Which tool to use ?

Featured Replies

Hello everybody

I am running at the momend P3Dv4 with ActiveSky, REX Skyforce and Tomatoshade. Everything is looking good but recently i have read about so many other so called "shader tools" etc.

For example Tomatoshade (which i use), PTA, Envtex, Reshade, URP and so on (are there even more?)..

 

No my questions are:

- What does each of those tools exactly do and what does it to enhance my experience? (I thought i know what Tomatoshade does, which is Shaders for Planes without PBR but i recently noticed that it enhances also the clouds and the sky in general when i turned it off)

- Which of those tools are similar to one another ?

- Which tools are useful to use together ?

 

It's a bit confusing sometimes and i would appreciate some answers to my questions. Thanks in advance!!

Best regards

Hi! You only need one tool, the REX EF, IMHO (and maybe PTA for V.C). http://www.rexsimulations.com/envforce.html. I presume that you already have REX SF and HIFI AS.

Hi

Thanks for your answer!

So what do i exactly get from REX EF ? What's the difference to REX SF ?

Best regards

REX SF is a clouds/weather depiction program.

REX EF is the complete package that can Automatically change clouds and settings to match the weather/ location/ season/ time of day etc. on the fly.

Or you can adjust it yourself.

Could you say that EF does all the things that tools like Tomatoshade, PTA, Envtex, Envshade, Reshade, URP etc. do but combined in one application ?

Thanks for your help guys 

Some will disagree but for me it is all I need.
