Game Post-Processing

[buccaneer]

Hello everyone!

 

I can improve game visuals with simple tweaks via post-processing changes.

 

If you need i can bake those transitions into r8g8b8 2D Look up table for different weathers. Yet its not a proper solution - since we'll lose some precision. Better rework whole colorcorrection and tonemapping functions shaders.

 

I can help with that simple, yet important task.

 

 

attached images (0001 is before, 0002 - after u can see much more vibrant colors and wider contrast) are edited in GIMP, yet i used only procedural screen-space formulas to change color. That means that those curves and fomulas can be transfered into game with little to no FPS impact.

 

THX for attention.

 

P.S. its really simple math, i assume unity already have everything needed to tweak screen-space shaders.

P.P.S i can create and upload more corrected screenshots (since game doesnt allow DX injector, im using GIMP to make colorcorrection)

I will never understand how people can stand these oversaturated, overly contrasted horrible things..

actually its under contrasted atm.

Main thing that i've done - streched color space, so now its not cut. If we look at any screen shot, game cuts away all blacks and whites, that results in grayish, washed-out look.

You can see a screenshot color histogram:

At this particular shot, we expect to see pure black and pure white. Yet image color space is narrowed.

So i make image space scaling, that removes grayish tint above the image. Note, that its all formula-based and applied to full screen, so can be implemented without any FPS damage.
