Actually, it is unrealistic. Any gas would have dissipated way too quickly for that effect to appear, especially on such magnitude as in Nexus.
It still looks really good though.

Not yet but I can do that real quick.

good because that is the one effect that needs this more than anything else.

So, does the following screenshot represent the current known problem that is being worked on?

First off, that looks *****in, and second off this is gonna make a HUUUUGE difference, regardless of how 'tiny' FSO weapon impacts are.  You still end up with noticeable clipping, and this is going to make it look a ton better.  Keep it up!

Also suddenly thinking this would be an epic thing to apply to beams.  Beams can hit at such an angle that their end is blatantly noticeable (if the explosion animation is not the appropriate radius).  So fuzzing it up would be bamf.

Updated the builds in the main post.

- Extended the soft sphere rendering to engine thrusters, fireballs (death explosions), and shockwaves.
- Revised the shader.

A known issue with this build is that engine thrusters won't render in the Tech Room.

Works well on my end. Bug found : ships exiting subspace are drawn even before they exit the vortex.

Ditto on the ships not clipping correctly issue.

In addition, afterburners seem to be missing some orientation data:
