2025-09-28 18:21:02 +0000 UTC View PostThis mod adds deferred rendering support to KSP. This is a new mod independent from Scatterer and EVE.
Deferred rendering decouples geometry rendering from lighting, allowing for more modern lighting techniques to be used, and better lighting performance with many light sources.
Using deferred rendering "locks" the game into using a unified lighting model for all opaque objects,...
2024-06-22 07:59:17 +0000 UTC View PostThis new version focuses on lighting and shading improvements. I originally planned it to be a performance update but most of the optimizations I tested didn't pan out. For the next update I plan to work on better cloud shapes and variety to take full advantage of the new lighting implemented in this update.
I've been working on a new lighting model. Clouds now look fluffier and the interplay between ambien...

2023-05-21 22:16:46 +0000 UTC View PostI've been working on a few features for the next release.
Flowmaps
One thing I wanted to do was to bring Jool to life, I wanted it to be dynamic looking, and to do the storms and swirls justice. In order to do that I've added support for flowmaps, which allow for localized movement/flow within the clouds. The...
2023-03-28 19:37:27 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the preview build for the volumetric clouds. Mac and Linux are supported with only issues in the in-game cloud painting (editor)

2023-01-13 19:31:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi, this is a preview build for the next Scatterer version with the rendering improvements and in-game config generation. I'm still fixing issues, and haven't yet redone Duna and EVE configs, but this version has all the main new features.
Forum post with info: 2021-11-06 11:53:05 +0000 UTC View Post
This build contains the performance and rendering improvements I showed off recently, as well as a new sunflare syntax supporting curves and other improvements. This build also adds quality/performance presets, the mod now defaults to a lower preset so make sure to pick the preset that suits you from the KSC UI menu!

Edited: re-uploaded a new version which fixes a bug causing black sunlight on stock system
Edited: A public release is now up, it is the same as this version plus a fix for underwater lightrays ignoring the configured sun color
Here's a nice screenshot of godrays working on Doyle (Event Horizon planet pack)
I've put together a few fixes for some issues with godrays, wave interactions, and other minor fixes.

... 2020-12-09 22:44:50 +0000 UTC View PostI didn't expect to have patrons so quickly so when I saw the e-mail I scrambled to finish putting together a working build. This build contains all the features I showed off in the forum thread (godrays, underwater light rays and water interactions) except for cloud godrays as they still need a lot of work. Thank you for the support and enjoy :)
Edit: reuploaded as the first build had a wrong postProcess depth for Kerbin on the first configPoint (0.8 instead of 0.08)
