Introduction:[/u]
Heyho, since some people kept asking me stuff about color corrections I alyways wanted to do any tutorial for my actual template. I Was too lazy, but arsed myself now too. This template involves: Screen brightening, higher contrast, light tinted blue shadows, a lot of white diffusion and area darkenings. I hope you enjoy the following work and won't suggest me to change something in this, because I'm satisfied with this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples:[/u]
First off I guess you should know how the results of this would look like, so here below are a two examples of how the template's look looks applied on different map areas and daytimes.
LS country at 12pm (<- Original SA look; Applied CC look ->):
LV city at 0am (<- Original SA look; Applied CC look ->):
In one of my SASL3 entries was the look also already involved:
SASL 3 - Region 1 - Round 3 - Stevex vs. R69 - R69's entry--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Needed Software:[/u]
Sony Vegas 7.0x
(or higher)NewBlue Film Effects
(plugin)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important infos:[/u]
Only download the .rar-archive for Sony Vegas 7/8/9 if you are sure that your version can open the involved .veg-file. The template settings are involved as screenshots in the .rar-archive for Sony Vegas 9.0x, but you may don't understand all infos of the screenshots, because they are displayed in german.
It is recommended to follow the steps manually. If you want to share this tutorial somewhere, please ask me for permission even if its free and useable for everyone. This template might also fits with other games (VC, IV, NFS, CS(S), CoD, etc.), but I only tested it on NFS series.
