how to get volumetric lights? - set settings to high.

Post by reaby »

Hi,

how i can get this effect (shown at picture) to apply only bright lights and nothing else. Would make night maps look so much more awesome if the lights had volume, and "lensflare" kind of bokeh -effect but with star, i think you guys know what i mean...

is there possible way to enable something for titlepacks, like using mood.xml or some other titlepack tools provided ?
if not, can we get such feature for possible future update :)

and to answer myself... check your settings!
looks like it was a settings issue... i just set everything to nice and high (very nice has side effects for stadium road becomes glass etc...)

There is no real volumetric light, it's just the bloom effect.
The blurred light texture is just added and that's it :D

To think of this more, bloom settings in medium is not enough and high is too much...some maps goes so hazy and foggy since of the bloom.
hmm... I kind of still would make a wish for good volumetric lights :)

I'd really like to be able to disable the light ray effect. It just doesn't look great

Well to disable this, just disable bloom.
I think best would be that you could set flag to certaint lights to emit such effect, so mappers/item authors could have control over this effect.
For some parts it will look great, but if all bright parts emits such powerfull effects the overall image goes hazy and foggy :)
