CCP Antiquarian C C P C C P Alliance 46	Posted - 2014.05.14 11:52:00 - [1] - Quote An overhaul of the way in which different star types (and the effects generated by the light of those stars) are represented has generated significant changes to the starscape of New Eden. The modifications, which have been made available to all capsuleers, filter and present different wavelengths of local solar light in entirely new ways. As such the appearance of the sun in your current system may have been drastically altered in your display. Please be aware of these changes and be on the lookout for any recommendations you might have to adjust or further advance the representation of visible solar radiation by technology used across New Eden. Comments and feedback on the new effects are welcome here!

I really like the vertical version and am glad that CCP is experimenting a little with star effects. I hope this vertical one stays - and yes they can make more of those too!!! The White Dwarf also looks awesome! It has that deep-space feel to it. Can't wait to see these in game!
Grarr Dexx Snuff Box 407	Posted - 2014.05.14 13:31:00 - [8] - Quote has anybody in New Eden's lore ever witnessed or documented a nova of some variety?
Droidyk Maniacal Miners INC No Safe Haven 61	Posted - 2014.05.14 14:08:00 - [9] - Quote I love them, only effect that seem to be missing is the occlusion of the light where it shadows the object and the light goes where there is a free space. They are overall really awesome, makes the mood and feel of the environment cool and totally different depending on the flare, I especially like the illumination of the dust on camera when turned along the light. Managed to make some awesome screens yesterday. And the vertical ones are especially great when I saw them x), please keep them and add more of them.

Bienator II madmen of the skies 2628	Posted - 2014.05.14 15:07:00 - [11] - Quote i really like the secondary lense effect when you turn the camera away from the sun. Really well done! eve style bounties (done) dust boarding parties imagine there is war and everybody cloaks - join FW
Noriko Mai 1350	Posted - 2014.05.14 15:49:00 - [12] - Quote Awesome. The stations look really really nice in the new light. Would it be possible to adjust the brightness in the preview windows too? It is very bright from one side and very dark from the other.
Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1163	Posted - 2014.05.14 16:10:00 - [13] - Quote The M0 White stars, like the one in Osis, makes a flare way too vertical. I know it gives it an unique flavor but its just too odd :D Also there is an issue with most stars. When you look at them the whole game scene partially takes the color of the star. Thats fine, but the effect should decrease faster as the star isn't in the center of your field of view anymore. As it stands now, the colored effect lasts for a too wide angle and it really negates the awesomeness of these new Lens Flare :) This effect also increases in intensity as the star is almost visible at the border of the screen... Then once its visible, the whole effect decreases. Thats very strange, too. Side question, are there any plans to make divine rays like the ones in incursion systems, be applied for all systems? I like the solar flares, but I think divine rays would be even more awesome. If the answer is yes, let me suggest that a good way for you to be able to visually render the distance from the sun would be to increase the length of the ray the closer you are from it. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking. Beware the french guy!
Oberine Noriepa 1493	Posted - 2014.05.14 16:28:00 - [14] - Quote At last, more lighting updates! I'm a big fan of the attention to detail on a lot of these. The K class (Orange) lens flare is my favorite. It has a hyperbola with branches that expand and contract as you pan the camera left-to-right. Wicked! I like the off-camera optical phenomena. They're small details that can be useful in checking your position relative to the center of the system you're in. Are there any plans to update the models for the stars themselves? What about crepuscular rays? Any plans on adding those to every system as opposed to those affected by incursions exclusively?
Droidyk Maniacal Miners INC No Safe Haven 61	Posted - 2014.05.14 16:31:00 - [15] - Quote I wouldn't change a thing about them :) adding maybe an occlusion or overshadow as it was shown in art panel would be nice. Also, the effects are caused by the camera lens, so the vertical effects are very possible, it creates kind of alien feel to it, and that is cool as there might be differently manufactured camera drones.
Aquila Sagitta Blue-Fire Pasta Syndicate 301	Posted - 2014.05.14 17:07:00 - [16] - Quote When you look directly(or very close to directly) at the star its almost like its being occluded by something. Is this deliberate? Blue-Fire Best Fire

CCP Antiquarian C C P C C P Alliance 49	Posted - 2014.05.14 17:31:00 - [17] - Quote The flare effects are different for different types of stars, so it's difficult for me to answer any specific inquiry without information about which star/lens flare is being observed. I'll try to address some more general points here: The team which worked on this feature had tremendous fun playing with the possibilities and some of the options which were left on the cutting room floor so to speak may be revisited at some point in the future. The current effects are meant to be dynamic according to the position of the sun on the screen. So at different positions you will have different levels of color or illumination of the surface of the camera drone lens. We are aware of at least one issue at the Medium Texture setting that displays regular horizontal striping. The vertical white sun is admittedly a pet favorite of certain team members, but I am willing to respond to public debate on the matter, should there be cause to do so. The occlusive crepuscular effect in Incursion systems will remain limited to those environments for now, but we are constantly looking for new ways to improve the appearance and experience for every capsuleer. I'll be sure to put a word in with the superiors about player interest in seeing similar effects elsewhere. Thanks for all the feedback, and please continue to comment.

Actually, re: occlusive crepuscular effect. If it's possible to have this affect localized to grids instead of system-wide, it'd be an excellent effect to employ in various environments such as belts, ice belts, near polluted stations if there's a push for dynamic landscapes, and so on. I'm sure you've already got this on your list, of course. ;) /states obvious. Priano Trans-Stellar: elegant solutions for the State's needs.

Hey I'm sure you can find a sweet middle-ground that makes everyone happy. ;) As a general comment, you seem all (rightfully) very enthusiastic with this awesome feature, but I'd say that an "issue" with the flare of all the stars is that they might be too dominant for a too wide camera angle in space. My opinion. :p I can easily imagine these flares being rendered in CCP HQ, and ponctually finding them cool, but I'm worried about them becoming "boring" because too dominant, on the long run. I picture myself playing Eve for countless hours and having a distinct colorset change everytime I look at a sun (flares, camera lenses, screen-wide color filter...). Suns are already quite bright -thus dominant- right now, with new effects its going to be intrusive if these new effects aren't carefully balanced. There is a good parallel with the sweeping effect of the discovery scanner that was initially very very dominant because it never ceased to sweep. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking. Beware the french guy!

Thanks for all the feedback, and please continue to comment. Hah! I just hopped onto sisi to see these optical flares for myself and they are absolutely beautiful! Please don't change a thing and if you must ADD MORE! You mention that the team working on this had several other options... please let them know we'd like to see them in game; even if there are say 3, 4 or even 5 slightly different optical flares for each star class. The vertical one is especially awesome - almost gives me a giddy sensation because i'm so used to seeing them horizontal. edit forgot to mention that the 'light-bleed'(whatever it's called) at the edges of the screen is just as magical - in fact it's almost cinematic! Also, it seems that the overall size of the suns/stars have gotten much smaller; i think this is great as is gives a greater sense of distance traveling within each system. Again, beautiful stuff! Am looking forward to seeing in TQ.

Aglais Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 502	Posted - 2014.05.15 03:51:00 - [22] - Quote Very interesting- the variation in how the lense flares are shaped makes me think that there's something going on with the polarization of the light, which is changing how it actually makes the glare when it interacts with the camera, or something. The vertical flare is definitely one of my favourites too. This is only tangentially related- but will the dynamic brightening/dimming of stars as you get closer/farther from them be included in the Kronos release as well, or is that a future thing? I know it was mentioned recently at one of the Fanfest panels this year.
chaosjj The Onirvura Initiative 60	Posted - 2014.05.15 05:25:00 - [23] - Quote The new effects look great, i like the fact that each startype has its own effect. but while on the subject of star types, are there plans to correct the current star discriptions, for example a red giant star, labled K5V, should be more like KVIII, the "V" indicates a more regular star (main sequence) while a "III" indicates a more evolved star, like a red giant. examples: star like sun: G2V Blue bright: O4II red giant: K7III White dwarf: Bpe Orange star: K2V Blue star: B5V white star: A3V

The primary stars in known WH space were considered during the development of these modifications to the camera drone technology which filters and interprets stellar light for capsuleer display systems. Unfortunately, as I understand it, there hasn't yet been enough Empire research on light emitted through unique trapezia interplay of the binary- and trinary-star systems present in many wormholes to account for these with recent advances in visualization. I can assure you that specialists are deep in consideration regarding additional potential developments.

Great to see they're worked in too :) And the new solar flares are just beautiful. Can't wait to see them myself. Looking forward to more advancements in this matter!
