Screenshot of the Month April 2012 [Winner announced!]

Note that he posted his screenshot on the first of April, maybe it's a 1 April joke
Am I the only one who is paying attention ??

Nooo.. it can't be that

I'd swore it was a game too... Are we this lazy so we can accept something so ludicrous to be real?

I am not paying any attenton, because I'm staring at beauty Sheep-Cuties all the time, jawoll!

EDIT: 69th post! WOOOHOOO!

derp. could *technically* still be true, but yes. I now noticed the date, I thought people were more mature than that though.

what are you trying to imply, serengeor?

I'm trying to imply that you are a very creative person.

Ah. Well I suppose that's all right then

My vote goes to the zombi screen shot . I want to see more partecipants.

here's my shot:

Title:
Shaders Framework: GLSL from C++

The full size image is nicer that the version cutted by the forum XD

Short descritpion
that's a GPU accelerated test with the last trunk of FreeImageMixer. You should note that I written only C++ code for having that example working. Shader code is generated on the fly (and splitted into multiple shaders if needed) from C++ instructions.

What is hard is adding full swizzle capability through C++.

In GLSL you can do

cpp Code: Select all

 
color.rgba
//but also
color.rrab
 

doing that with C++ will require a lots of similiar functions. So i'm trying to find some more elegant way to solve that problem

Effects are added in this order
1) perlin noise texture (so clouds to make fog more realistic)
2) fog using the noise (perlin is not very noticeable, I tried to keep the effects as minimum visible as possible.)
3) blur pass
4) Depth of field
5) blum (using edge detection.).
6) slight color rotation based on luminance value (image mixer is using a different color matrix for each pixel. the matrix is generated on the fly. so it is not efficient and can be optimized alot).

the image is created using only 3 existing images (the starting images are not done by me.)
so i link there where I found the test images:

I just searched for good color+depth images. Only the shader is done by me (and all the work behind of course).

EDIT: changed the title and the description to reflect what that screenshot rapresents (and to shows the work behind that screenshot)

Really nice looking if i had a stage like that...

[REDDemon]

Thx I 've also found some nice fog shaders with FIM. later or soon I'll add those fog shaders to snipetts.

NOOOOOOOOO! JUST NOT WORLD OF WARCRAFT!!!!!
Two years passed since I finally win with my addiction, but every time I see this damned game something is happening in my brain!! No!!!!!!!!!

This screenshot is looking really awesome, great work.
I think this may even beat zombies screenshot.

OverHeat

It drives terrible with all those rocks. Who came up with that idea?

- soft-shadow pssm
- blooming
- multi-texture for terrain combined with bump-mapping
- blur pass
- depth of field
- small heat wave above engine
- sun-ray pass
- contrast and color saturation
- lens flare
- SPARK particles for dust and small rocks
- SSAO



Edit: changed screenshot to last rendering

[Mel]

Holy crap! Some really detailed screen there!
