Yes I do. It was quite innovative for the time.

@bond1 - Is the shader being released today? It would be great to give it a try after X-Factor!

You need to have update 1.17 or 1.18. (Or project blue)

@Mazz426

Which version of FPSC are you running?

In v1.17 through v1.18 Beta 3 post-bloom.fx is a stock file.

Oh dear God, this thread was cool 'til you mentioned that show... D:

I'll have to see if I can re work and see how this shader works, then maybe recreate something similar in UDK. Te tone mapping in that's still developing atm...

Be sure to check out part 2 of the video then, as I explain in very literal, visual terms how the shader works - so each part of the code should make more sense.

Thanks bond for another great Shader.

Does this replace the default bloom that came with the v117/ 118 update?

edit: nvm you do replace it after you back it up.

Hehe, with Lightrays/Sunrays were terrific. xD

This Shader is so fantastic, it's allowed some nice effects, like this:



Everything is blurry outside the window, great.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks man, and the cool thing is, if could approach that window so that it fills most of the screen, the bloom will fade away revealing the outside world!

Gives my crystals a shimmering effect when your moving, really cool to see in action:

Now to test this with some other media I'm building.

Hey, btw I tried this with Blue UM and used the effect on my guns as well...

I must say it gives a lovely effect to certain weapons.

No, I mean it'd be great if you could have directional lights in FPSC, rather than just plain old point lights all the time...

Yesterday I was whishing myself something like this after I played "Risen" and I was messing around with an IN/OUTDOOR Level.

Today I can download it.

I tested it on my yet secret Project, and I need to say that is it indeed perfect.

I don't feel any loss of performance and it increases the whole ambience a LOT! Thanks a thousand @ Bond1.

You can do these. Just add transparent cone models and place a light in it.

Sir bond1

This is simply beautiful. Seriously, I could find no use for the stock post-bloom effect. I as so many others would just turn it down or off.

You sir, are a truly a value to this community.

That's for a spot light, not a directional light.

Doesn't doing that disable the ability to use Full lightmapping as well?

I downloaded and tested the shader and I must say; great work bond! Only down-side is that I have to redo the whole lighting of my levels but that's a small price to get visual eye-candy like this

Thanks!

which skybox would you recommend for the 'tunnel to freedom' effect?

A bit of a non shader related issue here, but every couple of test games the post-processing keeps resetting to 0, although i have it set to 1. My fpsc ver. is 1.17 final, I recently downgraded from beta 3 of 1.18, can anyone help or has had the same problem?

good frame rates matter...

Any bright cubemap will do that looks like a bright sunny day. I used the "Dst" skybox in the scifi skybank folder. The key is to give a contrast between dark and light.

In the real world, there is a HUGE discrepency in luminance between indoor lighting and outdoor daylight. In computer graphics, luminance is just a number between 0-255...not a very wide value. So to simulate that huge variance that exists in the real world, we use these types of HDR adaptive techniques to make it SEEM like there's much more range than there really is.

So just pick a nice bright cubemap to use as your outdoor environment, and use darker indoor lighting for that "tunnel to freedom" effect that Valve games do so well!

Hey, I know thats ridiculous, but were Sunshafts/Lightrays possible in FPSC with a new Shader?

I know, I'm a freak, but I like Lightrays so much.

@uzi idiot, your specs sounds like a notebook.
Notebooks are not the greatest gaming machines of the world.
But I think, your Graphics Card is the main problem.
Because all the rest of your hardware specs are okay.

Quote: "@zockerx yea lightrays are awesome i loved them in far cry 2"


Yes, Crysis, the new Medal of Honor, Risen, Arcania and more other nice games with this great effect.
Taking into account that Arcania is not a nice game, only the graphic looks great.

Great work on this, Bond1. We never used any shaders and were not fans of bloom- until now. Both of us are thankful for the time you took to do this, and the time you took to answer our questions to get us on the right track.

Appreciate all your efforts you provide for us in the community.

Just had a look at your videos and at the shader file. I must say, very clever method of adaptive bloom.

Good work!

I'm currently working through mimicking this in the UDK material editor...

I've sussed out using a Constant Clamp to get the effect you have where you remove darker areas of the image. Just need to find a way to add blurs into the mix, then I could add them together and tweak from there...

Good thing is I'm using parameters, so I can edit the values of the clamps, etc on the fly if I need to in game.

It's some great work here Bond. I can't wait 'til you release your parralax shader pack so I can have a look at what wizardry you've done there...
