ETS 2/ATS Lighting - Truck Rendering Improvements

** Because there is no fake shadows provided by game I will try to implement a custom system to add better shadows under trucks & vehicles.

** New reflection system (SSR) cannot reflect objects that are not on the screen, when it cannot find an object sky used as source of reflection. SSR is perfect for first person driving but not great for inspecting vehicles.

This is a lighting mod to improve lighting in ETS 2 and ATS. It is replacing default lighting system with modern lighting methods. Coming soon...

  • Its not released yet. This is just a simple preview to demonstrate lighting changes.

I can't understand how to have this level of graphic quality. Do you use reshade in addition to the mod?

Did you ever think about applying for SCS ? I mean looks like the folks there could learn a lot from your work, regarding AA 'n stuff ;)...

I think its way better for me to make mods instead of implementing directly to the game

It's the truck fault or why the rear wheels appears to "fly"?

It was because of lack of fake shadows, it should be fine now after setting r_fake_shadows to 2 from game config <3

Another great addition to the games! One thing that bothers me is the fact that the rearview mirror doesn't render shadows, especially inside tunnels.

In config.cfg, uset r_fake_shadows "2" will add fake shadows under trucks too.

These previews look very good! I am using you TAA proggie for a long time now and it revolutionized ETS2 and ATS for me so I am very curious about how this turned out. It occured to me earlier that the truck shadows look less heavy then those of the cars tho. Will this be compatible with PNG? Thanks.

Looks very nice, although rear wheels look like there hovering above the ground.

The more you update this, the more it starts to turn into those 4k High Def cyberpunk videos. And i mean the best way possible because my cyberpunk looks like that 🤣 i can't wait to see the final thing man!
