AC cameras and image proccessing effects

SoundGuy

Hey,

i don't remember if i asked about this.but i am findign myself in this situation again

I have a camera which i want to apply two image effects on, color correction and vignette.

to copmlicate it a little bit more - i also want to animate the vignette parameters.

when i add a componenet to a AC camera, and switch to it, nothing happens (i assume because these components aren't in the main AC camera.)

what's the best approach to do both these things. do i just add the vignette with a "0" parameter to the main camera as well? how do i get things to change and animate?

i was thinking about turning on an animator (that i actually already have from the previous iteration of the game) but i though it would be more organized to do things through AC..

is this something that's supported right now?

Since your game is 2D, you can use the DOF variable to store the intensity per-camera.  A script attached to the MainCamera can then read this value and display an effect accordingly - see the manual's list of static functions to get the line of code needed.

this is also something taht might be useful for 3D game

the vingette componenet has multiple values. I'll look at the manual to see if i can someone add this animation on the camera and start it with a manual script

if i do that, i'll be happy to send you the script maybe you can integrate it back into the engine as it may be useful for other folks.

I'm slightly confused. I already have tons of post-image effects in my game, all of them are just added to the main camera but they work perfectly. What's the need to use the other camera?

@david different cameras have different values for post-imgae effects. Different depth of field for example  in close ups i want a more shallow depth of field.

in one of my curscenes, the main character goes through a revelation and the artist made this effect that changes the vingette parameters. 

this is applied to one of the closeups but it shouldn't affect the scene camera.

Thanks, now I understand. Sorry, my game is a first person game with no camera switches, so I completely forgot about that possibility for a moment
