Re: Specularmap thing again.
Massive battle beams has beams lighting up the entire side of the Orion.  It's pretty obvious for me there.  Can take more shots or video.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
chief's screenshots show it up pretty well, I feel. I don't remember anything looking that bad with the old lighting.

Right. Taking a look at the Orion images and the relevant textures, I *think* I might know what is going on. When specular maps are turned off when using legacy textures, there's no information to reinforce the normal map (this is actually a big part of the new renderer, regardless of PBR or legacy textures). With the specular map turned on, there's some of that reinforcing information, but it's not very apparent due to the darkness and low contrast of the legacy specular maps. A curvature map generated from the normal map can be used to give the specular map some more oomph so that the reflections are properly attenuated. I'll get to work on a guide for generating curvature from tangent space normals and how to apply the curvature to the specular map.
<Axem> yet still more insightful than #hard-light

<Axem> jad2.23 will just be cat videos

<DahBlount> So
<DahBlount> JAD2.2 is like that
<Axem> maybe
<Axem> it can be whatever you like!
<DahBlount> A Chocolate Sundae?
<Axem> sure

Re: Specularmap thing again.
I'm not sure it's just normal maps either.

Retail asteroids in current nightlies

I don't have deferred lighting enabled, but everything else.

Here's the log from my Mac.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Yeah, the retail asteroids don't have any specular maps by default, the specular information is instead composed of slightly darkened versions of the diffuse, which is not conducive to detail.

This mostly just tells me that we need to rethink how legacy specmaps are best created in terms of brightness and contrast.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Yeah I imagine that will apply to all retail, I just noticed the asteroids were really obvious via their spinning the gloss patches into view.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
@chief: I also see the Orion/asteroids as a perfect glassy shapes with no normal map lighting. For more examples, almost all of the UEF fighters from BP are affected. The Kentauri is especially ugly. I'm on Win10 with an RX 480, so it's not a Mac issue.

Stupid suggestion: What if spec maps are greyscaled by the engine and used as gloss maps? Would that effectively fix the problem in an imperfect, but "legacy-supported" way?

One thing that strikes me is that when the shiny cardboard effect happens, the highlight color is *always* white. It may be better if somehow it referenced an existing colored texture (diff? spec?), so that blue metal shines blue instead of white, for example. *edit: I guess I didn't mean "white", but the light color of whatever sun is in the mission. It doesn't look like it's getting colored by any information in the model.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Generated specular maps arent grayscale, they're just darkened versions of the diffuse map.

Doing a linear light pass over a greyscale version of the diffuse map with curvature data generated from the normals to generate gloss info would be the best method imo, but it would also be quite expensive in terms of shader computation.

We could also do some sort of hue and gradient detection to guesstimate which pixels are metallic or not and generate a better specmap and glossmap.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
I guess I am just curious, why are we generating specular maps anyway?  I thought the main concern was that ships without them should look like ships without them (like retail) and ships with them should hopefully look as much like them as they did before?  Seems there's two different issues here, with different possible solutions, or am I wrong?

Actual reason differs from modder to modder because of different views and techniques. Specular map defines how the diffuse look like during direct contact with sunlight on specific angle, and as FS is not stricte photo-realistic due to asset aesthetics, prople use many different methods to get their speculars. I use specular to deepen metallic look of my texures, make them more grainy, dirty, less flat and less retail-like. However I've noticed that large part of community are quite lazy at making specular maps, sometimes just applying alpha mask or desaturating the diffuse. Difference in that is minimal, or final result is just uglier.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Sorry, not sure if you were answering what I asked.  Sounds like you were answering why we have them historically, but I meant why it sounds like we need to re-generate them in shaders now.

Currently on hold while I fix a few bugs and finish off some models. I had to go back and rewrite some stuff as well due to some insights I had after giving the shader code another look over.

I'm also dealing with some personal **** but this thread is not the place to discuss it, if ever.

Sorry, not sure if you were answering what I asked.  Sounds like you were answering why we have them historically, but I meant why it sounds like we need to re-generate them in shaders now.
We only generate them if an explicit specular map doesn't exist.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Ok, that's what I thought.  So I guess my two questions for that are, why?  Do we need specular maps to be generated for retail?  What would it look like if we don't?  I would have thought it would continue to look like it did before.

Second, how will how we generate specular maps fix things like the MediaVPs Orion, etc, which already have them?  Or did we already discuss handling existing specular maps closer to pre-PBR earlier in the thread, and I just forgot?

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Well, I'm not terribly sure what it would take to stop generating specularmaps considering that the information is required for some lighting calculations.

I've actually discussed methods of making PBR textures for retail ships by using the original textures to assist in the creation of planar models that can be used to generate normal and ao information which can then be used in tools like Quixel Suite to generate PBR textures quite quickly. You can even use the generated information to create textures by hand in GIMP and PS, albeit it takes a little more effort since some of the functionality from QS or Substance Painter doesnt exist natively as single click functions in either GIMP or PS.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Generated specular maps arent grayscale, they're just darkened versions of the diffuse map.

Doing a linear light pass over a greyscale version of the diffuse map with curvature data generated from the normals to generate gloss info would be the best method imo, but it would also be quite expensive in terms of shader computation.

We could also do some sort of hue and gradient detection to guesstimate which pixels are metallic or not and generate a better specmap and glossmap.

There's already a cache directory for every mod directory. Would it be possible for the shaders to save the texture information on first load, then just load those up on subsequent uses? Downside is more situations like the PVI Karnak, which had users complaining about black screen crashes when the game was loading it up. For MVPs, the pain could be alleviated by packing up the cache for download via the installer or something.

I guess for old models that come with spec maps not designed for PBR, perhaps the best approach is to ignore them all and rely on engine-generated PBR friendly cached textures.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Pretty sure the cache directory isn't used anymore, at least not to the extent it used to. Regardless, the textures are generated on the gpu, not in the engine, so trying to dump them as a cached file would be a nightmare.

I'm also against overriding legacy specularmaps as I feel that could cause some outrage, due to the engine ignoring files that have existed for years. As I said, the best method I've thought of for generating decent specularmaps from the diffuse is computationally expensive and still quite incomplete because of the lack of metalness information to work with.

I'm still looking for good methods and workflows for legacy maps, but they're really not a priority considering we're trying to encourage the use of PBR for new textures at least.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
For what it's worth, at least FotG will use legacy specmaps for the foreseeable future if not indefinitely. Granted, we'll use custom shaders so default values and such are easy to tweak, but the basic support for specmaps still kind of needs to be there one way or another.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
As it stands, the current spec maps don't behave properly anyways, so I don't think it's a priority to make the engine use them, unless custom shaders specify them.

Anyways, my biggest gripe with all this is still the fact that many retail (orion, asteroids) and BP ships (every UEF fighter) look like absolute ass with their current textures in the PB renderer. If something can be done for that besides remaking all the textures, that'd be ideal.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Without macrosurface (normals) and microsurface (gloss/shine) details, models are, of course, going to look bad.

I've addressed the issue in the past on several occasions, I should probably just make a copy paste for it at this point. Anyways, for many models that were never designed to have -shine maps (covers all of retail and the UEF fighters), PBR isn't going to look good without people going back and making the textures (Hell, the current UEF fighters still don't have normal maps!). In this case, your ideal solution is not only nigh impossible, it's highly impractical given the nature of the issue.

I ask you to take the time to read my previous posts in this thread and others related to PBR. My knowledge on the matter is, of course, not perfect and in fact evolves based on my observations of other rendering engines, research, and things I encounter in real life (****ing vantablack...). I'm doing my best to develop workflows and guides to fixing assets up for PBR in FSO.

Re: Specularmap thing again.
Out of interest, I'm pretty sure I get why the PBR renderer makes surfaces without ... err... ~those~ maps (shine? specular?) look bad; but could you explain to a graphics noob why they looked fine in the old renderer?
