Working on a new Selective Color effect. I hope it can catch the Chameleon 7 train : )

[EFFECT REQUEST] Time Stutter Effect
Hi /Chameleon Team. Iām posting my Effect Request for Chameleon: Time Stutter Effect (inspired by Quantum Break). There appears to be several post process used to pull off the effect, but the core VFX appears to operate likes a collage of Prisms creating a multiple shards of Refraction over the scene.
Remedyās Publication on the Anatomy of a Stutter sheds more light on the Artistic inspiration for the effect. Iām certain this effect will be a awesome addition to the ultimate Post Process Material Library: Chameleon.
Thank you for your consideration.

Memoriesā¦ I was amazed when i first saw this effect in their gameplay trailer. Iāll look and see what can i achieve but i think the first stop is that knowing what engine they use. Iāve imagined a lot of effects but failed because of the limitations of the material editor. As you may know Chameleon is blueprint only solution and we are not allowed to create ānew shadersā by blueprints but only adding functions to them. For example; I CANāT write geometry shader which would be super cool if i can. Anyway, thanks for the PDF. Iāll look into it.

Iām thankful Chameleon is a Blueprints solution as I exclusively script with Blueprints. Remedyās Time Stutter Effect appears to utilize multiple post-processes and materials. I figured, I could stack Chameleon Effects to achieve a majority of the post processing.
I did suspect geometry shaders are at work, and initiated investigation into distortion effects and the custom material node as the one described in Epics Training Video. However, I do not know the limitations of this system and Iām no Material, HLSL, Math Guru like You. I can visualize something interesting with metaballs for Prismsā¦
Perhaps this inquiry will spawn a new Product Line: The Chameleon Shaders Library. 
I sincerely appreciate you taking time to look into it.

Looks crazy, so you mean we can literally paint every mesh in the scene with a different color?
Thanks for the stream link. I think i didnāt watched that one which is a shame because Wizard RyanB there : )
I did watched several more videos of the Quantum Breakās stutter effect and iām pretty sure now about the workflow. This effect can be created in Unreal for sure but itās not a Post Process only solution. It contains a world space materials, particle systems, static meshes (as we talk in Unreal) and finally post processingi so it would be a multistack workflow. Actually i bought the game today and its downloading right now : ) So Chameleon updates have been paused for a whileā¦ Just kidding 
So in short; this effect is out of Chameleonās scope but still want to try some techniques to create a similar effect in Unreal (because itās look so cool). If i success, it still canāt be shipped with the Chameleon since it wouldnāt be a post process only solution like Chameleon.
Thanks!
Hi Baris;
Actually no; this effects allows you to show only one color inā¦color : ) Letās call it Sin City effect. As you may remember the whole movie was in greyscale except for the red color.
But;
With Chameleon 7, you will be able to paint multiple meshes with different colors and even able to apply them different effects with the help of the new stencil masking feature! (maximum 255 of them)
Hi . I should have thought of that, I would have gifted you that Game to make this a reality. (In fact, its not too late. I can reimburse the expense via Paypal). I want this Effect(s), and Iām the first in line to purchase. Please advise how it can be distributed ie Gumroad, TheGameDevStore.com, or other.
Sincere Regards

You gave me the most precious thing; the idea! ; )
Best.
Trying to make some improvements on Screen Drops effect.

**DEPRECATION ALERT
**Floating, **Wobbly **and Mask Blur effects will be deprecated with Chameleon 7. You will have blueprint access to their functions until Chameleon 8 and with Chameleon 8, **they will be removed ****from the package **completely.
Why?
Talking for Floating and Wobbly effects; they couldnāt match the quality of the Chameleon since their first release and thereās nothing to do for improving them. And for Mask Blur effect; starting with Chameleon 7 all effects can be texture masked and you can use simple Blur filter with masking option to achieve same view.
This is awesome! Nice work
I am looking for an effect of the world in greyscale but particles are in colour, is this possible in Chameleon?
This effect will be in package soon but as taking your question in general; you can apply ANY OF THE EFFECTS of the Chameleon to the specific objects in the world by Custom Depth (and single stencil with Chameleon 7) option. For demo purpose iāve applied a Blur effect only to the Particle in a scene below.

Chameleon 7.0 is here. Itās time to hit that update button!
where is digitize? is it not in the 4.15 version?
Iām developing and packaging all updates with the latest version of the engine available in that time, so Chameleon 7.0 is 4.16 and above only.
Hey,
I have opened up the realistic character scene in 4.16.1 and added Chameleon to it. The performance doesnāt drop when you add it into the scene without any effects turned on now, so thatās good, well done.
Unfortunately many of the features seem to be broken. Most of the Colour Grading tab doesnāt work, apart from Tint, cant control the Ambient Occlusion- when you turn the intensity off and view the AO in lighting settings its still there, if you change the other settings for it it still looks the same. Iāve tried a quick go with some of the more advanced affects (snow, rain, comic, glitch, etc) and they seem to work.
Would you be able to test it and fix up the broken features?
Also a couple of requests:
Would we be able to have the drop down tabs ordered alphabetically please? It would make it MUCH easier to find things.
In the Chameleon Settings would we be able to have a priority and blend distance (for when we use it bound)? This would make it easier to use multiple ones and to work with standard post process volumes.
Thanks
