes UV-mapping of complex grass made for ENB.
- Includes normal and specular map support.
- Based on reverse-engineered game object lighting code. ENB complex grass settings are not the same.
VR
- Fixes TAA on grass in the right eye from jittering.
Preview: A comparison of various scenarios.
REQUIREMENTS
Community Shaders
Vanilla Complex Grasses for ENB, Complex Grass - The Official Patch Compendium or similar is recommended
