One of the things on my to do list is to add several LUT files to Totan, since the day night slider has not much (or the desired) effect on Totan. This is due to the heavy use of prerendered textures. You all could help me by creating your favorite LUT. For those of you who do not know what a LUT does, this is the short version:

After everything is rendered in VPX, the LUT file is used to transform the rendered color of every pixel into a another color, depending on a look-up table (which is the LUT file). If the look-up table is neutral, every color will be transformed from one RGB value to the exact same RGB value. In the default table of VPX there is such a file called "ColorGradeLUT256x16_1to1.png". If extra contrast is applied on this LUT file (for instance in photoshop), and the resulting file is used in VPX, then the output on the screen of VPX will also have more contrast.

So, how is here you can help me:

 

1. Download these three images:

 

 

 

(last one is the same as the file in the VPX default table)

 

2. Open the cabinet and/or the desktop screenshot file in your favorite photo editing program (like photoshop or GIMP). Experiment with changing brightness, contrast, saturation and so on on these images, until it looks like you want it on either your desktop screen and/or your cabinet. In photoshop you can do this by adding layers with effects on top of the image. It is important to know which changes you have done. Also be aware that what looks good during the day, can look strange in the evening/night.

 

3. When you are happy with these changes on the screenshots, apply the exact same changes on the LUT file (the png one). So if you have added a layer which increases the contrast on the screenshot, apply the exact same contrast change on the png file. Save this png file to a new name and post the new png in this thread with the following information:

- desktop or cabinet

- brand and type of screen (like samsung and its type number, diameter)

- for daytime or nighttime

- a short summary what type of changes you applied on the LUT

 

Depending on how many of you create new LUT's, I will include some or all of them in the final release.

I am definitely doing this. Will try this afternoon (Spain time)

Super interesting, Flupper, didn't know that technique, yet.

 

Will definitely try tonight. I'll compare yours and my result by setting the images left half/right half as desktop wallpaper, so I can compare them in the cab directly.

I have a question, is this LUT sensitive to "hue" adjustment layer in Photoshop? If so, overall color can be affected. I mean, I love the current color scheme, but it would be crazy if you can change the color scheme of every table so easily.

Yes, I think so. Just try it on any table...

A 3D backdrop, incredible !!!!

 

I'm gonna be out of work

 

Will there be lights in the eyes of genius ?

 

And is it possible to add a lamp on the lower right side of the table ?

In the genie in the table, yes, there are lights. Not in the backdrop, is that what you are asking?

Why would you want a lamp in the table on the lower right side?

[mlager8]

Here's a quick one I tried at work with my color calibrated monitor. Didn't see it in my cab but gave it a shot anyway. I wanted to do a cave of wonders style LUT so i pushed the contrast and orange/purple's around with mostly curves.

On the left or original, middle is the color move, and right is a way toned down night mode version so you dont burn your retinas out.

 

 

 

Here the regular LUT:

 

 

and the night mode LUT:

[batch]

I just thought it would be fun to have lights in the eyes of the genius on the backdrop

 

And there's a little place for a 3D lamp on the right

 

But it's just something I'd like to see as a desktop user

 

Anyway, everybody will look at every detail of your fantastic table when playing it, so, forget it !

Anybody has tested the table on VPX VR? Lighting opinion?

Thanks a lot.

[Mandolin]

Ok here is mine, I call it Full Night mode

 

 

It may look agressive, but you must imagine it in the cabinet. The key is that blacks are not full blacks but dark grays, that way is closer to reality. Basically changed in a "levels" adjustmen layer, with another layer of "vibrance".

 

Tried in a LG, 43 inches 1080p, I will update with the model.

reshade can be an interesting alternative and works very well with vpx

 

 

for those who like to manipulate the special effects.

here is the list :

all configurable and stackable

 

default value (exept 1 layer) 

 the combinations are infinite.

Totan 1.3.0 vpx

 

and little tutorial for luts applicable to reshade :

Cool results from others so far. So here are mine:

 

My aim was to make it look as real in a very dark ambience (mine)

 

Specs:

- Cabinet

- Samsung TV 43'

- nighttime (definitely)

 

What I did:

 

- added a layer above of half of Flupper's image

- filled it black

- Set Layer Style "Soft Light"

- played around with "Opacity"

- made it a desktop wallpaper

- came to the conclusion, that in my cab 80% are perfect.

Here is the update, a video of some gameplay and the flashershow at the end:

https://youtu.be/yVO2KY-CF2g

 

All flashers are now working. Rothbauerw did a lot of work on scripting, sounds and physics tweaks. My to do list is shrinking but still substantial, before somebody asks: I don't do ETA's.

 

AMAZING!

Great eyes, Mando and Vogli! Thanks for sharing.

This is my first try for a night picture with two variants as _1 and _2. I tried the challenge and hope it is for me normally only looking to dB2S and not to overdosed skilled in the gimp usage a good result.

No not yet, I do have a htc vive since a couple weeks, but did not get around to installing it.

Small addon to the great explanation:

 

One can also optionally just copy the default LUT file into the image itself that one changes, so that one does not need to remember all steps that one did to the original image. After all changes happened, simply select/extract the LUT again and paste into a new image.
