i'm glad you made this suggestion because i was about to do it myself. and wanted to be sure it hadn't been proposed already. I quickly noticed the absence of this effect for shiny material when doing my first experiments with PBR some weeks ago. and it feels like a little regression compared to the standard rendering vs pbr, considering it had a pretty basic yet enjoyable implementation of this effect. Having those gorgeous looking metallic or glass surfaces now, the lack of this feature is specially noticeable in pbr viewers.. I would add that the chromatic effet might be a bit too much, i'm not a fan of it personally, but a subtle gloom effect would be much appreciated indeed.
How would you like the feature to work?
While PBR is a huge upgrade, I do believe the added benefits of postprocessing effects like glare are a massive game changer. I have direct side by side comparisons to show proof how big of a change it makes just having some glare.
In my use case, as a jewelry creator, you can directly see the effect. However glare isn't just for jewelry of course, it would happen off the reflection of a car, or a shiny stool, etc. I could make a list of things because the truth is that it would actually affect an entire scene.
Maybe we're currently in a situation where we're getting PBR situated first before an idea like this but I figured I'd throw it out there and get it in the air.
(Apologies for the watermarks in the center, it must be done)
Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?
As a game designer, its features like these that motivate me and many others to create, and it's their absence that frustrates us since their existence is not uncommon within the space and feel like they are at a fingertips reach away.
As for users that don't create, it's highly likely that they take photos or just enjoy having the best graphics in their hands. Which is why lots of users have chosen 3rd party viewers with more graphical options. Let's say they don't use a 3rd party viewer, they still probably edit their photos and try to mimic post processing effects.
Being able to create beautiful things easily is infectious. Having more people interested in creating things is extremely important for the growth of Second Life. The more beautiful the world gets, the more people want to stay and view more. The PBR update is a huge step in the right direction, and I think Linden Labs could take it this one step further to solidify the worlds beauty even more.
An update like this would receive overwhelming support.
Thanks, ATD
