Wait...Shiny reflection looks more realistic now??

[wiekniera]

I don't know if my settings are correct or not with the new beta Ankor shader but i realize that with shader turning OFF, the shine reflection looks more realistic at least now or it's just me?
im using the new beta Ankor shader but it doesn't give this reflection shine till it turns OFF
This shine reflection much much better from what i saw than the first release ankor shader even with shader on (reflection option menu off) or shader off (reflection option game menu on)

I use some WOFF files in this case and seems maybe it turns this CFS3 looks more better without Ankor in some case (just guessing)
the files i use is :
* Suneffect.xml & Shader.xml (both from WOFF) and custom Sun.dds/sundisk from REX4
* the new Ankor beta but with rendershadows file from the first ankor release
well i never saw this reflection looks much better than before coz this looks really nice and more realistic shine(at least for me).

if i use the first release of Ankor shader there's two different shine reflection result
first is the reflection without shader : Turn ON reflection option in game menu with shader OFF and second is reflection with shader ON but reflection option is OFF and has to change some line in shader.xml, both still good but not like this one, the only better in first ankor release for me is the cockpit shadow which looks like CLOD style
but now i don't have to turn on the reflection option or in configoverrides (DisableEnvironmentMapping val="y") to make this shiny reflection, does the suneffect.xml and shader.xml from WOFF makes it looks different? i don't know and guess only the expert (Ankor,majormagee,gecko) knows this and give me the answer

Btw any chance for combining this good reflection with Ankor shader ON ?


Here's some pics

In your Shaders30 directory there is a file called Models.fx

The first two lines have the parameters that you would want to increase.

#define SunStrength 1.0
#define FR0 0.06

Make small changes until you get the effect you want.

Thanks Major !!
Not as i expected but it's better now with shine reflection !

i use the first ankor setup :

#define SunStrength 3
#define FR0 0.4

#define BumpEnabled
#define BumpSmoothness 4

#define CockpitLightOverride float3(0.35,0.25,0.05)

Here's the result :
