razzy1319 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Ive seen a lot of good visual effects that adds to the look of the Mojave Wasteland. But they dont really add to the Desert part of it! Looking at films that take place in the desert, I found that thing that is missing. Mirage! People have added DOF, Motion Blur, Color Correction and many more but is it even possible to create a Mirage Optical Illusion with the Engine?

lemonfan1 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 That'd be interesting. If it were to be made, if possible to be made, it should be an effect for people suffering from dehydration. :) I'm currently playing Very Hard, Hardcore with no VATS and no Fast Travel. This would add some interesting stuff for me. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie70 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I found that thing that is missing. Mirage! what's that...? (no native english speaker, me...)the only thing i know by the name of mirage would be the mig mirage, a french fighting plane from the seventies - but i somehow can't imagine you really miss french fighting planes in the mojave... :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your native language? I can translate this reply if you cannot understand it clearly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your native language?something rather close to german :-)we'd call that a "fata morgana". which actually isn't german, but arabian. or rather something that once was a latin version of something that even oncer was arabian, but who cares, we use it anyway... :-) What's your native language? I can translate this reply if you cannot understand it clearly. :)i should have said my native tongue was kisuaheli, just to see what happens :-))anyway, thanks, but man, is my english really THAT bad...? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDragyn Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Well more specifically, a mirage is when the hot air rising off a surface gets a metallic/reflective appearance and looks like water in the distance.

billyro Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 That is technical. I always just assumed that a mirage was the effect of dehydration and fiddles with your brain to make you see stuff you want. If this is the sort of mirage you want, razzy1319, then I think it would be impossible to make, unless you have randomly occuring screen overlays.If you want as what Shadow_Dragyn said, then it could be done with shaders. Have a gander at the Enhanced Shaders mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a gander at the Enhanced Shaders mod. Yup, Shadow_Dragyn got it! Although not just the water illusion but also the optical/distortion effect when there is hot air between you and what youre looking at! I'll take a look at enhanced shaders, but I think I already have that mod and have yet to see a mirage! Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
