Enable LightRays and HDR - HOWTO
by Adam Beer · in Torque 3D Professional · 05/21/2009 (9:03 pm) · 28 replies
Just these in console:
LightRayPostFX.enable();
and
HDRPostFX.enable();
HDR doesnt look that great, but its probably not setup right. Light rays look amazing!

Has to be seen ingame though to fully appriciate it :)
HDR is not working, DOF looks more like a fullscreen blur but i guess time will tell.
They definiatly did a good work on the other shaders :)

Set enabled = true in the posteffect where it is declared in script.

I think Ross did a fantastic job on those light rays. The way they filter through trees blows my mind:

Nod, very pretty. Just an FYI though, it eats up frames for lunch as well.

These are some of the best light rays I have ever seen. They seem so natural, not over powering like some other engines implementations.

#12
Please understand the below:
I not knowing what doing off light effect is.
I try, but found not what it is for not doing light effect.
Maybe someone can tell what to say for not doing please.
Sorry.. maybe I am being sarcastic! ok yes I am...
Szzg007.. your English is not 100% but I DO understand you 100%,
and i make fun of your words, sorry. I no not 0% of your language, so I

Seriously... Szzg007 makes a point, what is the command to stop the light ray
process once enabled ?

Will this be eventually added to the PostFX section of the options menu?
#15
Better than that, the plan is to have some type of posteffect editor that allows you to tweak more than just on/off.

LightRayPostFX.disable(); is correct. I used it when I modified my optionsdlg GUI to add a toggle for it.
