Tilt-shift minecraft shader (video)
- twelvechairs 14y agoThis is nice and all, but does anyone really want an ingame experience where only a tiny portion of the centre of the screen is in focus? The nicer parts of shading are from the mods that he is using (in modified form), http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/120261-125-glsl-shaders-dof-bump-mapping-waving-wheat-dynamic-shadows-and-more/ http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/120261-125-glsl-shaders-... and http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/940974-125sonic-ethers-unbelievable-shaders-glsl-shaders-dynamic-shadows-more/ http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/940974-125sonic-ethers-u...
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIt's for recording videos I'd expect. Although nobody wants to watch a video like that either.
- jws 14y agoWhat if it boosted your frame rate and saved your battery?[1] The blurry areas could be rendered at lower resolution then blurred to the final screen. I read an article where a 2D side scroller used this technique to good effect on its frame rates. 3D would require a serious mathematician to make the various edges match well enough to not be offensive. EOM [1] A Macbook Air that happily runs 6 hours on battery will run about 90 minutes playing minecraft.
- lifeformed 14y agoThis looks far more computationally expensive than without shaders. That side scroller benefited because it could just draw the background/foreground sprites at a lower resolution before blurring. You wouldn't be able to get that luxury easily with a 3D game.
- jws 14y agoI can't speak for all games, but I find my fragment shaders dominate. That is compute power related directly to the number of pixels rather than polygons. If I can render objects in the distance at 1/3 the spatial resolution, that is 1/9th the fragment shading, times a much reduced texture bandwidth since I'll be using a lower resolution mipmap. I'll still have to composite it back in to the full resolution frame, but if that operation is faster than my fragment computations it would win.
- jfoutz 14y agoI think a pretty great sandbox game could be made out of this effect alone.
- aiscott 14y agoVery nice! I doubt my old MacBook pro can tolerate much more in minecraft, sad to say.
- kristianp 14y agoIs it just me, or does the video jerk every second? This one does the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQbUyO9goxM&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQbUyO9goxM&feature=relmf...
