How much fps do you have, i have the same graphics card with about 7 fps

Michael Ellis

So I absolutely love PTGI 7 on my Nvidia 1060. However I enjoy modded Minecraft very much and I’m using Thaumcraft 6 Beta 26 as it is by far my favorite magic mod and I’ve been using it since back in 1.7 and maybe even earlier. PTGI 7 seems to have issues with the golem press as well as warded jars and nitor, when I place nitor as a light fixture it’s literally invisible can’t see anything. The golem press is just glitched our and has purple textures all over it and the textures are used in wrong places, like the table texture is placed over the cauldron and anvil textures even though it shouldn’t. The glass jars don’t even look like glass they let made out of the water shader texture or whatever for some reason, they move and flow just like the water does. I would really love if you could look into fixes for these if they’re on the shader end and not the mod itself!

is this free ?

wha

How Do I Download?

@Liam I want to know the same thing, did anyone ever say if it was a one time payment or not?

when ever i enchant something it turns purple its just a solid dark purple for my pickaxe or anything Plz help

Nes-Ali (Avali)

Just wana ask if i can do a onetime payment just for the shaders i do have $10 au and would just like to have the shaders so i wana ask if thats ok? (Edit) and i use a intel intergrated card did have a nivda but burnt it out

geez calm down dude

Silly Ivan

Dude, that's enough. All the other shader packs, like Sildur's, have moved into 1.14.2, and you're just NOW doing 1.13? I'm done waiting for your updates, there isn't enough of a difference to justify the money I've been giving you. This is ridiculous. Get your act together, lest you lose even more of this unimaginably generous support you've been getting.

Benjamin

this

Google translation When do you add compatibility with AMD?

Lilo

PTGI will be fully released when it's done. Wait until then.

aidan thai

or maby a less graphicaly impressive version?

aidan thai

will you consider making older versions avalible for free? like maby when (possibly) e8 releases maby you can make e5 avalible for free?

agreed.

I'm sad the leaves don't move in the wind

Cyro

Calm down, he's a single person doing something extremely difficult, *you* try doing this on a monthly schedule and avoid unexpected delays at the same time. He's clearly delivered before, he will deliver in time.

Must be a rough week for sonic ether.

yes i believe so

Is it a monthly fee?

Andrew Irvine

He's been working on it for 7 years and only recently making money out of it. He's earned it.

I don't mind delays. After all, this is an individual on Patreon and not an official company project. But, monetary contributors deserve an explanation for extraneous delays.

Ana Blackhold

Listen, it's difficult to swallow the whole "Hope to get it out within a week, but expect delays" when we all know that you get your paycheck on the 1st of each month. Not a single word from you within 3 weeks. If there are delays, that's fine, but not updating your patrons on these delays just makes it look like you're milking that money as best as you can.

gmodiscool15

$411,984 a year, damn

Avlrrrrr1

Oh, my God, are you hooked on the word "delayed" and ready to wait months ??? the developer writes that everything will be ready in a week, so he understands that there is not much work left, and I would be in his place if I found any critical errors and problems, would run to pateon to apologize to their subscribers who pay every month for $ 10 and are a source of income. Did you ever get the idea that he had already finished everything and did not specifically lay out to attract more "wallets with money" and earn more money?

Cyro

Well-said. I don't know about the 'reverse-engineering' part, but he's certainly doing some really complicated things with path tracing. It's very hard to design it in such a way that's performant without hardware acceleration.

Julian

You all do realize it's one dude literally reverse engineering a game via constant trial and error? It's amazing it's out in the first place. Stop being so impatient and spoiled.

Cyro

Patience is key my friend, he said that there could likely be delays.

Cyro

You're also conveniently forgetting that he wrote that there could be some delays, it's disrespectful of you and others who keep pestering with "gimme update!!!!"

Hey man, at least give us some updates, this is starting to get suspicious

Avlrrrrr1

How much longer? It's disrespectful to us, he writes that he will finish within a week and disappears for a month, it's terrible (((

verix

turns out he said that just to keep us subscribed.

xxrarity1x17

You can download the most recent pack, and then remove your monthly subscription. But doing so will make you unable to access other packs that you have not downloaded.

Is the $10 I pay to access the pack monthly, or can i pay a flat $10 for the pack.

Cyro

Patience is key, he also mentioned unexpected delays, it's rather rude to ask when something will be done.

and yet its been more than a week

cabeca143

When it’s fully released, rn it’s in alpha/beta stages

cabeca143

to have access to the shader you’ll need to become at least a 10$ patron. The second question i didn’t understand very well, i think you asked for minimum gpu? If it’s that so i would recommend at least a gtx 1060 6gb

When It Become Free?

How to Buy The Shader? And What Minimum Grapich Of Shader?

KGB_Thanatos

If you need a tester for AMD GPUs I am willing to test for ya. My current rig : AMD Ryzen 5 2600, RX 570, 16GB RAM

Adam Dein

I hope that you can work on the detail soon!

I think we would all like to know whats up, just to make sure everything is alright!

Lilo

Any updates? You said there may be unexpected problems, I'm happy to hear what's going on! It's almost been 3 weeks and you've been silent on patreon. Doesn't have to be simple or detailed, I just want to know what's going on so far! :)

Taylin Sora

if you bothered to read his overview, he explains that once the product is fully complete it will be free hence forth

Alex2216

When you have finished developing this shader, will it be released to the public for free? And released on the official site of Seus

is that any update which supports the light source of different mods like lantern in bibliocraft? BTW really appreciate your hard work

MikjoA

But most mods work on 1.12.2 and many don't work with 1.14

think again https://optifine.net/adloadx?f=preview_OptiFine_1.14_HD_U_F1_pre4.jar&x=f4e6

The adoring fan

there is no optifine for 1.4

If you have problems, it is probably because you are either in the wrong version or didnt follow all of the instructions from his ptgi e6 post. RTX cards work the same as the gtx cards as far as compatibility goes.

This is most likely because you are in the wrong version, or because you didnt match your settings with the requirements in the ptgi e6 post

Skyler Bueckert

I am 100% on board for paying you for your development. I understand it's hard work, but making sure it's useable with the latest version of minecraft should be top priority. Looking forward to E7!

There is a zip file, scroll down u will find a thread with the title: SEUS PTGI E6 RELEASE! it should be unlocked. inside it you will find a SEUS PTGI E6 zip file

i spent 10 euros for gold but i dont have any sheders

steve

Really appreciate what you are doing but you really need to figure out what you are going to do for the project though. Just looks like your milking for cash.

Druuzil Tech & Games

For some reason light sources other than the sun/moon don't seem to work with this shader enabled. I've turned up torch & other light source intensity to maximum in the shader, and there's still no light from those sources (torches, etc).

Cyro

And he said there could be unexpected delays. :P Don't rush the creators now, it's rude.

Fseusb

its been 13 days fam

A while later :P

MikjoA

Because it's still a work in progress, it's an experimental shader mainly focused on path traced global illumination. Those detail will be added later I guess when his PTGI is more polished. AMD card does not even work with it yet and he is trying to get it working.

Ponlets

cant wait for this :) runs decent at 12 chunks with minecraft more or less using the 16x with normal specular maps tho i dont know how people can use 1024 texture packs with it when i am using a 1080ti and an i7 8700k and 32gb DDR4 RAM

Anyone know why there isn't any rain falling on this shader? Other shaders seem to work fine but for some reason the PTGI doesn't.

Martin Sekeres

optifien is not out yet and I don't think we even have proper 1.13 compatability since the shader looks far better in 1.12.2 then it doesn in 1.13.2 especially water, the grass doesn't move either in 1.13.2 while it does in 1.12.2.

Greg D'Alessandro

Any idea when there will be 1.14 compatibility?

The card is just too weak nowadays but maybe it will run better on e7

Ryan Samuels

Yes

Alex2216

Hello, I'm going to be a member soon, but i have GTX 1060, does this shader work on my PC?

MikjoA

Then how come on your profile it still says : "This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment." ?

How to download? I became a member

Kyle Katarn

Hey Eric, check out the home pages description of this shader pack: **It does not take advantage of hardware acceleration on RTX cards.** This isn't possible for now.

CielMC

can you fix the clouds plz and is the shader pack using RT cores in the graphics card?

*wonders if it's coming soon*

can you make it less laggy with gtx 750 ti plz

You need Gold tier as this will be released in his experimental branch.

Zack Ziegenbein

What tier do I need to get this?

Lorie

Will it be better compatible with different GPU, such as RTX2070? Because I've met several problems with this shadow.

GTX

Would this shader pack work with 32 GB RAM and a GeForce FTX 1070?

Imagine the possibilities with glowing emerald block and proper glass light scattering! Redstone LED monitors! Also, it would be nice to add options in the shaders to add custom light blocks, so we can add blocks from mods there.

Feelpowned81

maybe glowing emerald block?

I too look forward to these additions, if the author agrees to the arguments

I also hope that the author can add more light sources to this series.

EmeraldCrafts

Go to the category "Release Archives" and where it says the download .zip file for the latest one, you can download there. It's perfectly fine.

This is a trusted download? it seems pretty sketchy, but hey what do I know, I'm just getting back into Minecraft from years ago, lol. Anyway I don't see which one I should be downloading, there's so many options, and many different versions.

Install Optifine, launch the game, and you'll have a folder called "Shaders" in the .minecraft folder

Ryan Chase

Not yet. He needs a version of optifine for 1.14, and there haven't even been been any preview versions released.

Will this work with 1.14.1 ? and now that I have the .zip file downloaded, how do I get it to actually work? I'm not sure how to get the pack into the actual game\

So, original Seus had underwater lighting that looked realistic.. buuut my version of ptgi for some reason has black clouds and a water thats completely illuminated? Bug or possible fix?

"The focus for E7 is bug fixes and optimizations. "

Ryan Samuels

Will you work on optimization too? I feel this performance is a bit to little

Pbotsfordslayer5

Don't Try To Get it For Free Become A Patreon to get PTGI e1 because Sonic Ether Works Very Hard On These Shaders for the Community and to even try to get it for free is Disrespectful to the Creator.

hi can i get seus ptgi e1 for free pls

I'm so hyped. You created some really amazing stuff. Hoping for AMD compatibility!

Make it possible to disable TAA. It blurs the image too much. SMAA is much better

Yes thank you it was the blur, by optimizing the game, the headset with debug and java for performance, I was able to get it to about 25 fps in vr, which is ok to look at pretty sunsets but for gameplay not so much. Guess I'll have to save up for RTX -_-

@John Haslam If by "washy mess" you mean blurry, you could try turning off Blur. But I wouldn't expect a playable framerate even with GTX 1080.

I have started using your shader in the 1.12.2 version of minecraft, and decided to use vivecraft with the shader enabled. Unfortunately the picture was a washy mess and I don't think it was entirely a performance problem. I have a GTX 1080 . Have you tried anything like this?

I think at first he needs Optifine 1.14, to make this possible. Last Version is OptiFine 1.13.2 HD U E7

Yeah I was also wondering if you'll have compatability for 1.14?

This may not be a priority for you, but I was wondering if any effort would/could be made do have this compatible with 1.8.9?

how do you store volume data?

Do u have this issue when u use forgeoptifine then glass windows is starting to make wierd glitch effect? Bc i have this and i hope it will be fixed, i just tried to use this mod maden by sonic for raytrayced sound and though it works perfectly but it makes that wierd glitch with all glassy surfaces. sry my english.

We will get there anyway.

Robert Dykes

no way to skip 1.13 and aim for 1.14?

Can u add it to forge

Thanks for the info! I guess 1.14 compatibility won't come until after 1.13 compatibility though? Hopefully it'll be close enough that it won't require too much more effort to adjust it for 1.14 too!

Sean Daniel

Thanks for the info, looking forward to the next update!

Soulshot96

Sounds like a good update. I look forward to testing it :)

Pbotsfordslayer5

Hyped for PTGI E7 :) Keep Making Awesome Shaders! :)

KayzerG

It hasn't come out yet he is still developing it

Keep it up ma man!

how do i download?

Performance improvements are always welcome! My GTX 970 is beggin' for 'em lol. Thanks for all your hard work. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to program graphics.

i just want to be able to support a higher version so it's more fun

Serg

Can you fix the way block updates work? sometimes lapis placed down into a space surrounded on 3 sides will not illuminate the 4rth at all...

Yes, I would like this as well. Sonic, are you able to speak at all about your intentions with AMD Radeon, etc? Even if it's to say that you have none? :D Thanks!

verix

it would be so great if I can actually play mc with ptgi on!!!\

Can't wait!

Ashchetum

I'm very excited!!!

Patrick Cumming

Hell yeah! Cant wait for 1.13 compatibility. I want to use this on the multiplayer server I am on for project pictures. Keep up the awesome work!

james hampton

Can't wait

Any word for AMD card owners?

Ponlets

cant wait lol just wish that my GPU could handle higher res textures and this awesome shader

Corosar

Definately can't wait for this next update. I figure cleaning up the code is bound to show some hidden bugs that may have not been seen. Here is to a smooth-ish spring cleaning.

Jorge López Tello

Optimization and cleanup is a very important part of the development cycle. Not only makes the project run better, but makes room for more features and let's you develop easier. I believe it's totally worth it, once in a while, to have a release focused on cleaner, more performant code only. As always, keep up the incredible work!

please support amd graphic card

I really love the shaders you made and I wish you can make much more fantastic works. We’ll always be with you :D

You rock dude! You are doing amazing work!
