Behold the Yuuzhan Vong Army! This mod adds the Yuuzhan Vong Race as a playable faction and all units of this era. We are a community of modders working for the greater goal, so anyone who wants to help or support us is welcome!
After 2 weeks of hard work, we have successfully created a true PBR shader for Empire at War. Thanks to the initial guidance and support from Gaukler, Doci and I worked on creating our own shader based off the Frostbite PBR Implementation.
What this does:
Our shader creates a more natural light, while also deepening shadows and creating a more encompassing shadow wrap around curved surfaces. Colors are more vibrant and most importantly the reflections are more accurate, and driven by a roughness map that provides a much more realistic and natural light experience. Being mostly a fragment shader, it works especially well with our detailed high resolution textures.
Please view the attached images, noting the default game shader above, and our new Vong PBR shader below, our team is very excited for this, it is a true Game Changer.
Special thanks to Gaukler for being awesome as always with his teachings
Doci and Strobe for Artistic Wizardry
Oh, you're making awesome stuff. Congrats on the shaders! Awesome, and thanks to doci to really make me follow this mod, great advertiser and a great part of your team! Nice Work, hm, I realy need a thumbsup here on Moddb.
PS: I'm so excited to play your mod!
Awesome job as always
Dang guys. Just when I was starting to think you couldn't push the envelope any further. First your discovery for dynamic object display on the galaxy map back in 2017, then FarSeer's parallax shadowing, now this! All of these new and creative ways to improve EaW, we'll probably hardly recognize it in a few years. Never cease to amaze.
I tried to mess with ReShade to improve the looks of my game, but man this looks way better. Great job.
This is straight from alo viewer and looks the same in game ;)
You should already create an independent installer as a completely new game :D This is more than a simple mod, rework....
Amazing difference in the last pair of images.
Is there any performance drop from these at all?
absolutely none at all.
