Tomatoshade R&D PRESET

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

I am bouncing back and forth with P3d 4 and v5

and I starting using tomatoshade again for v4 

Can anyone please tell me what setting to adjust the blue scattering  effect?

Scenery is too blue.

thanks 

mike

It's the Rayleigh scattering effect.

Be sure to not have weather influencing when defining the values.

Cheers R

Ok thank you, do you have a recommended value ? If you use this preset?

By weather  influencing, you mean asp3d not running?

thanks

Hi Mike,

I don't actually use the preset, I kind of rolled my own.

And with regards to weather I mean clear skies (I stop ASN and choose clear skies), so that the weather is not influencing visibility and thus causing over or under adjustment of the Rayleigh scattering.

Some Info:

What I found was the author of Tomatoshade never updated to cater for 4.5 HF3 (that I'm aware of at least - v31 is the last I have).

As a result I noticed a ton of errors in the P3D logs.

At that point I found as long as you're not using the reflection options it is still a valuable tool in defining lighting and things like Rayleigh scattering.

So I rolled my own settings which I've been tweaking to my liking ever since, I've pasted the ini into a spoiler for your preview.

I also make two manual changes to 2 x shaders, one change to resolve a math issue and the other change for precipitation. Neither may apply to yourself as not all configs would have the same shader values but here they are based on my ini file.

Note if changing the values below they will be overwritten whenever the Tomatoshade config is applied, so the process would be to apply the Tomatoshade settings, then the edits, then trigger P3D to regenerate its shader cache, confirm the look and rinse and repeat until satisfied.

Cheers R

What I really like about P3D is there are a host of easily configurable settings able to be made with just a text editor.

e.g. slow down the road traffic, reset the sun/moon size, plus all the option avaialble in the P3D config file, great stuff to tune the look feel.

 

GPUTerrain.fx - wrap calc in an abs()

#pragma warning( disable : 3571 )

{
    return exp(-baseScale * heightScale) * (pow(abs(18.8125 * angle + 1.0), -1.28125) * 32.53323 + 0.29103) / baseScale;

}

 

PrecipParticle.fx - calcs for smaller looking rain/snow effects

void CreateStreakQuadVertices(float3 position, float3 velocity, float3 eyePosition, out float3 outQuadPosition[4], out float3 outQuadNormal)
{
    //Control how long streaks face and how big they are.
    // TBM 03/02/2019 change the calculated value for a smaller looking rain/snow effect
    float height = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeHeightScale / (2.4 - (cb_uPrecipType * 1.65));
    float width = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeWidthScale / (1.0 - (cb_uPrecipType * 0.25));
    
    //float height = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeHeightScale;
    //float width = cb_fQuadSize * cb_fQuadSizeWidthScale;

    velocity = normalize(velocity);
    float3 eyeVector = eyePosition - position;
    float3 eyeOnvelocityPlane = eyePosition - ((dot(eyeVector, velocity)) * velocity);
    float3 projectedeyeVector = eyeOnvelocityPlane - position;
    float3 sideVector = normalize(cross(projectedeyeVector, velocity));

    outQuadPosition[0] = position - (sideVector * 0.5 * width);
    outQuadPosition[1] = outQuadPosition[0] + (sideVector * width);
    outQuadPosition[2] = outQuadPosition[0] - (velocity * height);
    outQuadPosition[3] = outQuadPosition[2] + (sideVector * width);

    outQuadNormal = normalize(projectedeyeVector);
}

Thank You for the informative response.

ide be curious to try your settings. You mind sharing your preset please?

Hi Mike,

The preset is in the spoiler.

Just copy the spoiler contents into a text file and name the text file whatever.ini

Making sure that Explorer is set to show file extensions.

Cheers R

Opps HDR is:

HDR_BRIGHTNESS=1.150000
HDR_BLOOM_MAGNITUDE=0.350000
HDR_SATURATION=1.100000

Edited by Rogen
added HDR

Ryzen 5800X clocked to 4.7 Ghz (SMT off), 32 GB ram, Samsung 1 x 1 TB NVMe 970, 2 x 1 TB SSD 850 Pro raided, Asus Tuf 3080Ti

P3D 4.5.14, Orbx Global, Vector and more, lotsa planes too.

Catch my vids on Oz Sim Pilot, catch my screen pics @ Screenshots and Prepar3D
