Rotoscope is a graphical modification for Doom3, which enables high quality, real-time cartoon shading. Unlike other cartoon shaders, this modification preserves most of the graphical detail of the original game. Nevertheless, the visual experience of Doom3 is completely changed, and the onscreen display looks like a typical modern cartoon. Rotoscope can be used to make realistically looking comic stories, it can supply artistic effects for machinima, or it can simply be used to re-experience the classic Doom3 experience with a new "look-and-feel".
It would be nice if you could take this opportunity to brighten things up a bit...
I really think it looks a lot better once you get ingame really nice work :D
Cool shader effect. I like the look but its just a tad too dark.
I think it looks kick ***, I want to try it
Effing amazing
This reminds me of Killer 7. Nice work!
Looks good, but find a way to make it look more like a true cartoon and less like the image has simply been posterized.
Indeed. Release a video because right now these screen shots look like they're Photoshopped...
holy jeez that look nice!
but yeah, i agree you should release a video
Hmm a bit weird with such a dark game, but still cool.
It's a good start, it might want a bit more contrast thrown into it and a few other tweaks here and there :)
Or, you guys could just download it and see for yourselves.
Now the game is looking like something :D
Looking crash hot.
YOU DO KNOW CHANGING THE ENGINE IS ILLEGAL RIGHT??
I am happy to see that many of you like this mod! I just made a little website (http://dungeondoom.d3files.com/rotoscope/), which so far does not contain much though. I would really like to release a video, but I do not have the capabilities to record one on my machine. It is simply not powerful enough to run the game and to screencapture at high resolution and high framerates - and making a low res or slideshow-like video would not really give it justice. So, if any of you guys can make a video, I would be very happy to post it.
Concerning the shader itself, it is not an engine modification, but simply an image postprocess running on the graphics card. It is not illegal at all. I tried some variations of it, such as smoother transitions between the brighter and darker parts, but the result was basically a less cartoonish/artistic and more technical look-and-feel, which I did not like so much. Anyways, these details, as well as the question, if Doom3's environments should be lightened up compared to the original are mostly a matter of taste. But anyways, keep posting your comments, but if you have a suggestion to improve the effect, try to be as specific as possible!
