What kind of shader is this?

HDR lolll what ignorance sorry to tell you , is has nothing to do with it.. HDR is a texture, and it contains all the info about where light should come from (the bright areas) ... istead of just one spot like sun for exemple.. ehe LIKE this:






And the sun you see is a shader ( gloom shader :s if im not wrorng)

ok, this game is from a 3dgs user?

The effect in the halo screenshot is never HDR lightning. And HDR isn't a texture too. HDR is a technique that... let's say, it makes the camera eye-like. eg, if you look from a bright outside level into a more or less dark cave, it appears totally black. In contrast, if you're in the cave and look out, you see the outdoor level absolutely white for a moment, and after some seconds you begin to see something outside, but the cave gets darker. Let's say, HDR just increases the range of lightning :P

@NMS: I don't know what kind of shader that is, but if the xbox can manage it, it can't be too complicated

You guys should be nice.

HDR stands for High Dynmaic Range lighting - and is a technique that allows for the storage of a much wider range of light values than a typical 24-bit image. Cameras are very limited by how much contrast range they can capture - with HDR lighting you can assemble a series of photos taken at different exposures to create a HDR image - there are different formats for this, and like all image formats there is competition to define an HDR standard.

More than dynamic range - HDR has come to be associated with light probes and capturing light in a 360 degree panorma. This can acurately represent the lighting in a scene, light that comes from all directions in real life. An added benefit, is that this 360 degree panoramic HDR image can be used for environment reflections. The results - as seen above can be quite stunning. There is an effort to implement HDR lighting in games - and should provide for some very interesting possibilities.

This is at least how I understand it. Someone with more knowledge might be able to clarify it a bit.

This technique of the volumetric lights in trees has me stumped as well. When I first saw it I think I sat there for an hour trying to figure it out. Maybe it is just models that are coded to point towards the sun, or sprites somehow, or???

Maybe a game guru can help us out!

Where can i find a Bloom shader that works in a 6.12/6.20 engine?

Perhaps you must find first your own way back to the legal routes.. you should update to the actual version of the engine - or if you have strange reasons why this doesnt work you have to simply buy it. Because A6.2 is the golden key for conitec to unlimited richness! You know it, rainbows and golden pots on the other side - hehe

Thanks for your advance.
Any more detail how to do?
Thanks already.

It isn't a shader. This is a fake volumetric sun lighting script sorry guys, pretty easy to replicate.

In the Lightwave manual they say that HDR (they call it HDRI high dynamic range illumination) means that Lightwave calculates intern with more than only the RGB colors. That means they can use numbers for each channel that has more than 256. They can create images that could be displayed better than your monitor actually can. It can mean that total black or total bright is not really 0,0,0 or 255,255,255. It can be something different.

So HDR is more accurate with lighting. Whatever effects they create theses effects are only a result of HDR calculating. These effects are not HDR.
