SEUS PTGI E9 Dev News 2


Hey everyone, sorry it's been a while since the last news post or update! Here's what's been going on.

So, I bought an AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU a few weeks ago and have been working on AMD GPU compatibility for SEUS PTGI E9. I was quite disappointed with the performance on this card, though, and after some investigation, I found the cause. Due to differences in hardware design, AMD GPUs tend to struggle with geometry shaders that have a lot of input geometry.

I utilize geometry shaders in order to allow for both voxelization for GI and sunlight shadows simultaneously. However, the work that was being done in this step wasn't much more than a simple copying of all geometry once, and so I started wondering if a different approach could be taken to avoid geometry shaders entirely. 

After discussing it with the developer of OptiFine, the latest version of OptiFine for Minecraft 1.14.4 now has a new feature, which is the ability to tell OptiFine to render geometry in a certain stage more than once. Using this feature, I'm able to skip using geometry shaders entirely! This provides a very slight speedup on NVIDIA graphics cards, but offers huge speedups on the RX 580 (this should apply to other AMD cards as well)! At times I've seen a doubling of frame rate utilizing this new feature instead of geometry shaders!

So, I've been working on getting this new alternative approach to be as robust as the old geometry shaders approach, as well as generally working on AMD compatibility. There are a few visual bugs remaining that I can't seem to track down, but since it's been so long and they're relatively minor, I think I'll leave those for E10; I don't want to keep you guys waiting any longer!

More concerning about AMD compatibility is that I seem to encounter random crashes whenever SEUS PTGI's shaders are loaded. Sometimes I just have to try multiple times to successfully get in-game without a crash, and I can't seem to find the cause or figure out why it's just completely random. Has anyone else with an AMD GPU who has been testing SEUS PTGI out experienced this?

And of course, I've been finalizing the main new feature for E9, which is ray tracing that considers uniquely shaped blocks. Right now I've got all stair variants, all fence variants, all slab variants, and all door variants working, and I've got them working with reflection tracing as well as diffuse lighting tracing.

 However, since I'm not using geometry shaders anymore, voxelization is a little more difficult to keep robust, so it's more sensitive to breaking when custom block models are used. I definitely don't like this limitation. I'll be working on seeing if I can get voxelization to be more robust to custom block models. 

So, because E9 will use the new "instancing" feature of OptiFine instead of geometry shaders, it will only be compatible with Minecraft 1.14.4 until this feature is added to OptiFine for previous versions of Minecraft. Compatibility with 1.13 and 1.12 will come when this happens.

This update has turned out to be a really complicated one, thanks for hanging in there!

Plase can you add volumetric fog and dof option?? Thank you.

thanks for the info it is greatly appreciated

damn tusing122 he will release it for free soon it is just in beta right now

you don't need to pay a monthly bill, you can buy the patreon, download the shader and then unsubscribe from it before the next billing cycle. I don't do that because I like to support him and his awesome work, but if you're just here for the shader and nothing else, by all means do that.

sonic ether can you make the price more reasonable it seems weird to pay a monthly bill

dont use renewed, it has a massive bug that makes leaves, water, and sand shake uncontrollably after about 3-5 minutes.

This shader pack shown here is basically real-time ray tracing and isn't ready for pubilc release. Thus he is funding the development through the gold tier.

Morgan

This Shader That Sonic Ether Made takes a Lot of hard work to make and takes a lot of time to make it this good. That is why You should support him to encourage him by becoming a patron.

he has a free version https://sonicether.com/download/seus-renewed-v1-0-0/

ill just head to sildurs at least his is free,there are a lot of free shaders there!

this shaderpack isn't free?!

They will be

Matthew

Are the shaders free

hi

Hello, i'm very poor, i selled my son for pack of rice. Can you please send me these for free? i don't understand dollars, i just wanna play minecraft all my life, my family already hates me for selling my son. please, thank you.

i have a problem with the texture pack. When i load in a world, my whole screen is covered by weird colors and the different blocks in Minecraft for some reason. I don't know how to get it away

Thanks!

https://www.patreon.com/umsoea that texure is this

柏漢 張

Does anyone happen to know what texture pack is that in the picture?

jeez

though

hough sory misspell

hopefully it will be fixed later on hough

thats a bug Miguel its just a Glitch :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI0M7mieb0E

i ried to use the shaderpack that ws used with he ray tracing and i got a black void vision i couldn't see my specs: Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 1070 FTW EVGA 16gb ram core i5 8600 CPU @ 3.10 Ghz 1TB Hard drive

will this run well with a gtx 1070 ? and how much does this cost ?

umm my end rods will emit light in hand put not when placed:/

LeL

hmm

gold

Matthew

what level patron do we have to be to access this?

when can we get this free?

Can someone send me the system specs for having this shader before installing?

Geniis

I don't have the download link

could emisive maps be enabled, have textures that make redstone, rails and other stuf "glow"(not light emiting, just ignore the sorounding light) when powered. And with the E8 that i tried they did not work properly and dident light up in the dark.

hey um what is the least laggy version. thanks.

I have an rx 580 and when loading a world my mine craft crashes. The last thing in the log is "...[Shaders] : Reset model renderer. " and "... [Shaders] : Reset world renderer.". I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the crash but that's where it freezes. No errors anywhere though.

Once you have all the bugs kinked out with E10, what's next? How much more tech needs to be put in until the project hits beta?

@Sonic Ether once you've streamlined the amd experience, do you intend on adding animations to the grass/trees etc like your vanilla version? i really love the vanilla version but want ray tracing on it too. Also I've noticed that unlike the your vanilla version you can't see the sky while under water.

could be umsoea or ultimate immersion's textures not sure tho

Christopher

Which resource pack(s) can i use in 1.8? My friends are playing on a multiplayer server that uses 1.8 minecraft

Which resource pack is this in the screenshot?

m

What editions of Minecraft do these shaders work on? Do they work on windows 10? Because that is the main one I use. Thanks

Is there any possibility or will there come a future support of 1.12.2 to amd gpus

I have a RX 580 and if I try to load a world or change dimensions while in fullscreen the game freezes. Forgetting to exit full screen when going through a portal is a pain.

Bedrock is nothing but a pale imitation of Java with worse mod support and microtransactions. No thank you.

Cyro

Hello.(о´∀`о) I've been using SEUS for a long time, but there is one point I really care about. It means that the inside of the building gets wet if it rains when using a glass block on the roof. Is it possible to improve these( ´_ゝ`)?

minecraft is now partnering with nvidia to push rtx on win10 edition (-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCfuZSEFzIg)

Where is link to this shaders?

Thoughts on the RTX-minecraft announcement that nvidia just put on their youtube?

Jo, du kannst die Shader hier auf der Seite downloaden (die PTGI Shader zumindest), die anderen auf der SEUS-Seite. Wichtig ist aber auch zum downloaden, dass du Gold Tier hast (-> 10$). Um sie hier von der Seite zu downloaden, musst du auf den entsprechenden Post gehen, am Ende des Posts (ganz unten) ist dann die Datei als .zip angehängt. Aktuell ist der PTGI E8 die neueste Version. Als Tipp nebenbei, die entsprechenden Posts mit den Download sind mit "[Download]" gekennzeichnet.

note to dumb people: scroll down for download E8

mechaniking

wie kommt man an diese shader ran ? kann die nirgendwo downloaden BITTE UM HILFE

I've become a patron how do I download the shader?

I have the same problem.

NMLWright

Yeah, the whole concept of SEUS PTGI is that it doesn't need the chip on the RTX cards. Everything besides water runs great on my GTX 970

I have GTX 1060 OC, will this work with a non-RTX card?

When is e9 releasing. Cant support after this month

Freud

Yeah

Hi

basel

what version of optifine works best with this shader pack

same problem but he dont answere here?! Thats stinky we are supporting him and he dont answere here

FlashTutorDE

You have to pay dumb fuck. Read the damn patron page

I noticed in E8 when it rains, the ground gets wet indoors even when the block is under another block or otherwise indoors.

NMLWright

They aren’t meant to

Matthew

Hey Bro im not sure if this is the right place to post it but when i visit the http://sonicether.com website it askes for my username and paaword i have seen someojne with this problem on reddit here is there post Hi there, I’ve been trying to install SEUS for Minecraft 1.14.4, but when I go to Sonic Ether’s site to download it, I’m met with a sign-in popup. How do I access Sonic Ether’s site?

hopefully this gets released soon, I recently bought an rx 590 and can't even use seus renewed without it crashing.

Harrods

works on amd graphic card?

And yes , the website isn't working

To be honest , True that RT is a massive add to the game , and i'm very glad some one add this to Minecraft ! so thank u man for this . about RT in my opinion it kills fps but add visual beauty to it which is a clear thing we see using sonic into his mod . so keep making it more realistic and my dream is to see this mod so much realistic , especially on Building side ! damn i'm obsessed about this so much .

why do i need to log in to access your website?

will slime transparency / waving plants be resolved (I know they're trifles compared to the big things you are working on)

Maybe if you decrease the render resolution to 0.7 or 0.5 in the shader settings and tweak some other things. Technically I think it should be compatible once AMD is supported.

Can you ask the Optifine creater to optimize older version of minecraft like 1.12.2 since that is the new modding standard? I am getting an AMD GPU soon and don't want bad framerates. BTW PTGI 5, 6, and 7 don't work on 1.7.10 or 1.6.4

Is this possible to port back to 1.8.9? I frequently use 1.8.9 for creative builds.

NMLWright

So is the developer of optifine planning on grandfathering these features for past version? Just because there arent any decent modpacks for the newer versions of minecraft.

ok

Damn, the amount of work you've put into this is incredible; amazing work and kudos, my man.

Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart

Hi, I have the same problem as the guy above and I just signed up. Please help! : )

I just noticed, it also pops up an OpenGL error: 1282(Invalid operation)

KGB_Thanatos

I did, finally, get E8 running on my RX-570. My only issue is missing water and glass textures. When I load into a map, it comes up with 2 errors. [Shaders] Error: Invalid Program "composite", and, [Shaders] Error: Invalid Program "composite4"

KGB_Thanatos

When do you think this will come out?

cant wait to try this on my vega 56

This is dev news not release

Matthew

i have no access to the website which supposedly has the download-links to the older shaders. how do i get there?

not out yet

will my vega 11 be able to run these shaders?

yeah where is the download?

where do we download it?

Im Very excited for the next update, ive wanted to play minecraft with these shaders but its so laggy with the rx 580

Hey, I have an rx580 and it doesn't crash, the fps is okay, like 32 fps higher settings, but it is kinda glitched

If you bring accurate tracing to custom models I seriously have no words...

Ultimate Immersion

Sadly i cant lanuch your shader if i buy it FUCK WHY I HAVENT MONEY

basel

When he releases it. It's not done yet lol

EmeraldCrafts

How's the performance on an RX580. I heard some people got previous vers working on AMD cards but I had no luck.

where can I download ?

Which resourcepack is shown in the screenshot?

Glad you're working on AMD support even though I have an Nvidia card, it'll be worth it.

Chahzou

I know that you are doing a big work here with this new type of shader, but when do you think you've finished all the work? So that you can also release the free version

Alex2216

5700xt here, despite a couple of broken "features" of the shader on PTGI 8, Can't wait for version 9!

Gravestone

Awesome! Nice you got a 580 RX. Cuz thats the same card I have, this will be great!

Linkie

epic

YEEEY. It's nice to see you bought the same amd card then me, that way I know It will work fine on mine. I waited a long time for this :D

Keep up the great work

Drew9140

Hey just curious, are you using a texture along with your shaders in the pic above

I get a composite error 2 and 4, when I enter the game, but some stuff works others do not https://plays.tv/video/5d4cbbc6e8ed00a4e5/vega-64-seus-ptgi-e8-test

Have you tried with the latest OptiFine? It now supports AMD for SEUS

Jorge López Tello

i have an RX 580 and i haven’t ever been able to get it running on PTGI, immediately crashes when trying to load the world, and of course no crash log.

Yep, it just came out two days ago :)

Sonic Ether

Glad I dropped AMD cards awhile ago, they're cheaper but I kept running into issues with performance in a lot of games.

ichimo

Keep up the great work!

So is the new Optifine version out? I looked the other day and couldn’t find it.
