How To __________ in Prerelease.

Another glow hint - I found this one yesterday in the forum somewhere and found it to be extremely good:

When you use the TV3D-Glow, things can get too bright very quickly. So, before actually drawing the glow to the screen, use TV3D's 2Dimmediate.DrawFilledBox to draw a BLACK transparent box on the whole screen. The color should be something like this: r=0,g=0,b=0,a=0.5. THEN you draw the glow to the screen.

I used it in my current test project and it just ROCKS.

Btw: The smaller the rendersurface, the bigger the glow halo. 64,64 is still a viable choice, though you will see the rough-resolution-effect a little. Looks exactly like the glow of Tron2.0, that one also had this pixel-jumpiness in the background.

Or you can just set the glow parameters to your likings.

That is not the same. If you do as I described, you can use glow with a strength of 1 (first parameter) without the bright colors washing out.

If you just reduce the glow power so that the colors do not wash out, the glow is significantly weaker.

I would like to know how I can create a bloom effect and how to manage it
if it's possible in TV3D 6.5
I post some pic examples to ilustrate what I'm talking about
Thanks. (If someone can help me out)

Set RenderSurf1 = Scene.CreateRenderSurface(256, 256, True, -1)
Set RenderSurf2 = Scene.CreateRenderSurface(256, 256, True, -1)

The enumeration dont have a value for -1

Code:

   
public enum CONST_TV_RENDERSURFACEFORMAT
{
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_DEFAULT = 0,
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_A8R8G8B8 = 21,
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_X8R8G8B8 = 22,
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_R5G6B5 = 23,
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_A4R4G4B4 = 26,
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_HDR_FLOAT16 = 113,
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_HDR_FLOAT32 = 116,
        TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_NONE = 999,
}

I used TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_DEFAULT, but the result is it:

You may want to use TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_A8R8G8B8, TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_HDR_FLOAT16 or TV_TEXTUREFORMAT_HDR_FLOAT32
