AntydoughHello! I tested this on Hypixel, and it ran quite smoothly at 25 fps. (If that's what you consider smooth for shaders)

25fps isn't smooth, 60 is

Either way, my graphics card is back from the RMA so i can test this again

Hello! I tested this on Hypixel, and it ran quite smoothly at 25 fps. (If that's what you consider smooth for shaders) To be honest, this would be a very viable replacement for the Continuum shaders. Here are my basic specs:

Intel Core i5 6600k Skylake @ 3.5Ghz

ASUS GeForce GTX 950 2GB GDDR5 @ 2000Mhz

Gigabyte z170x G1 Motherboard

HyperX 16GB DDR4 RAM

Hope this helped in development!

So any updates on this?

To any future or current testers of my pack, be very aware that this is in a beta version and may be unstable. When testing, keep in mind the quality and condition of your hardware and DO NOT enable HQ_DOF unless you have no doubt that you will be able to run it. For reference, my GTX 660 OEM got about 15 FPS with HQ_DOF enabled at 1/3 sample resolution (By this I mean the RES option under Bokeh Settings in my shader options, NOT screen resolution), and my GTX 1080 Strix gets about 50 FPS on 1/3 sample resolution and 10 at full. HQ_DOF IS NOT a casual use effect and is strictly meant only for cinematics and screenshots. It is still a pretty new and experimental way of doing things in the shader community, and being the only developer that has implemented something like this I do not have any other results or data to base any of my optimizations off of. If you want depth of field that can be used on a normal basis, use LQ_DOF. That is the standard way of calculating depth of field, the same kind you would see in almost any other shader pack.

TL;DR use this pack with caution, as it has some new effects that really haven't been tested publicly until now.

Wait... maybe it wasn't gbuffers_terrain.... may have switched between them for a second... I'll give you an update when I can....

I still have errors with invalid gbuffers_terrain.... It could just be my computer as even tho it is an AMD R9 M275 its a laptop so....

Java cant fry anything, you need hardware permission to burn things. Java cant do that its doable but with a language like C++ that has direct access to hardware.

Keep in mind i'm not blaming him for the death of my graphics card. I know that it was unintentional and don't go thinking it's a malicious shaderpack

I WOULD HIGHLY ADVISE BEING CAUTIOUS WITH TESTING THIS PACK, I WAS TESTING THE NEW VERSION, THEN MY PC TURNED OFF AND WILL REFUSE TO BOOT

I'm confident that it is not my hardware at this time because i was able to test the previous version without any issues. And all of my hardware is new

Here is the complete log code from start to joining a local game.

This is day time for me, on maximum brightness, tried with default resource pack, same thing.

Intel i5
Geforce GTX580
Windows 8.1
Latest version of Java8
Minecraft version 1.10 with optifine

So I've fixed many of the issues you've found, thanks for the help. Here's a little change log of things that have been fixed and things that still need to be fixed:

- Ambient light has now been sampled from the sky to more correctly replicate the effect of scattered skylight. One step closer to GI!

- Sunlight has been darkened according to the exposure of skylight. I think it looks better and less harsh, but that's just my opinion. Here's a preview:


- The error in gbuffers_terrain.vsh has been fixed. This is what was causing the weird shadows that were only fading in when the sun was in view. This also fixed land normals that was causing AO to just be noise, and fixed the issue of beacons not being included in emitters.

- Fixed an issue with sunlight that was happening on Intel HD graphics that I found. A known issue is that the noise for water bumps and caustics is not the same between Intel and mainstream graphics chips, I will work on a fix for this once I can actually find out why this is happening.

- Fog, sunlight, clouds, and volumetric sunlight still have not been sampled from the Rayleigh scattered sky. This is because it looks like poop and needs A LOT of work. I will soon have a completely dynamic image depending on atmospheric scattering, it will either be in the official release or a future release.

- The issue with the circle on the screen is related to Intel HD and some AMD cards. A fix for it will come, but due to the fact that I haven't experienced this it will be a while. Bug fixing blind is difficult. Right now, all you can do is disable LENS_FLARE in shader options to get rid of it.

- Reflections on certain materials on the hand have not been fixed yet, I'm looking into a solution.

- The sky has some weird geometric shapes below the horizon during sunset, and a square around the sun during rain that is only visible with clouds and fog disabled. I know a fix to this, I just need to get around to it. My only problem with the fix is more gbuffers and drawbuffers equals less performance. Let me know if you'd rather have performance or a fix to this issue. Here's a screenshot of the bug, let me know if it's a big enough inconvenience:


If you want to test out the pack with the fixes, here is a download:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/11gi4x1fk1ya3un/Chroma+Shaders+v2.0+Beta+Release+2.zip
Same stuff applies, if you download it I would greatly appreciate your input as stated in the original post. This will likely be the last beta release unless more major bugs are found.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, framerates are surprisingly yet pleasantly high for some of the hardware I'm seeing in these tests.

As far as fixes go for the errors, I can do the following:

Intel HD is notorious for poor conversions, and this problem seems to also be happening with AMD cards causing the error in the gbuffers_terrain.vsh file. This is the reason for the weird shadows, and can be fixed by proper conversions between data types.

As far as the circle in the middle of the screen, I still need to narrow it down. I have a feeling it's the lens flare, but I'm not entirely sure as the thing that should be causing the most problems would be the baked bokeh, where as that is rendering perfectly fine. Anyone who is having this problem, if you could test by just going into shader options and disabling lens_effects and seeing if the problem persists that would help me narrow it down.

Reflections on the hand on particular materials is strange, I've been trying to find a fix for it but have come up short. Disabling reflections on the hand just makes the hand black, so there's probably something I'm missing in the gbuffers.

For the over dark nights, I have put ambient light through the same function sky goes through to calculate atmospheric scattering and will average the sky's color to get an accurate skylight. This should prevent everything from going pitch black during sunset.

At night my FPS averages around 55, with many dips to the mid-low 40's
During the day in a forest My average is 43-45FPS.
While in a grassland or in a mountain biome Average is high 50s, Same case with underground with occasional spikes to the 70s

Looking at water gives me same fluctuations as being in a forest
Everything is also extremely dark at night and in caves

Torches have a weird graphical bug when you hold them... they are just a white stick with occasional reflections.

Everything else looks as it should like in the screenshots.

Hardware:
GTX 980 Ti Strix -- Driver 375.70
Intel Core i5-4460
24GB Ram, with 4 Allocated to Minecraft
Running on a 7200RPM (not sure if this important in any way, I doubt it)

Settings

I get similar framerates with Sildur's shaders high and Life Nexus high

EDIT: redstone torches have the same issue. When I drop to 8 render distance my fps is between 70 and 80, and when i go 720p it goes to 110-120fps
Not much of an impact if i apply a 32x32 or 128x128 resourcepack

render wise it worked fine its super bright, but it said something about an error idk if the screen shot catches it.... also can see water for what ever reason.... looks really good tho

For me it doesn't render properly. Most of my screen is all black but around the cross hairs is a circle where everything has weird shadows. Sadly I can't upload a screen shot but besides that:
10fps steady
Laptop---
processor: i7-5500U
graphics: AMD R9 M275

I too experience the strange black ball near the center of the screen. Follows the crosshair.



Specs:

Biostar A58MD uATX
AMD A10 7870K @4.20 GHz
AMD Powercolor R9 270x (2gb)
2x8GB Crucial Ballistic Sport DDR3

Got about 30 frames on ultra everything, with Optifine, running at 10 render distance. No shaders yield an average of 160-170 FPS.

Chocapic V5 Extreme gets me about 55 FPS average.
Continuum 1.1 Ultra yields average 25.

Hey, i'm running fx 8350 CPU with a radeon r9 390. And i'm using optifine 1.10.2 HD_U_D2

I get this glitch where there's a huge black dot in the middle of the green with a white ring around it which gets bigger or smaller depending on where I look. The ground also changes from light to dark when I look at the sun and away again. It also says gbuffers_terrain is an invalid program.

I recorded a quick video to show you whats happening hopefully it helps. BTW the FPS when not recording stays around 59-61 FPS.

just did a quick test with my GTX 650 TI BOOST and and intel i3 3220
seems to be running at 20-30 fps on 8 chunks fancy with a render quality of 0.7

expected from the screenshots to have a way lower framerate but seems to be running fine

Allright Will keep an eye on the thread then for the update!

I'm playing on moody brightness, and its too dark. like day is a sunset and night is peach black!

with my current setup
i7 6700k
gtx 1070

i done some testing, after ripping out my 1070, turning on intel graphics and setting my cpu to multiple settings to simulate a potato/mashed potato

hd 530 512 mb vram - the most i could throw at it
cpu 2c/2t @ 2ghz = 10fps
cpu 2c/2t @ 3ghz = 11 fps
cpu 2c/4t @ 2ghz = 10 fps

my conclusion, the igpu was maxing out

settings
graphics - fancy
smooth lighting - max {100%}
max brightness
fog - off
everything else turned on/maxed
render distance = 8 chunks
VBO's - off

woulda done more testing but, each time i changed the settings i would crash and nothing would have been changed, and i dont like seeing my computer max out with such a little load as well.
hope this kinda helped with your research


no shaders = an average of 30-35 depending on the cpu settings
and a black circle was constantly on screen as well

yes this was in a modded instance, and yes i was running the world on a server as well - local host

Gon test dis shit boi
