    I have to talk about the numerous Interior Lighting/Depth issues that the game suffers from (Image examples)

    Posted: 13 Apr 2020 06:17 AM PDT

    Quick pre-statement:

    This community has a habit of dismissing posts like this as hater posts. I would not have taken the time and effort in photoshop and in writing this post if I didn't care a whole lot about the game and wanted it to improve.

    Throughout my time with the game I have come across many visual issues that I cannot ignore no longer. I will highlight the most notorious ones in my opinion as well as demonstrate how it could look better.

    Atmospheric Depth

    When landing on a planet with no atmosphere some elements in the space sky are affected by the non-existent atmospheric / volumetric depth while the space itself is not.

    Example

    Not just the horizon of the planet itself is hidden under depth, but even freighters and other planets in the sky. When on a planet with no atmosphere, everything in space should look just like it looks like when you are in space.

    Additionally, when in an asteroid field in space, distant asteroids are affected by atmospheric depth even tho much farther objects such as planets are not. If there was some sort of volume in space that would make distant asteroids look misty, then objects as distant as planets would be impossible to see in such a cloud.

    Asteroids in space should not be affected by any atmospheric depth unless you are inside the dust of an asteroid ring.

    Example

    Interior Lighting

    Interiors built with the "basic" toolset do not light themselves up like the normal rooms, corridors and cuboid rooms do. Additionally, the decorative "lights" you can place down do not have an appropriate falloff making them light the area around them too brightly and fall off (dim down) too quickly making them not light up an appropriate area around them. In a standard render engine this can be described as a gamma issue, or a "linear workflow", but obviously in this case it is a problem with the game engine.

    Lit interior example

    Unlit interior example

    Next up, some bloom emitting objects inside standard rooms can light up the room to a criminal amount as well as blind you with an unreasonable amount of bloom if you step too close.

    Bloom Example

    Water interior / distance

    It is great that oceans were added to planets, but water has never been rendering properly, especially at a horizon angle which is what makes ocean vistas appealing.

    Example

    Finally, in the interior of an underwater room with glass (during day time of course) the room is too dark and looking outside does not even look like it's underwater at all.

    Example

    It really hurts because this game is always so close to looking incredible but at almost every angle it commits basic crimes like this that break every illusion. I understand that some people dismiss this as a "stylized artstyle" but stylization has nothing to do with basic lighting and depth principles of art. No art director with a shred of self respect would allow this level of visual inconsistency to exist for so long in a post 1.0 release.
