There's 2 types of DOF in GMod.. The simple one just places a bunch of quads from the player's eyes along the eye angles. Every time it draws one it updates the refraction buffer. This works, but has issues with transparency I think. You don't get any foreground blur either.
The other one is done by rendering the scene multiple times into a floating point buffer, while rotating very slightly around an origin. You get a much smoother effect with that one - but obviously it isn't realtime. The sunflares is just a post process shader I wrote that explodes the light from a certain point on the screen.. garry On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 6:29 PM, Michael Corsaro <[email protected]> wrote: > How did you implement DoF and the Sun Flares? > > On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 9:02 AM, Garry Newman <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Do what? > > Anything I've done, all you've gotta do is ask and I'll tell you how I've > > done it. > > > > garry > > > > On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 6:04 AM, Cory de La Torre <[email protected] > > >wrote: > > > > > Minh's got it right ;D Like Garry had ever released how to parent the > > > projector, amirite. > > > > > > On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 8:10 PM, Stephen Micheals < > > > [email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > Staying on topic a bit wasn't the grain in the shadows introduced by > > > > valve because of nvidia (forcing a cheaper version to be used) cards > > > > that could not handle the newer flashlight effect in EP2 without lag? > > > > > > > > On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 4:00 PM, James Keith <[email protected]> > > > wrote: > > > > > Once again, thanks for the totally-explaining-how-to-do-it post... > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list > archives, > > > > please visit: > > > > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > > Gear Dev > > > _______________________________________________ > > > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > > > please visit: > > > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > > please visit: > > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders > > > > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, > please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders > > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
