Reflection materials

[The_Impiersonator]

All the materials in the game seem super matte. Sone cars do have a litle bit of reflection, and I think that adding some ralistic metal reflections and materials would make the game seem a whole ton more realistic. There might already be plans for this, but I dont know how far the game is into development.

Havent played for a while, but several versions back, it was possible to set the reflection level of the car all the way to a chrome look.

Yup, still there.
Press ctrl + w and go to the 'color' tab.
The slider with the checkered pattern changes the chrominess

I know you can change the Chromeiness. I was talking about all types of reflections. Chrome isn't the type of metalic reflection that most cars have on their paint. There is also other reflections that non-metsla have that BeamNG does not include as well. Basically, my suggestion is to add realistic reflections to things.

Turn on dynamic reflections in the settings.

[The_Impiersonator]

looks better, but I guess that's as good as BeamNG is gonna get. The other thing is particles. There are no small parts that fly around when you crash, like cars have in real life. is there a mod for this?

A lot of visuals could be better in this game, just like a lot of other things could be better in each and every other game you can find out there.

However, those results doesnt just appear over night, everything takes time and some things will and has to be prioritized over others, for instance making the physics right in a physics simulation game.

I doubt it that the devs are so poorly gifted, that they havent spotted the obvious imperfections regarding the visuals of their game, so it seems most reasonable to assume that they simply chose to prioritize more important things first.

Id love to see better gfx as well, like who doesnt? Yet I cope with that by enjoying the parts of this game that makes it great and unique, while it gets further developed and eventually receive some graphical overhaul thatll make the whole experience even better. :-)

Visuals and materials a huge beast. A change in them can break all content relying on the old system. While that is not much a problem for our content, mods (all of them) risk to be broken instantly. Keeping retro-compatibility has its pros and cons.

Said that, changes that would avoid breaking things will more likely be done, but we have pretty much considered all the side-cases already.



About OP question, you can choose the chrominess of a vehicle from the color selector.

[The_Impiersonator]

So ,basically, the game could have better reflections, but it would break everything. Sounds logical. In any case, I'm just gonna explode more stuff :D

Nadeox my comment was a response to The_Impiersonator....I just didnt feel the need to quote him in my comment. :-P

He did try the chrominess which I too suggested, yet its not quite what hes looking for and that brought me to the response i posted above. :-)

honestly i dont play this game for the graphics and kinda like the spartan almost 90-00's clean racer look
