Lumarit 1.1

New: Parallax Occlusion Mapping

Resource packs with LabPBR height maps now get real depth: mortar sinks between bricks, carvings and recesses look carved in, and the surface shifts as you move.

• The relief casts its own soft sun shadows, which spread with distance like real shadows.
• Recesses lose sky light, so the floors of cracks and carvings darken naturally.
• New options: Parallax Occlusion, Parallax Depth, Parallax Quality, Parallax Distance, Parallax Shadows, Parallax Shadow Softness, Parallax Occlusion Shading, Parallax Shading Radius.
• Raise Parallax Quality if you see stair-stepping at steep angles on 128x packs.

Better PBR materials

• Metals keep the colour the resource pack paints them. Copper, gold and iron no longer look pale.
• LabPBR metal types (iron, gold, copper, silver…) each get their own measured edge tint at grazing angles.
• Normal maps were upside down vertically, so raised details looked dented. Fixed for blocks, mobs and items.
• Material values now follow the LabPBR 1.3 standard exactly. Porous blocks like sand now get wet in rain properly instead of being treated as translucent.

Cleaner reflections

• Metal and glossy reflections are now full resolution: sharper ripples on normal-mapped metal, and no more sky bleeding over block edges.
• Reflections now include clouds, so metals no longer mirror a clear blue sky under an overcast one.
• Rough blocks (wood, concrete, satin and matte surfaces) no longer show a bright mirror of the sky, especially at low viewing angles. New option: Rough Reflection Cutoff.
• Rough metals keep their brightness instead of losing energy.

Exposure mod support

With the Exposure Aperture mod, holding up an Exposure camera now drives the shader's camera:

• The camera's aperture and focal length control depth of field.
• Shutter speed and aperture set the image brightness, like a real camera.
• Slow shutter speeds leave motion trails when you pan.
• The DSLR overlay shows the live f-number and shutter speed.
• Without the mod, or with no camera up, nothing changes.

Simpler settings menu

• Debug options are removed from the menu.
• Fog has its own short screen: Fog, Fog Density, Mist Amount, Fog in Rain, Storm Density, Underwater Fog Density, Underwater Light Shafts.
• Clouds now shows just Volumetric Clouds, Coverage, Density and Cloud Shadows.
• Advanced tuning options are hidden and keep their tuned defaults.
