chimera_block_zoom_blur issue #100

Open Keith94 opened 1 year ago

Keith94 commented 1 year ago

chimera_block_zoom_blur is known to break the scanline visual effects in the 343 Guilty Spark cutscene.

Quoted from pcgamingwiki. Does this still happen in newer builds of Chimera?

PseudoProxen commented 1 year ago

Pretty sure this is still present, but could be easily fixed to see if a cutscene is running and disabled briefly.

The reason the setting exists in the first place is due to the effect's lack of upscaling and/or texture filtering and to give players control over the cosmetic effect.

Because it's a blur effect, one could get away with simply upscaling the effect's low-res result and apply a cheap scaling filter to make it look like it was rendered at a higher resolution than it actually was. This technique is rather common in post-processing effects nowadays.
