Very weird blur of sorts on LOD chunks. Using DH 2.0.0 RC3

Just noticed this, the effect is mostly visible on sand. Idk whether this is sand - exclusive

Download the first picture to see the effect. Discord seems to limit the resolution, making it basically unnoticeable.

Steveplays•9/18/23, 7:21 PM

That's SSAO

Steveplays•9/18/23, 7:21 PM

It's on every block

Steveplays•9/18/23, 7:21 PM

Configurable in options

ThunderBolt•9/18/23, 7:52 PM

Still, the blur occurs in the edge of the blocks, if the blur is disabled theyre sharp as it should

SSteveplays Configurable in options

VOLKOULOP•9/18/23, 7:55 PM

Okay, this is really weird. First the terrain looked all blurred, then I teleported far away, then back and now it looks normal. Here take a look:

ThunderBolt•9/18/23, 8:02 PM

ok ive checked it on the lastest nightly build for 1.18 forge. It does happen.

Steveplays•9/18/23, 8:06 PM

Hmm, Null might know more

Steveplays•9/18/23, 8:07 PM

He did most of the SSAO stuff recently

ThunderBolt•9/18/23, 8:17 PM

tweaked as most as i could for reducing it, though is only a teeny bit :/

VOLKOULOP•9/19/23, 12:05 PM

Here you can see it very clearly. Must be a bug?

ThunderBolt•9/19/23, 12:06 PM

yes quite, the same as the previous imague.

VOLKOULOP•9/19/23, 12:18 PM

I am using Rubidium and Oculus. Maybe they are the culprits?

ThunderBolt•9/19/23, 12:36 PM

im not using em and still have it also, though i only noticed it now(i only played like 20 mins with the mod)

Steveplays•9/19/23, 8:08 PM

Oh yeah, might be noise as well

Steveplays•9/19/23, 8:08 PM

It's in advanced graphics settings

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 6:34 AM

Noise

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 6:34 AM

No noise

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 6:35 AM

AO with default settings.

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 6:36 AM

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 7:31 AM

AO off

SSteveplays Oh yeah, might be noise as well

VOLKOULOP•9/20/23, 12:56 PM

If you take a look at the last screenshot I sent, you will notice that both Noise and AO are present/enabled. Those are NOT two screenshots merged together, but one. It's just that DH terrain is in some (seemingly random) areas blurred and thus brighter. It's a bug, not a feature (as far as I understand, at least)

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 1:07 PM

Im still confused how they even reached that observation logically

Steveplays•9/20/23, 2:58 PM

It's probably the lighting

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 3:55 PM

Do you want me to put on night vision plus the sun dead center above?

Steveplays•9/20/23, 3:55 PM

Sure, I really don't notice what you mean in my gameplay
Not that I've been looking for that specifically though

Steveplays•9/20/23, 3:56 PM

It could also be a lack of anti-aliasing

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 3:56 PM

Can you click the photos and see the sharpness in it?

TThunderBolt Noise

Steveplays•9/20/23, 3:56 PM

oh at the top here?

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 3:57 PM

AO off

Steveplays•9/20/23, 3:57 PM

this?

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 3:59 PM

and bottom right, it is really noticeable

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 3:59 PM

if you compare it with no AO

Steveplays•9/20/23, 4:08 PM

@Null Might know more, not sure what's going on here.

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 4:09 PM

so do you see that is blurry?

Steveplays•9/20/23, 4:09 PM

Yeah I do but I don't know why it's happening

Steveplays•9/20/23, 4:10 PM

And I can't reproduce it on Nvidia

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 4:10 PM

Im on nvidia

Null•9/20/23, 4:19 PM

ssao is intentionally blurred to hide dithering

Null•9/20/23, 4:19 PM

you can reduce blur radius and increase sample count

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 4:20 PM

I dont see any dithering without AO, in what situation should be noticeable?

Null•9/20/23, 4:22 PM

ssao on, blur radius lowest setting

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 4:24 PM

ive set it to 1, i cant see any dithering.
Edit, ok now i see it. Its barely noticeable, i do notice more the blur of the edges of the voxels.

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 4:28 PM

With 0 its absurd.

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 4:34 PM

So the problem with AO, its AO itself. Neat.

ThunderBolt•9/20/23, 4:34 PM

Thx Null

Null•9/20/23, 4:40 PM

So what's the issue specifically? Could you not find settings you liked?

Null•9/20/23, 4:40 PM

guessing it's either too grainy from dither, or too blurry?
