Terco_Viejo said:Hello Developers!
A simple question easy to answer with Yes or No. Concerning this image that you have published:
Are "Precomputed Radiance Transfer", "Contact Hardening Shadows" and "Temporal Scalable Ambient Obscurance" systems applied in it?
Thank you in advance
Can't you tell just by looking at it?

I just really don't know what to think about the lighting issue. There is something that doesn't convince me...I may be nostalgic for the old scene captures but the new scene ones don't give me that wow feeling.I have the feeling that they touched something since 2017 with the theme of lighting and I don't know if it was really a step forward.
It is not the same time of day ... but in the new image nor the sky is blue ... everything is covered by a weird white matte effect...which gives an overexposed visual sensation.
Hopefully the devs have something like this prepared inside the sleeve.

I'm superficial, but except for the high-resolution grass, the mule and the reins, I would say it's just Warband.

Now that I notice better the mule's snout and the textures, they are blurred as if it were a low resolution.
Just as the scale barding looks splendid to me, the chain mail barding is terribly horrific.

Oh boy the bottom picture looks much worse than the top seeing them side by side.

I agree with Terco. For me, right now the game looks horrible compared to those nice images from 2017.
Don’t forget developing a game is not a linear process, the builds TW may be using for these pics might not be the ones they used for previous pics. Maybe the lighting or shaders aren’t fully functional in the one they used for these last pictures which doesn’t mean they suddenly stopped having them.
Weekly blogs are never going to show the most polished version of the game because that version isn’t simply something devs build upon or have at all times, they disable certain systems for different purposes only to add them back on later.
I figure only showing the most polished build every time would require diverting too many resources from actual development, so they go with what they have close at hand.

It isn't the first time there's debate around this topic, and plenty of "maybe" flying around. It would be nice to have some clarifications from TW, which is what I'd expect from more transparent communication. (Unless such clarifications were already made in some dark and forgotten place?)
I actually agree, I feel like the post-processing, lightning or something like that is a bit "off" in the newer screenshots and gameplay videos. The models look good, but it feels like someone started a new Unity project and just imported a bunch of expensive models into it.
It makes it look more "rough" and less polished by my opinion. Actually to be completely honest I feel like the slightly more "toony" tone for the visuals in the earliest screenshots and videos felt more polished. But that's just my own opinion and I understand some people prefer more "realistic" graphics.

Those impressive pictures from the past were showing only few characters, mostly one at a time. Possibly that level of detail was proven too much for armies, maybe the PC technology has not advanced in the estimated pace, so they have tuned down the visuals. Developement beeing linear or not, the icing covers less and less both graphically and in terms of features.
DtheHun said:
No I don't buy that reasoning, it's not the quality of the models that's the problem, it's the lightning and perhaps post processing. Also yeah the grass, trees etc. Looked way better but I doubt that would have a big impact on performance.

Totally agree with your points.... looks like we're looking at downgrades already...
And for your original question: if these features are on in this screenshot, they're really bad.

In the old image every detail is sharp, look at the texture of the house, or the detailed curves of the wooden stockage in mid distance. Looks like, LOD models/textures hadn't been applied for performance optimisation, there's no reduction with distance - aka those are not for rendering in real time. In that case, we are just comparing illustrations with real-time game graphics.

I really don't want to set myself up as a paladin of discord chaos agent or look for bad things between us and the developers. On the other hand I wonder, if each department has its own build, we will only see the game in its "maximum visual apogee" when it is totally finished and compiled in a v.1.0.0. ?
The teasers are castrated versions then?
The fact is that this rare matte whitish effect I'm talking about I've already seen it before and from that point I asked my question (no answer)...
I don't know...following the development of this game is like riding on a roller coaster...right now we're face down at ground level without having any fun...
