I've seen a few people using it, but a Google search has revealed nothing, nor has a forum search.

Does anybody know where or how I can find GIMP_HDRBloom shader?

Found the link at the http://mgeshaderlibrary.wikispaces.com/Shaders

Thank you!

Use this one, which is compatible with the latest MGE.

And with a bonus speed boost from the house.

Oops, I didn't know there was a newer version :shocking:

Finally, a HDR shader that i kindof like. It's still like walking around with a thousand nuclear bombs exploding over the horizon.

Why are they always so bright?

The GIMP Shader has always been one of my favourites.

Not exactly a new version, just edited to be compatible with new MGE. And I discovered an extra line of code and disabled it, giving a performance boost reportedly.


I use it without bloom. Editing is easy:

/ **BLOOM VARIABLES** //const static float scale = 6.5f;const static float scale = 1.0f;//Scale of bloom stretch across the screen//decrease for smaller bloom that is more accurate//increase for larger bloom that is less accurate//const static float BloomBoost = 1.0f;const static float BloomBoost = 0.2f;//boost in bloom brightness, increase for brighter bloom

Lowering them too much causing problems but those numbers almost completely disable bloom.

Edit:

const static float scale = 0.2f;

DO NOT lower this below 1 as I did. Or it will produce visual artifacts.

If you have problems with it being to bright then you may want to try ZHDR which works really well for me.
