[187] Modding: billboards lose color/brightness depending on camera exposure
Outdated
This video should explain what I'm talking about, look at the red box under that text (the text is using SDR/LDR blend, not relevant to this issue):
Not the actual code used in the video but can be used for replicating, call in Draw() in a session component:
MyTransparentGeometry.AddPointBillboard(MyStringId.GetOrCompute("Square"), new Vector4(1, 0.5f, 0f, 1f), Vector3D.Zero, 10, 0); This happens with all BlendTypeEnum that are not SDR/LDR.
Billboards are supposed to be emissive, why are they being affected by world light, they're not realistic objects to begin with.
While we can use Vector4 color and multiply it to get a brighter billboard, its color will be inconsistent, for example:
MyTransparentGeometry.AddPointBillboard(MyStringId.GetOrCompute("Square"), new Vector4(1, 0.5f, 0f, 1f) * 10f, Vector3D.Zero, 10, 0);Is yellow when camera is over exposed and orange when it's under exposed, as seen in the attached images. *Also*, Vector4 color isn't always available, like MySimpleObjectDraw.DrawTransparentBox() uses Color and that can't be brighter than standard dynamic range.
I have the same bug
