This is my attempt at making a hub for all graphics/lighting related discussion (i'm so fancy i know) this is about the upcoming lighting, frc translation, ray tracing, anything related to graphics. I think the upcoming lighting should improve dented car parts, because dynamic reflection off bend beams looks really wonky since the model of the car is adhered to j beam so there should be some surface smoothing to make the reflections better.
I'm pretty excited for the new lighting. I would imagine that dented car parts will look better, but we'll have to wait and see on that.
Exited as hell! The lighting is the reason i created my Alternative lighting mod at all. Combined with my PostFx fixes ive been a happy camper. Really looking forward to this update One of the last vids from it: My mod: https://beamng.com/threads/graphics-mod-alternative-lighting.60343/
Fine tuned the editors tod setting after installing your mod. With the help of Reshade real time path tracer I got some nice looking bounce light and shadow too.
