BETTER haze effect. New and again improved version

Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:05 am

Just a teaser

Image

New quality details. Players and courts are almost unaffected by haze.
Bloom not visible on players.
Players and court brightness increased but not overexposed.
Better fading and realistic shadows and lights on clothes and shoes.
Overall feeling improved
Performances improved.


More pics later.

Thanks to all the testers for their interest and feedback. Very much needed. :chug:
I'm going to rest some time (working until 3 a.m. for 3 days) while youtube is working, then i think tomorrow i will send you this new version.



Rhenel_04, iamej17,
i'll send you and other testers this new improved version, thanks :)

ignorantfool,
thanks for feedback. :chug: Right now this new version is better and should be more smooth even for low end PCs. Maybe not really low end yet, but your help is needed for this reason ;) My goal is to achieve the best result with less stress and high and low version will have very slight differences if all goes right.

AGR, thank you very much for this! I don't know you monitor settings, but seems that the palette is working good on yours, too. (Y) IWait for next! ;)

tomozor and fumanchu, for sure!

seanjohn, are you kidding me? It's a question? :D I'm using your last global right now and i'm honored. I didn't want to bother you so i didn't ask... I'll be pleased to know you opinions on the effect and of course on the skintones. Thank you so much! :)

Pika, mind if I beta-test it too? Just really curious how my 5yr old rusty and dusty crap box would handle it. :lol:

I cant wait for the official release, i have been using a combo of the stadium feel mod and ac3 enb but i like this better but the beta 0.5 is a cpu killer, my old dusty cpu ran the stadium feel mod better than the beta 0.5 so im hoping the official release is a little more cpu friendly.

Hi Pika. With your previous version, I only got 30fps with it. Now, I managed to achieve 40fps with your mid/high end version. i tried to tone down the settings a bit, turning off the vsync and msaa, i got 50fps max but while playing it gets down to 40fps. I'm not happy with 40fps so I tried your low end version and good news, I get 60fps with occassional hiccups to 50fps. I don't mind the occassional hiccups to 50fps as long as my average is 60fps. Well, in terms of quality, I like the mid/high end version better, it just looks better but my damn system can't handle it so I have to stick with your low end version. We'll here are some screens of my game with it. Thanks for this Pika. :) btw, fyi, i'm using SJ AC4 increased lighting Global and my specs again: Core 2 Quad overclocked to 3.0Ghz, 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz Ram and Radeon HD7770 Ghz Edition.

The Haze Effect is clearly seen in the background of Bradley.

Thank you so much for your feedback guys. I really appreciate it.
I know the 0.5 version isn't optimized at all. LLuckily newer versions features better effects with less cpu usage.

I'm sending the new beta to the testers right now.

I'm using Lagoa V.5 combined with Pika's New Haze Effect Beta.

No problems encountered running the game on this. i have corei3 3.4ghz / 8gb ram / geforce gtx 650 4gb / running win7 ultimate 64-bit and i'm running the game on a low of 66fps to a high of 77fps...without this enb, my game runs on 120fps. this is all on max high settings. so it really take a toll on your fps if you are playing on a low end pc.

This gave a great new feel to the game. From the 2nd screeny camera angle, it gave me the realistic feel looking at the players' skin and the crowd.

Not too colorful which is my preference really. i dont like players looking too saturated. I gave screenshots of players with different skin tones.

Bargnani and the other white players look so realistic from afar while playing. and if you look at Bargnani's, looks real. i dont know if this is because of the haze effect or the court patch i have. :D im not really an expert in separating patches. i look at this on an overall as i see it while playing.

overall, (Y) ..will enjoy playing this weekend when my friend come over for a tourney... :D will post more if i see more...

Edit: adding new image. haze effect more visible and the crowd.iff....DISCLAIMER: no editing happened in the posting of these screenshots :D

your haze effect is amazing bro without taking any fps drop.. i just turn off the enb and only activate the sweetfx this is what i got

Re: BETTER haze effect. New and again improved version

Tue Jan 14, 2014 4:56 pm

My bad! Unlocked! Although, I sent you a PM. Didn't I?

Re: BETTER haze effect. New and again improved version

Tue Jan 14, 2014 7:57 pm

DMavs, yes you did, but i can't answer. :)

seanjohn1414, what can i say… That pic with MJ is :crazyeyes:
I've just seen the other pics in your thread and so far so good. :applaud:
I was thinking about it some days ago: "maybe SJ will come up with haze into his global…" And that's it! :D

Yes Sweet FX does the job with lightning. I manage it to highlight the haze, but the base for it is achieved with the ENB palette, so if you still see haze with sweetfx only i think it's because of your new global. :)

Also, as i wrote in PM, i think it's a little too much bright right now.

Thanks for you time! :chug:


fumanchu, thank you for your pics and your specs system. :chug:
Yes this is an average version for mid-high PCs. I need to know how it runs in order to compile a lower end version.
I'm with you when talking about colors saturation. Too much color and you're watching a cartoon. ;)
Nice pics. :) Good to know it's working good with Lagoa's global. I tested it deeper with SJ and Cams.


I really like the effect. I felt in love but hey, i understand it could just me. :D
That's why feedback is much needed and help me to better judge it.
