Are you sure you have put all the necessary files to your LFS-folder? If yes, then I can't help you. It works fine on my computer.

I got it to work. Sorry if I troubled you

Apparently the config settings weren't quite done, so I fixed that.

Quote from ImportFantasy :Heres a test picture with bloom.In my opinion,it looks beautiful :P


I have to say that is the best looking bloom effect on here

Last edit:::

Mind posting your settings and setup for that picture? it looks amazing and i'd love to have my game looking like that =)


Pretty much if you use bloom to add depth to it then it works well.

Games that use pure images for things such as trees need to use a slight bit of bloom in order to create.. ohhh... that word for "poofyness". A tree isn't flat, and personally with the right amount of bloom you can make a flat tree look beautiful.

To the person who said "What bloom" it's obviously visible. Look at the tree in the background. =) I know for a fact that tree's don't look that soft in game.

I agree, bloom isn't bad.. i just hate it when things are like "OMG GOLD". Usually to take advantage of the bloom, many developers have started using it more in evening scenes, where it's... slightly understandable. It's no where near as bright and shiney, but it does give you a cool effect. I personally like the image above mine. =) Could you pass on your settings?

(Plus you can almost see the a slight shade of gold on the guardrail. only slight if you stare at it for 5 minutes.. which i'm sure wasn't good for me.



OH and for you rFactor bashers out there.

I think that the tire physics are amazing in that game. Sorry to say but they are a bit more realistic in a sense, plus i like the "heavy" feel of the cars. I feel more... oh how you say, like i'm in a really heavy car. Though i'm going to stick to LFS. The actually CAR physics are a little bit better than rFactor.. cause ISI keeps sticking to the source ISI engine. =/

Lastly in my rant.

=) CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH ROCKS!

I didnt really mess with the settings.I just used the original and got it to look like that :P.

Thanks .

Edit:Tested out some bloom.The first 4 pics you cant really tell that theres bloom.The last pic is bramskis setting.

Bramskis:
In the first 2 bloom pictures you can, but barely

it gives the red car a bit of a glow that you get when you stare at something that's shiney and red

If only we could get that "Crysis" one working so it doesnt make our FPS 7 xD

i mean.. having a red glow on the ground is cool
Tried out Electrik Kar's bloom setting.Seems pretty nice.





Credits to A.Gomez for letting me "borrow" his car :P.
Well it does seem to .... that word for "work together well with and make better" .... umm....

addon.....

....ummm.....

backup... umm...

..........

supplements? no.. i do not belive that's right.... oh well

you get the understanding...

But yeah.. I'll just use supplements.

The bloom effect seems to supplement/addon/backup/ecentuate(not correctly spelled) the reflections. It'd look really nice with that realistic reflection pack.

The only thing we need now is some nicer shadows in the car and we'd be good to go =)
hey, i had a little go at this made it so there was a good bloom effect where the sun is shining but without it being extremely bright well that's how it looks on my screen anyway
i put a screenshot into the rar file because i couldnt make it small enough attach it by itself hope you like it

I think this mod is great, thanks for bringing it to our attention . Whilst this effect may not be 100% realistic, I think what bloom does well is take the cartoony edge off the graphics, the changing contrast really helps, kind of like basic HDR. Also it does a good job of simulating atmospheric hazing.

Dunno if its been mentioned already but this also works very well in LockOn and IL2(if you use DX renderer not OpenGL). I still have to try it in CNC Generals

Hey, heres a funny thing. Over at the Lockon Forums they also have a "Bloom" thread going, its scarily similar to this one . Hell, they even have their own Tristan

check it out for more info and experimentation settings.
creeeeeeppyyyyy

Oh well

Bloom works best in the following ways

1. Sunset (limited)
2. Cloudy w/ sunset (ok)
3. Day time (city)
4. Rain (rain)
5. When turned off when the graphics are well enough that the shaders do the job HDR replaces poorly =/

HDR is good for the game for now.

Just properly used shaders generally look better..

but... > > Yeah.. that will be a while for LFS
I put it on and I get that black screen. Now I read the topic, but I don't have any idea what AA is. Please enlighten me on the subject and thanks!
AA = Anti-Aliasing.
it generally gets rid of the rough pixelated edges on textures and 3D models...

makes it smoother =)

unless thats the other option......

> > I get AA and Anostrophic Filtering confused sometimes
So, if I have been getting a black screen, and I turn the AA off, bloom will work?

And also, where do I turn off the AA from? I know these are stupid questions, but I really don't want to mess up something and have to download LFS again. Also, in case that does not do it alone, how do I turn of AF?

Depends on your video card, but generally right click on desktop -> properties -> settings tab -> advanced
