Nah, not TG, but I don't like those looks. It's like just AO, not a real, defined shadow.
Were the in-game cinematics in KZ2 realtime or pre-rendered? I've always wondered.
I am pretty sure they were real time minus some special occasions
do you mean that prerender of the video you shared or the actual game? Because people discovered the trailer was fake
Yes, it uses spheres for ambient occlusion. ND games since TLoU and many UE4 games now use both spheres and capsules for soft shadows but only for baked lighting.
Super soft shadows are common in the real world. For example, during overcast days. But sure, not everybody likes themThe theory sounds good, but in practice I see what looks like a very low-res shadow with a bazillion soften/blur passes. Total garbage, if you know what I mean.
Nice thread, BTW!
I'm sure I'll post here again.
The lighting/shading looks dated but those volumetrics sure are nice.This
Bye now
The prerender. Has some nice volumetric effects, engaging animation/interaction (I wish we would get AI that feels as engaging as the CGI concept but one can dream).and some pretty awesome physics!

Wowwwwww. Which games do use that rendering technique that you know of?Yes, it uses spheres for ambient occlusion. ND games since TLoU and many UE4 games now use both spheres and capsules for soft shadows but only for baked lighting.

Forgot to mention multiple scattering:

Very effective though.Nah, it's just bloom, a la SOTC (PS2 original).It's a DOF post effect really. Blur more based on distance, coupled with fade to fog colour. It's not some super volumetric ray-traced light-scattering anything.
Bloom is a brightness-mapped blur and blend. DOF is a depth-mapped blur and blend. This fog is a depth based blur and blend. In fact, if you visit the link as I just did, you'll see it's actually described as a fancy DOF effect by the shader author.
Hahaha, Shifty, I was joking! Because of the SOTC remake, mostly. ;-)Bloom is a brightness-mapped blur and blend. DOF is a depth-mapped blur and blend. This fog is a depth based blur and blend.

the 3rd and 5th picture remind me of Skyrim so much.Ray marched volumetrics like in HZD:
