Anyway, speaking of bloom and coding,I used some old code I had laying around from my bright spot color controls and adapted it with a couple quick changes into a new bloom type. I am surprised it works because I didn't have to change the formula at all, but anyway, it is supposed to be a very precise version of bloom that only affects the brightest areas and is easily configurable. There is only one option you have to change to go from precise, brightest spot only bloom to whole screen bloom, I think it is nice but maybe to others it isn't, I have not gotten much feedback on any of my stuff yet. Here are some quick screens using it and the rest of my postprocessing file. Ignore the bad config in general, look at the bloom only.
bloom amount 0.0
bloom amount 1.0
bloom amount 3.0
Hopefully you will notice, it affects the bright areas but barely at all the dark areas, and it was taken with a bloom curve setting of ten, if the curve was lower it would affect the dark areas less. So tired from updating my file though, I cannot get myself to put effort into screens again. By the way, if anyone is interested, or got turned off by my initial release of my file, the version on the nexus is vastly improved now in my opinion. There are several new features like this curve bloom and also bugfixes and much better documentation. I hope someone gets some use out of it, I have worked so hard but only one person i know of wants to use it in a config. I get the feeling, maybe I should have spent my time better.
Sorry to turn into a mopey dope. I knew modding would be hard work but not this hard, and in the end not helping too many people. I will continue to update my file for the off chance someone does enjoy it though.
If you want, you can find my post processing v6 file on the nexus at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/33593/
I hope my posts about this arent bothering you guys, I will stop posting if anyone is offended by my advertising sort of posts. Back to work now.
I'll involve in it asap.
