:shock: Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Those shots make we wish Excal was already out! DJ and Nano, you guys have done some amazing work! Enjoy these cookies!

Still looks great, but is it just me or does the glow of the deflector look like it's about to shoot something?

It's called "color bleeding" where something Bright (HDR) or Glowy, bleeds through the edge. It's a technique to emphasize and mimick Camera Lighting.

The Deflector doesn't come out pretty bright on the top part there, but that can be adjusted in the Textures/Model.

yeah i noticed the bleeding as well in the nano FX renders. Hope it can be fixed

NanoByte · « **Reply #487 on:** February 17, 2008, 04:19:03 PM »

Ummm it's a feature, not something that needs to be fixed.

Are you guys serious, and don't like the way that looks? Or just not used to it because BC doesn't do it?

intrepid90 · « **Reply #488 on:** February 17, 2008, 04:41:22 PM »

naaah, I can understand them...
doenst look good, maybe because we arent used to it.
but somehow though DJ stated its the angle...
The Galaxy seems to be wrong in my eyes...

MLeo · « **Reply #489 on:** February 17, 2008, 04:49:57 PM »

Maybe it's time to implement real HDR rendering? Instead of the approximation people have come to "accept" as "real" HDR (ie. the fake being basicly a Gaussian blur).

BC users aren't unknown to the fake HDR, it's the Enhanched Glows, albeit a localized version (instead of the entire screen). Which is basicly what I saw in the screenshots.

It's just that the outer edge of the dish has such a bright glow to it in comparison to the rest of it. Maybe it looks better in motion, but the way the edges of the deflector are glowing reminds me of when Riker tried to zap the Borg cube to no avail.

I think it's more the fact that it doesn't look like how it was in the show, which was a consistent soft illumination that was uniformly a deep blue color.

One pack IMO.

Ok well that's in the texture/model..... I guess I'll just reitterate that both DJ Galaxy and NanoFX are still WIPs

Picard_1 · « **Reply #494 on:** February 18, 2008, 04:31:33 AM »

I'm not complaining; it's version 1. Let the man do what he wants.

Shinzon · « **Reply #495 on:** February 18, 2008, 09:38:04 AM »

besides, if there are problems, i'm sure DJ can always fix up the model (if it is a model problem) for excalibur later on.

Those screenshots are still flippin' amazing!

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #496 on:** February 18, 2008, 01:05:57 PM »

it's definitely not a problem with the model. The mesh is 100% error free. I guarantee it. It's just the textures. They're really set up for BC right now. The GE version may need to be different, but frankly, I don't see much of a problem. I think it looks great in GE, even if the deflector glow is a little hot right now. It's easy to tone that down.

Just so you know we got the normals sorted out now........ whatever Mark was using (Crazybump or something like that) wasn't making very sharp normals. We use NVIDIA's plugin for Photoshop, and now they come out very clear and detailed!

In the words of many characters in Oblivion: "By the nine!!!"

*cough cough*

In other words... COOL!!!!
