Chameleon Post Process

[DJoExe]

Hi again SumFX, it does work. I was not pressing play in the editor. I was only moving the slider in the sequencer itself to see if the change was in real-time without having to play in the editor. I don't know if it is something you consider adding eventually though, it would be quite useful. Thanks for your time

Thanks for the update

How do I update it in my project that I'm already using it in? Do I just click 'add to project' and pick the project and it will overwrite the files? Do you lose the settings you have setup when you do this?

Kind regards

Yes, updating the assets is being just like that. You won't lose your instance settings but any blueprint/material design changes would be overwritten.

Hey SumFX, when I use Chameleon in my project and try to package the project it gives some errors that prevent the project from being packaged.

Here's the errors:

"UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogInit: Display: LogProperty: Error: UStructProperty::Serialize Loading: Property 'StructProperty /Game/Chameleon/Chameleon.Chameleon_C:Set Advanced Effect Features (No Custom Depth).Features'. Unknown structure.
UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogInit: Display: LogProperty: Error: UStructProperty::Serialize Loading: Property 'StructProperty /Game/Chameleon/Chameleon.Chameleon_C:Custom Depth Highlighter - Advanced'. Unknown structure.

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogInit: Display: LogProperty: Error: UStructProperty::Serialize Loading: Property 'StructProperty /Game/Chameleon/Chameleon.Chameleon_C:Actor Featurette - Advanced'. Unknown structure."

I'm using 4.19 and added Chameleon to my project directly from the Epic launcher. Didn't migrate from an older project. And the project itself was created in 4.19. Didn't migrate from an older version.

Can you help please?

Hi,

This is the first time I see this type of error in this package. Can you please try to open and re-save these structures in question? And let me know about the result, please.

That did the trick. Thanks!

Hey, I was wondering how you would add a depth mask to effects such as Kuwahara? I enabled custom depth but I am not sure how to use it? Or even a way to use something like the distance fog effect you have as a mask for the other effects. I just want a simple depth gradient from the camera position, like in the attached image. Thanks

Hi,

The latest version of the Chameleon comes with depth masking option for all effects. However, you need to use the latest engine version (4.19) and the latest version (9.0) of the Chameleon to use this feature.

Thanks, I thought I read about depth masking. How do I check what version of Chameleon I am using?

If you have the "Haunted" effect in the list, then you have the latest version.

Thanks, the depth works great now- such an awesome feature!

I noticed the Kuwahara looks much worse in 4.18 and 4.19 (added the latest version) than in 4.17 (added the latest version to the scene today). High contrast/Alpha edging gets picked up with a thick black line much more, but randomly, not evenly throughout the scene. To me the 4.17 version looks much more painterly and much nicer. Is this a bug with the 4.18 and 4.19 version? Is there a way to remove the black lines of the alphas?

Both instances I deleted Chameleon from the scene and re-added to make sure no other effects were on.

Thanks

4.18 and 4.19


4.17

Looks great, when the new version will be out? with 4.20 ?

Hi benmerrick3d,

This is unexpected for sure. I'll take a look in detail to this and will let you know about it.

Thanks Baris. It's hard to say right now. My first approach is "when it is ready" though : )
