Vanilla RTX 1.8.0 News

December update is brewing!

v1.8.0 will improve emissivity of blocks, ice and redefines (what I'd call) metals with blue tint, along with a lot of other changes which you'll discover in the release post.
Did you know, the little bumps on the new bamboo block top are based on average brightness of each bamboo top? Yes! that is how Vanilla RTX is made.
Vanilla textures themselves are sometimes a perfect guidance, in this specific instance, when a bamboo top has a darker average col...

Glowing Glazed Terracotta (Add-On)

A complete remake of Glowing Glazed terracotta patch.
This version is made to match the upcoming Vanilla RTX update (v1.7.8) which has overhauled normal maps & improved materials for glazed terracotta blocks.

In previous versions emissivity was based on heightmaps (only higher pixels in height glowed), but in this update I have hand-picked which parts of each block glows.
Emission is now consistent. (For instance, the yellow glowing part on lime terracotta matches the glo...
