NaturaLux – ETS 2 Edition (Enhanced Graphics and Weather) 1.35.x
Descriptions:
“NaturaLux” is a weather and graphics mod, bringing the visuals of the game engine to a new level.
Even with several dated features one can make this game look beautiful almost all day – every day.
So I (GerScaniaTrucker) tried to achieve that and by far had some success.
Certainly I am still not happy about the result and want to improve my work, as well as
I am waiting for SCS to update and upgrade their graphics engine to keep up with the new
technologies to make games even more realistic.
Until then I want you to participate in the Open Beta Test of this modification to receive
feedback and make the 1.0.0 version of this mod even better.
SIMPLIFIED FEATURES (as of this version (1.0.0ob-220719)):
– Over 250 skybox/skydome textures in mostly 8 and up to 16K quality
– Every single skybox/skydome texture comes with individual and the most realistic visuals,
as currently possible within the game limitations
– Improved, custom and realistic cloud shadows
– Realistic sun visuals (including custom flare)
– Improved skybox model (higher poly, seamless textures)
– Improved alpha channels for realistic cloud masking (sun does not shine through clouds anymore)
– Enhanced visuals during rainy weather (new rain streaks, no shining sun
through cloudy skies, fog, rainbows, rain intensity variations)
– Realistic and soft bloom settings
– New sound effects (rain and thunder)
– Some improved ground textures
– More realistic light flares and light behaviour / visuals
– Improved particles
– Total overhaul of night visuals incl. realistic and correct nightsky and star positions
– Realistic looks of the moon
– New loading screens
And this is by far not everything – there is more to come, as this is only the open beta.
