1.327 (beta) Ship / models seem way too dark again :(
« on: February 12, 2020, 04:00:16 am »

Not sure what happen between the last few builds but the detail of the ships are now buried in the darkness. Is it possible to have a bit lighter versions (or a switch) without having to turn up the brightness to eye watering levels?

It's really a case by case basis. Some are darker, others are way overbright to an unattractive degree. The lighting setup is very different now, and that interacts with different materials different ways. I just need to go through all the models, but I haven't had a chance to do so yet. The end result on ones I tune properly for the new lighting is far superior, but in the interim some look terrible. If there are any particular problem ones, highlighting those is certainly welcome. But I'll try to get to all of them.

Yep some cases they're so bright I need two pairs of facehuggers. ;)

The odd thing is is even when they're really bright the detail appears to go missing.

Also the bloom in some instances is over the top for my retinas. You managed to put a slider in for the galaxy map, is there a reason you can't put one in for the main play/planet view?
