Hi,Can i use the shader effect only for the character?e.g. when is dark outside, change the lightness of the character.Thanks

hmm not sure it could be done exactly as you have it in that game but you could check add the head as a scene object & use a bit of math to position & scale it. Since VS 4.1 you can now rotate & scale objects & I already wrote a script that can get the angle between 2 points which you could use to control the rotation. You would need 2 objects for the face facing one way & another for the other direction, or 1 object & 2 animations.I believe it is possible to a degree. By the way, your game looks pretty whacky.Question: will the character scale up & down or will the scale be fixed? The reason I'm asking is because if the character scales then it will require additional math to determine the position the head should be. Also quick note: positioning of animations, objects & images is done with the top-left pixel in Visionaire Studio but character position is based on the animation/character center you add to each of the character animations.P.S: I noted the headlamp was a petzl. mine is a bit worse for wear. feckin' rubber button came off & now it's hard to turn on/off.P.P.S: just finished the demo. Was pretty funny in a morbid sort of way. Graphics were very strange & surreal. By the way you can now achieve various lighting effects with Visionaire Studio 4.1 such as spotlights & flashlight, saturation & much more since Simon added openGL 2.0 shader support.http://wiki.visionaire-tracker.net/wiki/AlignChar_(CMS) & http://wiki.visionaire-tracker.net/wiki/AlignObj_(CMS) - alignment scripts I was talking about.

OK - New problems. :DThe 'white out' is fixed, and I already have the systems in place to reapply the shader effects....BUT! None of the shaders are animated. They apply, but don't have any sort of motion/update. For example, if I apply the lighting it just makes the screen black, or when I apply the ripple effect it warps the screen just once, with the normal games motion happening 'underneath' the effect.shaderAddEffect("tv1") just makes the screen grey scale (no noise or static) etc.

Lee is right, the best way of doing it is to make a separate scene. At least when the closeup shot is seen in fullscreen. Otherwise I would just blend it in.Wouldn't the shader zoom pixelate the image?

If I disable all the shaders and call of them from a saved game it causes the screen to be completely whited out.I've bound a key to turn them on and off, and if I call the script to turn them on from a game that's been saved with the shaders it whites the screen out.I think its something to do with running the shader script as a definition script from the get go - but trying to run it as an execution script and then calling the shaders afterwards doesn't seem to work at all?
