Update Speculation thread

While preparing for PBR textures I've made some highpoly 4k textured test object, basically thinking of making a really realistic photo room but based in nature, even before the update it looks really good and this is without normal maps and specular maps

so Beamng render (photomode) vs Blender Cycles I wonder how will it look after 0.23 update

 

Oh my god the paint looks like paint

 

sus

 

These tdev words made me think 0.23 won't be released tomorrow, what you guys think?

 

*agrees sadly*

 

I agree. The update probably won't roll out until July. Mid-July I would say. If not the start of August is also possible.

 

Devs: *exist*
This thread today: "Obvious evidence of immediate update"

 

Lol

 

Considering all the teasers that got posted today, wouldn't that be a little too long?

 

Not sure everything needs to be updated to PBR for this update but might just be me hoping lol

 

I think there was a (possibly deleted) post in the discord that said the piano might not be updated to PBR right away for 0.23. I also don't think the maps use PBR, just the cars, although there are lighting and fx updates

 

Yeah the maps don't. Just the cars currently. But I do hope the maps will some time.

 

I guess it could be a thing that they add in stages. guessing even if it was a late July update (tbh I didn't expect the Wendover update to be released when it did) the artist teams wouldn't have the texturing ready 100%.

Talking about new textures, I would love to have some fake chrome aftermarket hubcaps.

 

yeah idk

so would this mean if say mods for a car that added different body panels, would those need to be mapped or smth?

 

Yeah everything would presumably have to be updated to pbr to match the vehicle, though considering the maps aren’t updated yet I’m sure the textures are still backwards compatible

 

I would assume 'the old way' still works and looks like or similar as it used to but might need some type of converting

 

all the teasers that had been dropped yesterday plus the dev activity (they denied nothing) my guess still takes for today. wouldnt just make any sense if not. just my opinion

 

IDK about that

Still seems like a bit of work to be done, unless tdev does a bug fixing speedrun

 

tdevs post are always 50% trolling and %50 real meaning so if i would need to bet im still in the game for today.
Dont they always speedrunning for bugfixing? xD
i just dont get why they leak all that stuff and then BOOM, nothing.
lets just wait for the day and see if im wrong.

 

I mean, the definition of 'leak' is information that is not supposed to be out, getting out... so I dont think any of the leaks were intentional so using them as 'this is coming soon' isnt a good idea. This isnt valve, they dont intentionally 'leak'
