Deferred rendering
This mod adds deferred rendering support to KSP. This is a new mod independent from Scatterer and EVE.Deferred rendering decouples geometry rendering from lighting, allowing for more modern lighting techniques to be used, and better lighting performance with many light sources.Better lighting, automatic PBR conversionUsing deferred rendering "locks" the game into using a unified lighting model for all opaque objects, so naturally the best...

In order to do that I've added support for flowmaps, which allow for localized movement/flow within the clouds. The flowmaps can be used to create vortices, moving bands, tornadoes and have a very dynamic look. An in-game painter allows for easily p...
