Question Titan Quest Cave loading effect

"Hi everyone,

Could you please explain to me how this works? I'm referring to the effect of loading a cave in Titan Quest. Do you happen to know a solution or any tutorial that explains how to change the background to black and load a specific part of the scene?"

You need to ask their developers. But looks like there's two stages in the cave transition, first stage creates a "bubble" around the player that could be a light source that's lighting up in front of the player. Looks like the second phase switches off sunlight so all thats left is the player's light source.

 

I concur. There's definitely two processes. One is the standard "see character always" type of wall ghosting, done in a circle around the player, and the other is simply fading out the outside world. It's pretty nicely done here.

If I was doing it, I would use two anchor points that you author into the scene, one at the cave mouth, one inside a little bit.

Using those two anchor points and your player's position you would use Vector3.InverseLerp() to find out a number from 0.0 to 1.0 for how far into the transition you are, and then just some kind of shader to blend between the two effects, driven by that 0-to-1 number.
