Colorful FX | Post-Processing Effects and Photoshop-like Color Correction Tools

Yippee dual LUT curve saving! & Amount sliders!!! Colorful & Chromatica Studio rock!! must haves.

 

Hi there.
I recently purchased Colorful for the Fast Vignette functionality... However, it doesn't seem to work at all on Android.

It works fine on my desktop... and the Vintage filter certainly works on Android... but no joy with either Fast Vignette or Contrast Vignette on my Nexus 4.

Has anyone else got Fast Vignette to work on Android? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a special set-up I need to do?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ah... I think I may have solved it... If you don't install Colorful to the root directory of your project, the vignettes stop working on Android. It looks like the Vignette shaders don't compile properly if the assets are in a funky location.

Fast Vignette and the Vintage effect are making my game look super sweet...with minimal impact to framerate on my Nexus 4.

Wow!

 

Shader error in 'Hidden/CC_AnalogTV': illegal use of reserved word `filter' syntax error, unexpected ERROR_TOK, expecting ',' or ';' at line 49

this error make the screen pink. hope you guys fix it earlier. it is urgent. some user has reply to us.

 

Thank you for bringing gifts to us. You are a benevolent god indeed U_U

 

Many Thanks for the 3.0 update.

 

YES ! BUMP FOR THIS !

 

Any idea what would cause this:

Awesome asset! Is there any way to assign these effects ( particularly CC_Negative) to a specific sprite ? ( i.e. only applied to it and not to the whole camera)

 

Okay, awesome asset nevertheless. Thanks for putting this much effort into this.

 

Just picked this up on sale, and it looks like good stuff.
I'm having an issue when I create a build with any of the image effects in it. If I build and run, and resize the player any time after the game launches, I get a large black bar at the bottom of the screen. This seems to happen with any of the image effects that I try. If I leave the window size alone once the game launches, everything is fine.




I'm using Unity 5.0.1, on Windows 8.1.

I have one other question, and I haven't really looked into this yet, but would it be possible to make the Glitch effect more sporadic? In other words, I'd like to have the glitch effect sort of flash at randomized intervals. I suppose I could just activate/deactivate the effect periodically, but is there a way to get more control over it via script?

 

So this is sort of like Photoshop for Unity?

 

I'm in a pre-existing project, although there's not much to it.
I'll try it in a new project as well.

Edit: It's weird... the issue wasn't there in a new project, after some testing I found that it had something to do with my specific scene - I started messing with lighting and it stopped. It had something to do with a directional light, but now I can't reproduce the issue. It definitely only happened when I had an image effect on one of my cameras though.

 

That's awesome, thanks.
Let me know when the update is live.

 

Is 4.5 an absolute requirement or can this work on 4.3 Pro?

 

I have a trouble with Windows Phone 8.1 and CC_Fast Vignette. When I launch my game on the device whole display is black and all the graphics is gone. This works perfectly on Android or in Unity Editor itself.

Do you fully support Windows Phone platform?
There is no info at Assets Store - it just says: "Works on desktop as well as mobile platforms (DirectX 9, DirectX 11, OpenGL, OpenGL ES 2.0) for both 2D and 3D games."

 

Thanks. I might just give this a try.

 

Just got this and so far it works great. I specifically got it for the pixelate effect, but will eventually use it for other things. I'm doing a retro style game and it really helped. I don't notice any performance degradation either and I have the effect on 3 camera layers. Great work!

 

i just purchased this and is using it for my game. upon adding vintage and photo filter to the camera, the camera render call averages 20-30% usage!!

when i disable it, it averages under 10%

am i doing something wrong??

i am using unity 5.01

 

Regarding the problem with Windows Phone... Thank you for your immediate reply but I'm afraid I am unable to provide additional info cause there is no any kind of error (including console content which is completely empty). It looks like everything is ok BUT there is no image, a black abyss only . When I disable the script with effect the game works perfectly.
I've tried to use any of Colorful fx/filter - unfortunately, the results are the same. Am I missing something? Any help from anyone who runs Colorful filters successfully on Windows Platform will be appreciated .

 

If you mean standard unity built-in effects than the answer is yes, they work.

The good news is that switching the target platform from Windows Phone to Windows Store (with Windows Phone selected) resolves all issues so all Colorful effects start to work.

The bad news I have no idea why this helped.

 

I just picked this up! It seems pretty great!

A few questions:

The Halftone effect doesn't compensate for the aspect ratio of the camera. I like this effect quite a bit, but it looks incorrect on anything but square cameras, unfortunately.
Is it possible to adjust width scale, automatically (like LE) or otherwise?

I find it pretty odd that Pixelate's resolution independent option uses the camera frame width, rather than the height. This clashes with a number of things, because the width of the computer monitor can vary on different machines. Is it possible to set size based on height, rather than width?

 

Stupid question, but does this asset work on runtime?

 

Sorry if this has been asked before or even described in the docs but are these effects applied to the camera or the final image presented to the player? I'm wondering if, for example, you have a texture rendered to a screen on a monitor prefab and you could apply the scanline or glitch shader to the camera generating the texture? (Using Unity 5 free) Or appled to a UI camera to make the UI appear like it's projected.

Thanks.

 

Hi everyone!

This could be a strange question, does anyone know if these components are compatible with PS4?

Thanks in advance.

 

Any idea when this will be available? It's no priority for me, I just want to know if I should script it myself.

 

Thanks. I assume it just went live? I checked earlier and it was on 3.0.1.

 

Cool, the glitch effect change was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.

 

Hi @Chman,

I wondered if there would be an easy way to know if the glitch effect is actually running?
I'd like to associate some sound effect to it whenver it is actually active.

Maybe you could add a simple property to the script or even better an "onRandomGlitchActivated" UnityEvent<float> derived instance which I could add a listener to and the float would be the length of the current effect in seconds?

Thanks
