GIANTS Engine 10 improvements for Farming Simulator 25

GIANTS Engine 10!

Some interesting Engine updates coming out of FarmCon24. A new generation bringing a more immersive experience to Farming Simulator 25. Distance Fog, dynamic weather effects, ground deformation, and more.

Improved Fog

• Non-uniform density
• Dynamic accumulation in valleys, water
• Changing with weather, time of day.
• Volumetric lighting with sun shadows
• God rays
• Volumetric lighting for local lights
• Vehicles, street lamps, etc

• Dynamic Shadows

• Cloud shadows
• Fully dynamic based on actual clouds
• Shadows of the vehicle lights
• Merged shadows lights

Weather Effects

• Rain effects on vehicles
• Water droplets on machines
• Tire color darkens when wet
• Sticky mud on the tires
• Unlike dirt, reduced when driving
• Improved rain visuals
• Rain splashes

• Vehicles

• Interactive water simulation
• Clear coat layer

• Terrain

• Higher terrain resolution (1m), runtime compression
• Displacement mapping (12,5cm)
• Displacement mapping for fields
• Influences physics simulation
• Dynamically adjusted from tires and gameplayâ

• Performance

• Double-sided rendering
• Fewer vertices for thin objects
• Geometry size compression
• Automatic internal compression reduces vertex data
• Example data size: Giants Engine v10 reduces geometry size from 8MB to 4.5MB
• Reduces slot count
• Virtual texturing for terrain: 1mio x 1mio pixels, stored in 4-16k textures
• Cheaper terrain rendering (especially displacement and parallax mapping)
• Projected decals
• No geometry for streets
