Fallout 4 0.355

[ENBSeries]

It's mistake, performance can't be lower cause i changed only what written in description to release.

Yeah, you're right. I deleted all things ENB related and something else is causing poor performance. I'll try to roll back my Nvidia drivers.

So I made a ground texture for Fallout 4.
The Enb applies weird SSAO on the flat ground.
Deactivating enb SSAO deactivates the effect.
It also reacts to the SSAO Range, as the effect only goes a few meters
Got the same in Skyrim SE, there the effect reacts to the blue channel of the normal map.
Which us usually pretty bright. In Fallout 4 it is black. That's probably why it is so enourmous.
Needs to be fixed in both games.
Making a white blue channel didn't help in Fallout 4, though. The engine probably doesn't like it. As it is always black for vanilla textures.

Thanks for looking into it Boris! You are great.

It's not flat ground, it's bumpy as hell and i compute ao/il using per pixel normals, not triangles from depth.

[Pfuscher]

It's bumpy, you are right. I didn't mean that. I meant that it is terrain, not a mesh. Flat as the geometry, not the texture.
Is there a way to deactivate you ssao for the terrain only?

[ENBSeries]

There is no way to disable for terrain. And it doesnt matter terrain or mesh, they are still the same geometry in the game and the problem of darkness occurs because normals used for ao computation and it's totally correct, if you put real stones instead of normal map, they will look similar with ao applied.

[Pfuscher]

Are all normal map channels used for AO? I think I remember you can choose which channels.
Excluding the blue channel would be a good thing as in Fallout 4 it's always completely black. Unlike Skyrim.

[mindflux]

I guess the blue channel is computed runtime then?

[ENBSeries]

Normal is reconstructed by this code:

Code: Select all

	float2	fenc = normal.xy*4.0 - 2.0;
	float	f = dot(fenc, fenc);
	float	g = sqrt(1.0 - f*0.25);
	normal.xy = fenc*g;
	normal.z = 1.0 - f*0.5;
	normal.z=-normal.z;

Would somebody please be so nice and translate that for us
