Effect HUD Gas Mask

Hello everyone. I’m making a post apocalyptic style game, I would like my character in the first character to wear a gas mask, do you know of any tutorial, video, any way to make the HUD look like it’s wearing a mask overlay? I would greatly appreciate your help

Hey there @tano_2885! So you’ve got multiple ways to pull that off. The simplest way, you could just attach and remove a widget with the image of the gasmask vignette, maybe even have it’s transparency fade in and out a bit.

However if you wanted to get fancy with scratches, water, refractions, etc. you’ll need to look into post process materials. Included some resources for both!
