Title says pretty much all. When will physically based rendering added to the T3 cruisers?

It has been mentioned in the Rhea release, that T3 PBR will soon follow, but I haven't heard any news about it since then.

Quote:
"With Rhea, all ships except T3 strategic cruisers get rendered with PBR techniques. Upcoming releases will continue to apply these methods to more parts of EVE. "

I was wondering, because it is stated in the patch notes for Carnyx that ALL ships are gaining the second stage of PBR.

Quote:
"The second iteration of PBR has been applied to all ships, capital wrecks, turrets and drones."

But the T3 cruisers appearance haven't changed a bit. So, Am I missing something or does anyone have a dev blog/forum post with more info?

Is this some bad attempt at trolling or something? It has already been added to every single ship and everything in the game.
You must have a faulty GPU or something.

Actually if I remember correctly claymore said of t3s " those divas will need to be addressed separately" can't remember where he said that but it was in relation to pbr

This is not right. Do yourself a favor and take a close look at the Legion and Apocapyse for example. There is a HUGE difference regarding light reflections, texture sharpness and more important, the detail of the uprisings. That's what PBR is for.

I think the issue with PBR on the T3 is the game doesnt load the ship as a whole, but instead loads and renders each subsystem and then places them together, so it could lead to some strange texture mishaps or accidental ship seperation on screen.


You can see this if you use Triexporter or if your in a busy system and it doesnt render your whole ship at once and instead does it piece by piece

T3 Strategic Cruisers are something of a special snowflake in EVE, so it will require some additional development attention to update them. However, we are well aware of their importance and they'll be incorporated into future releases as we apply V5++ to more assets.

About a 7 for technical complexity, a 3 on the art side.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Thanks for the Info. I was looking for that. Do you have a link?

After reading through the last Devblogs, I found the corresponding Info.

PBR is not active for T3s, like others here have stated.

So, the next time you accuse me of trolling or my "faulty" GPU, you should check your graphic settings,
looks like you are playing with lowest shader details without knowing it.

Additionally, you may visit your local eye doctor. Or simply put your glasses on.

Thanks for your "help", nonetheless.
