Keep it up man, u single handedly made a 10+ years old game look better than most AAA games out there. U deserve an avenue to your name in Pripyat my friend 🤴🤴🤴
@@BigCheeseEvie the only reason that this can't look better is because of the engine limits and low textures and low polygons, this guy literally ported a marterpiece of shader in a game with a 2004-7 engine, this is unbelievable you can name for sure 20 AAA games with better graphics but i bet no one can achieve wind+parallax+reflections+puddles+indirectlight+dynamicblood and i can go on with the future gasmask update
After playing Stalker 2 for like 40 hours, not even finishing it, I jus thad an urge to return to gamma and saw a new update. man you guys, modders really making some magic here
The way the game renders its environments now kind of reminds me of Red Dead 2, something about the lighting and the way it plays off the foliage looks surprisingly similar. Looking great, it's crazy how far this project has come.
Such amazing work, even now that stalker 2's out, nothing has changed, this is still a masterpiece of visual enhancements in Gaming and I will go back to anomaly, but never without the latest SSS.

Unbeliebeable what you achieved over the time! I cant get my head around it how a single man can pull this off with shaders 😮 Thank you so much for your hard work Manuel! Right now im playing Stalker 2 and loving it so far, the details, the "little things" but this game needs your work so hard. I imagine what S2 gonna look if you put your hands on it - mind blowing 🤯 Thank you again Manuel for gifting the whole Stalker Community! I wish you amd your family a beautiful christmas! 💙
Your mod is more technically advanced than the Stalker 2 implementation on UE 5.1. I apologize to any GSC GameWorld employees reading this, but you're clearly more of an expert. I respect that, and wish you all the best. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates to this mod
considering all the technical difficulty and imperfection of the stalker engine, you have done an amazing job and continue to improve your work, you are truly a genius and a master of your craft. I would very much like to support you financially, but unfortunately I do not have such an opportunity (I am a student who studies and works at the same time), so a few warm words and praise for your work and you as an author is the only thing I can do (please forgive me for this). I wish you luck, strength and inspiration to complete your undoubtedly LEGENDARY work and bring it to the final state you would like to see it in! I would also like to ask one question: the modification is great, but I don't like the bloom that makes the sky in the game just white, because of which the skyboxes are simply not visible, please help, tell me how to fix it? maybe I didn't see something in the instructions or on the mod page on mobdb? p. s. I am very sorry if some of this text is not clear, I do not speak English well and I wrote this text from my little knowledge of the language and with the help of Google translator.
Thank you for the kind words... About your question, you can adjust the sky intensity with the option [ SSS Setting -> Post-Process -> Bloom -> Sky Intensity ]
I haven’t even played Anomaly in a couple years, but I still watch each new update showcase you put out lol. I’m constantly amazed by how far the community has taken this engine.
Man, these SSS updates are amazing. If only it were possible to code STALKER Anomaly, so that it was HDR-compatible (doesn't work with SpecialK afaik). That would truly be the icing on the cake.
just played a bit with the new update and i kid you not, i could not stop spamming screenshots to a friend who also plays and we were losing our shit in the chat logs. outstanding work. the grass normals, the omni shadows, beautiful. massive, MASSIVE upgrade. fog rolled in while in rookie village and i was actually in awe. and zero performance hit! MH World taxed my machine 15-20 fps for their idiotic volumetric fog solution, here, basically nothing. massive props.
Awesome my stalker friend great job, just gets better and better every release. Xmas comes early make sure you on the package correctly as to get and awesome surprise! Merry Christmas to you and all the stalkers out there.
Meu amigo que trabalho incrível, depois do lançamento do STALKER 2 eu conheci o mod Anomaly e agora vejo seu trabalho, impressionante mesmo, um desenvolvedor dedicado, parabéns !!!
Again putting the for profit companies to shame with this spectacular display. All built on a foundation of love. Love for the game and the community that plays it.
After playing Stalker 2 for about 80 hours.... there really still is something about the way X-Ray lights and presents things that Unreal 5 even fails to capture.
hello ascii, another awesome update, appreciate your enormous work i have one question though, how do you get such nice picture? tonemapping looks cool af, no eyebleed, not too saturated, not too dim would you please share any secrets? like config tweaks or addon combinations
This is the Stalker 2 weve been waiting for. Now if we can import the map, and storyline into Anomaly with these shaders; sheeesh... Amazing work as always, you've given this game so much longevity when I show normies that are finding out what Stalker is for the first time now, they all compliment the graphics. Then I tell them the worlds are 12 years old 🤣
@@Alzav-w3t What do you mean? The world outside is not grey and washed out like it is in the video. I live in a post-soviet state bordering Ukraine and the architecture, nature and all varieties of blends thereof (especially the rundown abandoned buildings) look exactly like they do in S2, colors and all.
Christmas came early this year. Merry Christmas to you! Not only is this the most substantial graphical update available for the old Stalker game, I think this is the single most important thing that makes reshade redundant. I'M still using Reshade on the old SSS 21, but I wonder, do you plan on somehow integrating RTGI or something into SSS at some point if that is possible? I think that's the only thing that I still use or would use ReShade for (the iMMERSE RT effect)

Proof that someone with a bit passion and vision will always be better than someone without, regardless of experience or money
absolutely insane
It's a delight to watch. Stalker Anomaly is a labour of love that keeps on giving, much like the spirit of Christmas. Happy holidays to everyone!
Just amazing
Bro you are actually insane!!! I have no clue how you manage to post banger updates consistently! Can’t wait to play with this update.
The modding community is just insane, awesome work dude I really appreciate this update stuff (i think bec. of the new anomaly version)
