Allium Shaders

Changes:

• Cloud lighting has more depth and color during sunrise and sunset
• Cloud shape has been tweaked
• Global Illumination Denoiser Tweaks
• Sky is a lot less pink and more blue and gold during sunrise and sunset.
• Raytraced Ambient Occlusion is now written on a seperate texture so that it properly occludes the main color rather than just global illumination and it's sky contribution (fixes transparent ao and boosts its intensity)

Fixes:

• Fixed NaNs on sky and temporal filtering
• Fixed Nether and End Broken with Global Illumination turned on
• Performance improvements
• Denoiser tweaks
• Fixed Ambient Occlusion intensity in shader settings

Hotfix:

• Fixed reflections disappearing in higher shader setting presets
• Fixed Ambient Occlusion accumulating sky color rather than darkening
• Sky Contribution is now properly accumulating with rays

Tweaks:

• Less cloud sky color blend for more clarity on clouds
• Ambient Lighting changes to match sky contribution in RT
• Color Balances

Changes:

• Added Denoiser to help with image stability and noise
• Temporal Bilateral Blur to blur out individual rays/noise
• Temporal Filtering Improvements
• Raytrace logic and accuracy improvements
• Lighting and color changes to help Raytraced Global Illumination fit better with the scene
• Denoiser settings
• Raytrace Sample quality now effects the spread of spherical harmonics for RT
• Raytrace Steps now affect how far a ray can reach from its initial bounce
• Raytrace is now written onto a different pass and then sampled into a blur for the denoiser
• Color Boost for gi now gives more accurate colors
• Raytrace Global Illumination intensity balance between bright blocks, emissive, and normal blocks

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed extremely noisy Global Illumination
• Fixed improper blend weights for (Rough) Reflections' temporal filtering in screenshot mode
• Fixed Raytrace Ambient Occlusion rendered over Global Illumination, causing it to cut off the closer GI rays got to a corner geometry
• Fixed Global Illumination rendering under waving foliage like flowers and grass (mitigated rather than completely removing it entirely)
• Fixed Raytrace Occlusion not properly darkening the shaded area and subtracting off the sky contribution

RT fixes

• 2.0.2 was using a older ssrt prototype by accident, switched to a more updated for 2.0.3 (may be a bit more demanding but a lot more accurate)

• GI colorboost was too weak in 2.0.2 so boost has been increased (gi should no be more vibrant and accurate to colors)

• Slight decrease in visual noise from RT

• Improved ray accuracy

• Added RT view for debug

• Stricter Global Illumination bouncing by color

• Sample Counts and Step Refinement options should now have an effect on the overall quality.

• Fixed gray noise appearing in the distance

• Increased saturation in post since colors seem a bit washed out

• no official denoiser for rt yet...

• Finished Global Illumination (from Bliss Shaders by Xonk)
• Finished Water Rework
• Tweaked Cloud Coverage
• Fixed issue where screen goes black during night time rainy/stormy whether
• Cloud Quality is now 1.0 by default due to clouds layer artifact
• Performance improvements
• Nvidia bug fixes
