Well, where do I begin with this... a lot of work has been done.

Mainly in the areas of compatibility, polish and making what already is a feature, well... better. The two most important additions are Iris compatibility and M1 compatibility (needs confirmation). This makes it possible that pretty much anyone owning a desktop device can run this shader pack.

But I have to come clean. I have shown some features I was working on, that however didn't make it into this update. Most of these features were really time-consuming, which led to me not posting an update in a while... 2 months?! can you believe it?!

These features include but are not limited to:

  • Albedo fallback for metal reflections
  • LabPBR subsurface support
  • Improved end visuals

I have also been working on some CG research (that will potentially be interesting for my future shader work) and the new website a lot, so I definitely wasn't doing nothing the entire time. For now, this is all I have.
Now just lay back and look at this absolute chonker of a changelog.

Till next time!

And as always: For bug reports or other concerns, feel free to reach out to me on my Discord server or privately (Tech#2594)
