Good one 😂

That's reasonable because it's one of the better games from both dev and player perspectives

Visually and audibly the game is stunning and on a whole other level from typical games, just unfortunate that it incorporates anime and gambling (and children 0-0)

@@fulgurskye "unfortunate that it incorporates anime [...] and children" how is that bad 💀

I can't blame him. It's gorgeous.

Fresnel > Bounce light

Another very important effect for realism is subsurface scattering. Without subsurface scattering, organic objects look like plastic. With subsurface scattering, it looks correct.

damn here i was thinking "wow you must be old if you lived in an era when fresnel had to be added with patch jobs" and then i remembered the old PBR workflow for blender needed creating your own fresnel node setup to then drive the mix factor.......... and realised I'm old too.

I'm pretty sure Mario galaxy doesn't use any fresnal shading at all. It uses some clever tricks that kind of look like it but not real fresnal. Edit: went and checked out some videos to double check I wasn't spreading misinformation. Mario galaxy uses displacement maps to give a fresnal like appearance but not a true fresnal shader.

Nope, SMG was definitely not the first one to do it. My money's on two of the 2004's big-3 triple-A PC exclusives, Far Cry 1 and Half-Life 2. Latter especially did stellar job with its water shaders, and still looks amazing to this day. It's just bizarre how we've gone backwards in terms of water reflections and refractions since then.

@@Reecetafarian When it comes to graphics shaders, it doesn't matter what the algorithm used to create the effect is. Whatever techniques are used, the result is a high level of reflectivity on geometry that is at a shallow angle of incidence. This is the end result of the Fresnel effect and it is used extensively in Mario Galaxy, being it's signature look. Mario Galaxy was not the first to use it, nor was it the last, but the Fresnel effect is very much a part of its graphics. Displacement maps are not responsible for this type of effect, it is similar to bump mapping or parallax mapping, adding geometric detail to a surface.

its great for planet shaders

Have you ever heard of Guilty Gear ?

@@thegamerfe8751 have you ever heard of a good game lmao

Guilty Gear Strive does a great job at improving the visuals in FighterZ. But having smaller stages than anything like Genshin probably helps.

@@GreenTeaTheTea Have you ever played a game that isn't gambling with anime ? Imagine defending Genshin fucking Impact by calling Guilty Gear of all games bad, heck I didn't even say anything bad about Genshin. Guess the people calling Genshin fans toxic are right after all 🤷

@@thegamerfe8751 im not defending genshit impact that game sucks donkey ass too lmao

Would be funny if they actually added an NPC named Fresnel in the Fontaine update.

Wait it does? But I add Fresnel to blender manually tho

he used a lot of wrong examples. for example i think that valerent uses an inverted hull shader to get the outlines.

wy say ting wit mny lettr wen few lettr do trik

@@_ZEG yu speld letr wit 2 t , is to mux

Yeah, you are right. Sometimes I feel like artists never can just learn physics like normal people, they have to overpresume and fuck up everything they see... half of comments here make me die from cringe(I know physics and cg programming)

Do you disagree?

To be fair, Fresnel can be used to make the stuff he mentioned

and valerent uses the standard fliped normals for outlines. In fact frenel looks terrible for most outline applications because it has problems with line thickness.

The terms have been thrown around a bit in the video, so to clarify: The fresnel value/intensity itself is determined by the angle between the view direction and the surface normal, the light has nothing to do with the fresnel intensity itself. Shading that is determined by the angle of the light direction and the surface is... well, just shading, whether realistic or stylized, because it tells you how much something is in shadow. Often, the two are combined, with the stylized examples of outlines on characters being the most noticable. As with many things in shaders, they arent exclusive, they can be combined and used in different ways, depending on the application. Also, Cell shading doesn't necessarily include fresnel effects, as cell shading is just normal shading that is stepped, i.e. no gradient between light and dark, only distinct patches of different shades.

Oh no, sexualized! How horrible! Gotta pray the sinful thoughts away!

@@SheevlordSexualized characters in a game aren't for everyone. You might like it, but many (dare I say most) find it pretty weird.

@@cancername Most? I'm going to need a source to support this claim.

Sure who would like to look at those filthy disgusting human bodies, UGH

​@@Sheevlord I'm going off my own experience when I say that. However, there is evidence that s‌e‌xualization of men and women is prevalent in video games[1], sexualization of women in video games may be harmful to women's self-perception[2], related to online s‌e‌‌xual harassment[3], related to real-life sexism[4], related to decreased empathy for female victims of violence[5], and promote hostile sexism against women[6].

I think you mean Cel shading. Look up the Wikipedia article for it, KZfaq unfortunately doesn't allow links in comments.

SSR probably has to do with the color of the material While Fresnel determines the reflectivity

@@RenderingUser Yes, I think tehyt also tweaked both variables in order to hide the SSR limitations

when it comes to materials in cgi, terms like "reflectivity" are just stand-ins for the intensity of whatever visual effect is tied to the value. it doesn't matter if the real life equivalent of the material is reflective or not; if you want something to have your renderer's reflectivity effect, you can just crank that reflectivity value up and make the _shiniest_ piece of wood or strand of hair or entire chicken or, if you're more concerned about what happens when adding fresnel shaders without replacing a reflectivity effect that your renderer already has ( and one you don't want showing up on things that aren't actually meant to be reflective ), you just ... don't tie the effect to the material's reflectivity. hell, i'm p. sure you won't find all that many implementations that actually link the effect to a material's reflectivity in the first place, because that only makes sense for an engine with shader support too rudimentary to just let you slap a configurable fresnel shader on a material. which would be some p. ancient tech at this point

Technically it have nothing to do with reflections, just with the angle of the surface relative to the viewer

@@FalseBelievers oh yea, forgot about that. terminology got mixed up in my brain ig

​@@JetFightzer In the real world it controls the ratio of reflected light to refracted light depending on that angle. But you're right that the effect itself need not be so restricted when used in a stylized context. It's a tool that the artist can use however they want.

You can also take demon slayer hinokami chronicles for example

If you use the art directly from that anime you gonna get into copyright problems

Found it: Jim Swim - New Tattoo dunno about the instrumeental one tho

lmao, I didn't even notice

Think it was a side-effect of the times. How few people lived an educated life,specialized in his area of science, and had the right amount of factors influencing them to create the conditions to have them try something different. Since the Internet ideas are shared and built into bigger things by a bigger variety of people. In the case of videogames Modding communities are a example of this.
