Re: Project Aftershock
Wow, that looks much better, especially on the vegetation. But on buildings etc. it is hardly noticeable. Still, it adds a great degree of realism.

Re: Project Aftershock
Thanks Ruud, most of the static objects such as buildings already have their own baked AO maps. Which is still useful for gamers who wish to disable SSAO and is still able to play the game with decent quality. Baked AO is still useful for far distance shots though.

Re: Project Aftershock
Updated powerup icons
Decided to go for simpler icon looks for the powerups which players can pick up along the tracks as the older powerups were harder to identify from afar.
Here's a sample rocket pack powerup.

Re: Project Aftershock
Looks great, but it could be even better. You could improve the electric effect by not making the entire thing flicker at once, but subparts. The effect looks really cool, but I've been playing with high voltage sparks lately, and that's not what it looks like in real life.

Re: Project Aftershock
This game is still looking great! I do wonder if it is ever going to be finished, because this has been the best-looking Ogre project in development for a long while now. What are your plans with it in terms of when it will be done?
Anyway, as for the SSAO: it looks great! Really adds to the images! I do wonder why you chose to go with SSAO instead of pre-baked static lightmaps, though? In all the footage I have seen so far of Aftershock, the scene itself is entirely static, and the vehicles don't morph either. SSAO uses a lot of performance and usually adds some visual noise when moving, while it does not do bouncy light. So I am curious as to your reasons for chosing this specific technique over pre-baked lightmaps?

Re: Project Aftershock
@Ruud V A: Yeah we noticed that too that for electric effects they tend to flicker in much smaller parts even to the individual electric arcs. Still looking for a way to fix it though. But thanks for the feedback
@Oogst: Thanks for the comments. We are not exactly sure as to when it'll be done as we're juggling between Aftershock and other outsourced projects to support ourselves which usually involves content creation and adding features to other 3rd party engines for other indies. But we're available for work now too !
For the SSAO: we do have pre baked static ambient occlusion maps which are visible on the buildings as we've noticed that SSAO tend to look a lil weird when you're trying to make it look good between large objects (buildings..etc...) and smaller stuff (eg.grass) unless we do it Crysis way which renders 2 settings for SSAO, one for smaller objects and one for larger objects which is expensive. So in general , we choose this method for nearby dynamic objects to look good with SSAO while further environment objects will not have any SSAO artifacts by using baked AO maps. The scene is static now because we have yet to include other dynamic effects yet. But in the future we are planning to simulate screen space global illumination.

Re: Project Aftershock
I like it. The animation is pretty good even though it is simple. One nitpick, what does it look like if you slightly faded out the electricity planes as they intersect with the inner sphere? The sharp cutoff highlights the planes and having a quick fadeout might hide that.

Re: Project Aftershock
Well after a long hiatus working on other side projects to support ourselves and what not, I've decided to update the holograms on the buildings to have more depth as well as added some chromatic abberation like effect to them where the previous holograms looked pretty flat.

Re: Project Aftershock
Hi guys we’ve just recently implemented FXAA 3 based off Timothy Lottes FXAA implementation. This latest anti aliasing technique is important especially for console games since most console games are still played with a lower resolution eg. 1280×720 and stretched up full screen where jaggies will look even more apparent especially with the larger home flat screen tvs, 60″ .
Other games tested with FXAA: http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/fxaa-technology-demo

Thanks Jacmoe. It's been slow and we're still working on it
Heres another update with depth of field. With future plans to include Bokeh DOF effect.
