Glow: similar effect to atmospheres but applies to non atmospheric planetsĭust: renders all the 3d particles near the ground, very cinematic but eats much more frames then the other effects so if your GPU starts crying try disabling this 1st *File structure redone to make it easier for people to choose which effects they want or do not want without having to go the extra step and remove or edit configs.Ītmospheres: kerbin, eve, lathe, jool, duna, consider disabling if you use scatterer for a very minor frame boostĬlouds: renders clouds on planets that use atmospheres effect Nothing major, but a few things specifically Duna's dust have been slightly improved overall. *Minor tweaks all around to layers to try and make things more consistent. *Vall redesigned from ground up, 2 layers of floating ice in 2 different layer patterns, deleted the ground particle effect as I dont want too much perf hit from 3 particle layers rendering simultaneously. *Designed to work with scatterer mod, provided you remove the 'atmospheres' of SciFiVE since those look janky with scatterer enabled and should not be used together.

While i cannot speak for everyone, my mid range laptop is capable of handling this mod as well as 2 1000 part warships in low orbit around any planet. Particle density is kept to a minimum to keep performance up.

Duna has dust storms and Eeloo has blizzards. Color choice is fairly varied, with some planets having highly colorful fog while others use a more greyish color. *Some airless bodies have fog/dust effects. All volumetric layers (Kerbin, Laythe, Eve, ect) are kept minimalistic in thickness and useage to maximize performance while still creating as good an effect as possible. *Kerbin, Duna, Eve, Jool and Laythe have cloud layers.

Colors are generally highly saturated to give a more sci-fi universe feel compared to the more white and washed out realistic style used in most other mods like SVE. *All planets but Gilly and Bop (geometric limitation) have atmospheric scatter or glow effects rendered via EVE cloud layers.

*Minimalistic design with focus on performance and full scatterer compatibility (not required to run mod, best to not use it when performance is an issue). Pics: (some may be outdated, will get updated as i get good screenies) Fix cityLights not appearing with latest scatterer versions (0.EVE is bundled, but be sure to check EVE page for updates as i will not be updating this mod often. Fix BuildManager exception during load (Thanks terrain ultra material support for 1.9+ (Thanks 1.11.3.1*********** Fix clouds shadows breaking TAA (scatterer/tufx) in low orbit Fix compatiblity with 1.10-1.11 (recompile shaders with older unity version) Fixed flickering clouds in reflections (most noticeable on TU parts)

Fix a nullref and some game event leaks (Thanks and 1.11.6.1*********** Fix volumetrics in VR (thanks for Kerbal-VR Fix flickering city lights with Parallax (added a small depth offset) Volumetrics may appear visible from underwater with scattererĬonfigs are to be downloaded from the default EVE config: EVE-1.2.2-1/EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements-Configs-1.2.2.1.zip or your favourite visual pack You might notice a bit of aliasing now that all effects use the depth buffer Test results with results (~6% performance increase in-game) : Test results with results (15% performance increase in-game): results (no significant performance difference in-game) Volumetric particles are rendered at 1/4 the screen resolution then upsampled with a depth-aware filter and composited into the scene, saving GPU power One MeshRenderer and one GameObject per volumetric layer instead of one per particle All the particles in a volumetric cloud layer are rendered at once in a single draw-call, instead of one draw-call per particle, saving CPU time Celestial shadows are also rendered using the depth buffer instead of re-rendering most of the scene's geometry with a projector (saves a lot of CPU time, culling the scene+sending draw calls)

Cloud shadows are rendered using the depth buffer instead of re-rendering most of the scene's geometry with a projector (saves a lot of CPU time, culling the scene+sending draw calls) This version uses a few more modern rendering tricks: See here for EVE (thanks for everything build also integrates and fixes for 1.10.

This started as a performance-enhanced version of EVE. This is my continuation of EVE (Environmental Visual Enhancements).
