This is a lighting mod to improve lighting in ETS 2 and ATS. It is replacing default lighting system with modern lighting methods.
- When it will be released?
Test version will be released until 23/03/2025. I will release it even if there is something missing, I don't want to delay it anymore.
- Is it free or paid?
I'm planning to keep it free if donations are enough after release, if its not enough its going to be 1$/month subscription (you don't need to donate/subscribe before release).
- Sunlight?
This is using PBR lighting but game doesn't have PBR textures so it doesn't look good as perfect PBR lighting. The problem with sunlight is calculations make it worse when used without PBR textures. So sunlight looks worse with PBR lighting because of lack of PBR textures for objects in the game. For now I'm planning focus on overcast and rain. To add sunlight I need to somehow convert default textures to proper PBR textures. I can try to do that later but its hard to do because it depends on surface type.
- Night? To add night I need to replace lighting system for each type of light, I will do it later but currently its daytime only.
- Using with other asset mods/TruckersMP?
This is a .dll plugin like TAA, you can use with any mod you want including mods change assets.
- VR and multi monitor? Currently it doesn't work because I don't want to spend time on that but after everything is ready I will implement for VR and multi monitor.
- Performance?
This was the last test I did with max settings 2-3 weeks ago (I should do a new one): GPU: RTX 4050 (laptop) = RTX 3060 for desktop Game settings: Highest Quality with 100% resolution scaling at 1080p (low quality mirrors for better comparison) New lighting settings: Highest Quality Result: 130-140 fps Rendering a frame takes 7 ms on average (everything included, game base rendering + new lighting + TAA). New lighting with new AO + Reflections takes 2 ms (average) to render. Everything depends on the scene.
