Pika,

I seem to have a different opinion about your enb, as i think the players seem more "foggy" in the comparison pics you presented, however i know you're putting a lot of work in this and i wish you all the best. I want to ask you something. What program do you use to record gameplay? I've used radeonpro recorder and dxtory so far and none of them could record a video.

The output file is just blank, although the audio plays normally. What program do you use and have you applied some special settings in order to be able to record this with enb/sweet fx on?

[Pika]

stielar,
you're right when you say that's impossible to achieve a REAL haze with ENB and SweetFX, that's the reason why i just call it "haze effect".
I understand what you mean, but i have to point they're not foggy, just faded in the darker areas…

But hey, things can only improve with criticism, then every opinion is greatly welcome, but overall useful!
Thanks for your time, indeed.


For video recording i'm using the Nvidia Shadowplay that comes with Nvidia Experience. It's really good and it works out of the box even if it's just in beta version; i've only to check the few options that offers to obtain better results (I know it's possible because I've seen some footages).

I don't know if it works without an Nvidia card (i don't think so, but who know… you could give it a chance)

I've also heard good words about Dxtory. It appears as the best about performance/quality ratio.
I've already downloaded it, but meh! yet no time to try it.

If you gonna try, i'll be looking forward to see your footages!

good job i'll give a try... but your colors are too warm for me a bit ! i prefer blue filters i'll be glad if you try to make a colder version :p !!!

[Pika]

stoeck, thank you!

I prefer a little cold palette, too. SweetFX already does it, but only on light and a bit on the shadow (also removes some reddish there). I didn't touch the midtones to not ruin the skin tones.

But i can easily improve the bluish aspect much more, just as you see on tv.
Actually i'm thinking to release at least 3 different versions.

Tried it and it looks GOOD, but unfortunately it's killing my laptop's GPU. FPS drop is too much noticeable for me, but other than that - great work.

[Pika]

AGR, thanks for feedback!
This is not truly optimized yet (that's why it's sill in beta). Anyway i will also release low-end and high-end pc versions, so everyone who likes it can enjoy.

[Pika]

Major improvements in quality/sharpening and boost performances!

I knew i could improve it a lot and here i am!

• new custom palette
• ambient occlusion
• fading shadows
• enhanced lights
• reflections
• skin tones balance preserved but less reddish
• players and courts sharpening improved
• more bluish lights
• performance boost

Ok so right now i need some beta testers to try the newest version (check the videos below).
Personally i think that the results are mind blowing and that it's ready for the official release, but i want to be sure that it will run on every PC (or the vast majority, at least) by tuning some aspects and release more versions in order to please everyone… So the best would be to have testers both on high end PCs and on the lower end ones.

What i'll ask to beta testers is:

- check both visuals and performances and of course give some feedback here on the forum (your PC' specs would be very useful)
- post some pics or videos to better understand what you see with your configuration
- don't send it to other people till the official release


Here are the videos of what i think is the best ENB i've ever seen.
As always, keep in mind that is sharper than it appear here and FPS dropping is due to video capturing.

where is the download?

[Pika]

I'll send the link to some of you that want to test it, so i can release 2 versions that hopefully will work good for everyone, high and low end PCs.

[Pika]

[Rhenel_04]

damn great! but it kills mah pc wew. hopefully you can release for low end

[Healer2k]

looks great
cant wait to test it bro
beta for low end pc please

[ignorantfool]

looks great on my game. i can clealy see the very subtle but noticeable haze effect your talking about. but i suffer massive frame drop with this. i run a smooth 60fps without it, but i only achieve 30fps using this. my pc specs are core 2 quad q9400 overclocked to 3.0ghz, 8gb ddr3 1333mhz ram, radeon 7770 ghz edition. thanks.

[Pika]

You guys are talking about version 0.5
I'm gonna link you version 1.0

Thank you very much

[AGR]

Some screens from 1.0 LOW-END PC version. It still affects on FPS but minimally.

Compared to the Stadium Feel Mod of SJ1414? Because that's what this is replicating it off, minus the color tweaks.

[tomozor]
