how do i restart the settings?
i messed it up

@lp18679 hey settle down ok?

Ultra mega legendary addon

Legendary addon.

Sure

does this require photoshop?

Yes, it was with my permission.

Neatnit, did you know someone uploaded a newer version of soft lamps?

where can you find vaddons?

Aaay that's your problem and also this addon is old,go download "vaddons".

fix your shitty fucking addon, does not even cast shadows, no matter what settings i use

V for anyone else who has this problem, it's stored in the screenshots folder from your gmod directory as a png file with a prefixed name poster. V

I have an propblem. When I type in console "poster_soft 2", the the render ends, but the screenshot is not saved.

i finally figured this addon out, ty. i hope this helps me in making better artwork

This addon works perfectly, it's purpose more for in game rendering to make artworks.

@Grodzio122λ nibba this mod is two years old

Cool addon. Lamps won't emmit any light. Fix your shit before you post it into workshop.

M o t h

I don't like soft shadows...



I like em hard ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

noce!

I'm still having hud issues with this mod, even after the update.
Am I doing something wrong here?

Ok thanks ^^

I've found the source of this bug, I will upload a fix tomorrow. Sorry for the mess!

I had hud problems too, so until it is fixed I enabled it only when I use it.

You're right, that's super weird. I'll look into it.

Ok, this is really weird. but after the update this mod made it so the killfeed and a lot of other hud elements like some windows and text boxes didn't show up. i experimented with disabling lots of mods and the problem was fixed after i disabled this addon. (and just to be sure i turned it back on and tried again and the problem came back) its a shame since i liked this addon. very weird that a lamp addon would effect the killfeed and hud elements.

Thanks succ.

If you guys want the renders to be back to the way they were before without being darkened, set poster_darken to 0.1.

It's set to 1 by default in this update.

Like honestly the old version was so much better.

Can you post the previous version as a separate addon?

everytime i try to render out a lightbounce after getting the calculations, i just get a super-bright version of the last rendered poster

Ok, gotcha, thanks!

It was actually just updated to the most recent version floating around on the internet. There was a bit of a mess with the versions, the workshop version was out of date for a long time. This "update" was just me uploading the correct version back to the workshop.

For help with using it, the facepunch gmod screenshots community can help and they have a few guides on it... I'm sorry, I have no intention of maintaining this version, if I spend any time on this it should go towards the completely new rewritten version.

Oooh Nice! Can you maybe link the update log/tell me what was updated?

Not actively at the moment (I wish I had the time). However, I did just update this version to the one floating around the internet.

Also, are you working on a new version? It would be exciting to see what the new soft lamps could do!

Hey, I was wondering if these Soft Lamps work well as a standalone lamp? I still only know how to make simple screenshots (IDK how to scenebuild good, blend everything, etc.) so I was wondering if they offered any better, or maybe worse results if used on their own.

It's not in this version.

Помогите пожалуйста, уже долгое время пытаюсь ввести в консоль "poster_godrays" и в ответ получаю [Unknown command: poster_godrays] , что мне сделать?

Help please, I've been trying to enter "poster_godrays" into the console for a long time and get [Unknown command: poster_godrays] , what should I do?

Tomisup - you can tweak how it looks in the editing process later.

Chibi (and anyone else) - I have a short break soon so I might be able to finish a basic new version. No promises though.

can't wait for the improved version

Tried the godrays from the link Dreamnet provided and it sort of...works? How do I change the "opacity" or the brightness of the godrays? I assume the godrays work like passing a number of white plane, taking a pic for every plane and merge them to create the godray effect? I've seen people use the godrays to create a fog, and they can control the 'thickness' of the fog by the number of passes. But when I for example compare 32 passes with 400 passes, the 32 passes just look 'choppy' but the brightness of the ray is still the same.

Any help is appreciated, thx :)

New version is a WIP, no guarantees or expected release date currently.

Hello author! I really love your soft lamps. I see [OLD] in the upload title, does it mean there's a new version somewhere? Thank you :)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/czr6kwir4xrl7cf/softlampsstuff.rar?dl=0 Have a look at this, poster_godrays should work as long as poster_aa is set to 0.

Such is the life of a softlamper.

I'm really sorry, I had what I can only describe as 'writer's block' and at this point I'd have to start from scratch and build something *right* from the ground up... I can't find the time for it. Sorry :(

Read the comment below, but I'm hoping maybe things have changed about god rays? Would love to see those implimented. Got way too many ideas that could use them

I hereby confirm SSgt. Jack Kader's post.

yeah pretty much
