Remember the glowing eyes in Blade Runner? Maybe we're all replicants. Maybe that's why we can't land on terraformed worlds. We're banned!

That's also why we are only allowed to walk around in one concourse on the entire station.

Being a Commander is contagious. NPCs are getting vaccinated before they're allowed to enter the Concourse.

SakashiroMy eyes glow in the dark, too.

R_xxla or bug?

I want the option of eye glow color. I would choose as in Dune - blue

Deciat and ShinDez are now low threat zones in Inara's security report. That tells you something about the state of the game.

1.5 hrs of flying, 2 hrs of goddamned camera positioning and lighting tweaks, 0.5 hrs of postprocessing. this renderer is a complete mess.

Nice!

But why so much postprocessing?

SakashiroBut why so much postprocessing?

Ah, I just liked to put these filters here and there after realised that hi-res screenshots could be put into Adobe Lightroom (and after reinstalling it). It's a matter of taste, actually. But, as I think, my 'Distant' and 'Bar' photos (for example) would be too... dull without them.

I used to import most of my pics into Blender for color correction, but haven't done that for a while. Now all I do is crop and scale in GIMP, if necessary.

Remembered a bit of my actual photography and editing experience, that's all. Yeah, sometimes it may be 'too much', but... I see them that way. And it can compensate some flaws of the renderer to some extent, as I think.

One method I found to get around the new renderer's crappy lighting is to walk around in camera mode facing the avatar. This way you find the good spots faster. I usually look for places where the shadows are not too harsh and there's some degree of glossy reflection on eyes, skin, lips, hair, and clothing. These spots are surprisingly rare.

And to get rid of the open mouth, I set zoom to 4x and then move the camera back until the LOD switches to the next level.
