TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
some self-made masked textures got "unmasked" for me with the d3d9 renderer...
Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
oh, and it does not matter how is set the two "MaskedHack" and "SmoothMasked" switches, they remain unmasked. And it is very annoying, cos not every home-made masked texture does this. And the original textures do not do that at all.
Any ideas?

Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
hmm... this never happened to me... I have no idea what it could be. I also stopped using this cause I care more about my pc's performance and my gaming performance for which the opengl drv is the best.
I suggest using different versions of dx9 render, updating your directx version, updating your gfx card drivers.

Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
Here are a couple of shots showing the glossyness of ENB Series.
More pics done "with and without" ENB switched on are in my gallery.

All these pics are from the CTF version of GangOfFrontCity I am working on (think of the film Cloverdale).
...Yes they are working vehicles
Note: I have packaged a complete archive of ENB plus any and all extra files needed or useful. It is in a 5MB 7zip file.
This has lots of exmaple configs and help, including a quick Google-translation of the Russian help file for ENBTuner (needs to be done properly).

From the Spidey to the Green Lantern, you're using Chris Ollis' superhero skin packs.
I team colored most of those!

Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
Yeah I have two comic packs installed. Spidey and Judge Anderson are my two hardest bots to try and sneak up on. I set them on max alertness as Spidey has "Spidey-sense" and Anderson is psychic

Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
The Bloom effect is cool ...but nowadays every F***ing FPS use it and it looks so unrealistic in so many cases.
If you don't wash your eyes out with vinaigrette you will never have the Bloom effect in real-live.
But I have to point out ... "unrealistic" fits UT perfectly.

Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
Actually I do agree, most of the time it just makes it harder to see things, or makes it look like a soft-focus love scene
but I have found with the right maps it can enhance it very nicely (a lot of people fail to set it up properly and it looks awful or just strange).
This GangOfFrontCity map is perfect for it, as it is a dark map, but with lots of lights (try those kind of maps).
If UT mappers added the day and night tags Deus Ex maps use it would behave a lot better for bright day maps (not sure if it can be added).
I may have to make a list of maps that work well with it.
DM-Deadwood works well with it.
Shadow is building bloom into the SDK so it will become a standard feature, though may well look different to ENB.

Hm don't know yet if I'm really implementing Bloom, I think it's kinda overrated real HDR is better anyway and post processing isn't anything.Dr.Flay wrote:Actually I do agree, most of the time it just makes it harder to see things, or makes it look like a soft-focus love scene

Re: TUTORIAL: Bloom for UT99
Just as well ENB does a lot more than add bloom.
You can use it without bloom, if you just want D.O.F. or bump-mapping etc.
