		 Wrath #5082 posted by Lunaran  on 2008/09/10 22:08:06it doesn't make any goddamn difference at all.  "warm" or "cool" is a much bigger decision than "50% saturated" or "60% saturated."  quit obsessing over it.  
		
		#5083 posted by wrath  on 2008/09/10 22:19:25Thanks everybody!
 Shamb,
 
 Yeah. But then again, fuck your mother.
 
 Lun,
 
 The difference is more than simply ten percent saturation. It's desaturated and then color graded to drain the blue out of the picture. I've also adjusted the levels slightly.
 
 A is completely undoctored, by the way.
 
		 Duh #5084 posted by Kinn  on 2008/09/10 22:48:52clearly the next-gen solution is to desaturate it and hue-shift everything to brown, so B obviously.
 After all, that's what sold the bazillion copies of Gears of War, not the fun visceral combat or anything.
 
 Keep tweakin' those colour levels!

 peace!!!
 
 
 ps-> i cant coment on a engine i dont know ;)
 
		 Post Processing #5087 posted by Lunaran  on 2008/09/11 00:23:04covers up poor art direction and bad lighting.
 Can't coordinate a project well enough to pick colors that match in any given scene?  Fix it in post!
 Your lighting model (or your lighters) too shitty to make a scene look halfway believable?  Fix it in post!
 Blew your texture budget so hard the entire scene devolves into visual noise?  Fix it in post!
 
		
		#5088 posted by Zwiffle  on 2008/09/11 01:06:03Are you upset that Aliens: Colonial Marines post processed over your stuff?  
		 Uh... #5089 posted by metlslime  on 2008/09/11 01:14:41The color difference between shots A and B is less than the color difference between two randomly chosen monitors, so it's pointless to worry about it.  
		 Hmm #5090 posted by nonentity  on 2008/09/11 01:34:29Trinca, why can you not comment on the aesthetic appeal of two comparative images? Imagine they're actual RL rooms, I assume you can deal with that concept (unless you continually walk into walls in your house because it's the 'wrong engine')
 A btw, it looks more realistic, less game-y. But as Lun says, it makes little difference. Either would look good if I hadn't seen the other.
 
		 They Look The Same To Me! :P #5091 posted by RickyT33  on 2008/09/11 10:09:50The level looks quite cools though.  I like the organic element to it - like it's genuinely a bit fucked up because its a bit old n' stuff.  Nice work!
Also: - you must have a massive monitor....

 I have no idea who pissed in your cornflakes, but it wasn't me, alright?
 
 There is no project, there is no texture budget. It's just me and hammer, so take a deep breath and suck my cock.
 
		 Wrath #5093 posted by RickyT33  on 2008/09/11 13:43:51Lun loves you really.  Everyone pissed in his cornflakes.  
		 Uh Yeah I liked B better, looks warmer and more natural.  
		 I Think He's More Offended By Post Processing #5095 posted by RickyT33  on 2008/09/11 14:42:15than he is by Wrath's shot.  I guess I can see his point - it's the same theory with minlight.  Less colour-diversity I would imagine.
 Still; popcorn at the ready!!  Sunglasses. Bad Afro haircut.  No, wait, thats an Alien Ant-Farm music video.....

		#5098 posted by ijed  on 2008/09/11 15:17:53B has better contrast but oversaturated colour.  
		
		#5099 posted by -  on 2008/09/11 17:39:32wrath, they're exactly the same. I can see they're different, but no one in the world will ever know or care when it's in motion. 
 And if the lighting was a bit nicer with some better contrast and mixture of cool and warm colors, that version would look infinitely better anyway.
