Do not repost! Thanks.

Updoots appreciated! They tell me I'm doing a job well done and keep morale up.

See my other regular mods here.



Description
This mod alters how Kenshi renders distant foliage and alpha clipped objects allowing them to be seen further away.

What to Expect:
  • This does not add or change any foliage. It simply allows foliage to be seen further away.
  • This is a rendering mod, it alters how Kenshi renders alpha clipping.
  • It’s NOT a Reshade preset therefore it can be used with or without Reshade.
  • It should not reduce performance. It actually seemed to slightly increase mine (~1fps).

What it Changes:
This is a shader mod. It changes the hlsl shader code in the materials folder. It does not add or remove anything else.

Install and Compatibility
  • Simply subscribe to mod and enable and it should take effect immediately, no reload needed.
  • It should be more or less compatible with everything, including content mods that add or change foliage.
  • It'll be incompatible with mods that alter the objects.hlsl shader file, I don't know of any mods that do so aside from my own.

Feedback and bug reports appreciated.

A little clarification... Just for thought -)


First we check the alpha channel of the texture, then we calculate the distance to the foliage. This avoids unnecessary calculations for fragments that will be discarded anyway.


If the transparency does not pass the threshold, we discard the fragment before additional calculations...

Not sure how this mod will affect my now potato of a gaming laptop but I just wanted to up-vote, comment, and favorite for later use to help keep your morale up in this new year. Cheers Mate.

Seems to be causing an ugly issue where a certain type of tree which is common all over vain becomes partially see through. Seems to happen on a few random trees throughout the map as well.

Tested on vanilla kenshi with this as the only mod.

(also had issues with clipping on shadows that seem to be caused by imcompatibility with shadiness, still testing)
