Sepia-Bloom (tm)

[Alex]

As an artist, i like to do artistic things.
Been doing' alot of coding lately, so i took some time out to sort something that was bugging me about KF

FILM_GRAIN.

It was a cool idea at the time, because it sort of hides low resolution textures, and I guess it arguably made the game seem abit "grittier", but in actual fact it didn't. It sucked hard.

So using the basic principles of film grain, and tweaking some shaders here, and repainting some textures there i present to you :

SEPIA-BLOOM(tm)

It changes the look of the game significantly. Colors are slightly washed out and sepia-ish, lighting is more dramtic, with higher contrast values, aaaaaand with the appropriate textures (Translucent things like Fire or gun muzzle flashes, or light coronas) we get a sort of simulated "Bloom" effect, which doesn't slow down your computer like the one in Soulkeeper (sorry guys, but that was sucky).

Behold SEPIA-BLOOM(tm) at work!

Oooh, oooh. Setting sun.


Looks pretty good though, you did well Alex, you did well.

"You have changed resolution from VGA to 1080p, welcome, to Bliss."

looks very good, I too disliked the Film Grain, I hope sepia bloom would look good in-game (in all maps)

I also noticed teh new health bar and a new pistol, looks good, keep it up!

either flashlight or laser sight

flamethrower looks awesome with a fuel gauge

there's a floating glitch at the middle right of the last image

Lookin awesome. New HUD is great, old one was alittle bland.
Stalker almost looks like she's made out of metal, dunno what it is though .
And by the look of the church, you changed West London back to day. Hahahaha...

It's still being re-tooled. The wordy text elements in the top right are being re-jinked for graphics.

Static screen doesnt do it justice because her skin is constantly jiggling and displacing light. She's got a specular layer now so it's abit easier to spot her, but it looks really cool in motion.

yeah, but I took some of the community KF-London work and spliced it into my build

I was also wondering about the glitchy thing in the pic, thought firefox was playing tricks on me.

dual flashlights! ;D

is there gonna be some sort of time limit on it, or really dodgy like alone in the dark where it just sparks off randomly -.-

[RoBoT]

DAMN !!! SO COOL !!!

[Abyx]

I don't think there will be duel flashlights.


So Alex, when are you changing the font on the hud back to what it was in 1.0? ;D


By the way, nice texture stretching on the rotor blades, I never noticed that before.
