Update Speculation thread

Fancy rendering that few understand but makes things look really good.

As best I can understand it, it uses light to render things on physical items. Not physical items to render light. (ie light differences rn are only apparent on objects/skyboxes)

Stands for physically based rendering

 

gettin really off topic here guys

 

wigeon has plastic doors or no??

 

We have no way of knowing

 

Physically Based Rendering is a simulation of the way light interacts with surfaces, based upon their color and shape/normal (which BeamNG currently does), as well as their roughness and metallicity. Further reading, if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_rendering

 

Could this metallicity be the beggining of metalic paints or something around this line? Because the current colors in BeamN.G look kinda weird on the cars, I think there was another thread where someone from the BeamN.G team said something around the lines of not being possible for now as you can only ajust the colors and chrominess, would PBR be able to change that?

 

Yes, pbr would allow for metallic paint.

 

This was the quote I was reffering to, and it literally anwsered my own question, I'm dumb

 

I always saw peoples loving metallic paints but I don't see in which way they differ from a regular paint and why it isn't supported in beamng rn could someone explain ?

 

Fancy shiny textures

 

so a metallic paint is just a paint that reflects a lot ? kinda disappointed ngl

 

Yiannimize: really? Reallly? Mate, I dont think Chrome is illegal?.


Metallic paint has shiny flakes in it. Basically glitter on paint but veeeerrrryy small glitter. So it basically makes the paint pop in bright light..
Also, that's how you can also make iridiscent and color shifting paint! And that looks amazing on some cars.

 

I would love to see more chameleon/monogram paint schemes, but they suit some cars better than others.

 

maaaaaaaaaaaaan that's a TVR! They're sick, check em out sometime. Aaaaanywas, I will return to this post with some actual speculation.

 

Here's a real photo of one of their cars:

 

TVR cars are, well, cool and wierd looking. Doin things different

 

It was meant to look like this i think:

Looks a lot better like that.
