Heya,

Read this page http://www.3drad.com/CamChase.php .  At the bottom you will see "Internal Parameters"  These will be available when you link a sript object to the chase cam.

For example, in your script, to activate bloom:

Code: [Select]
void Main()
{
  OUT_2 = 2;
}
That will activate bloom for the camera. OUT_2 = 1 would be for blur.

Then you have Filter A - D. These are the different settings for the bloom effect (make sure you read the link I posted above). Here's another example;

Code: [Select]
void Main()
{
   OUT_2 = 2; //Activate the bloom filter
   OUT_6 = 1; //Bloom intensity
}
Just link a script to your chase came and read the bottom of the page I linked and you should understand what's going on. If you don't understand something don't hesitate to ask.

Get a better gfx card :)
Bloom effects uses alot of videoram to render.
Also try with the lastest drivers from you manufacturerer.

i have an awesome computer too, but bloom kills me on 3d rad.
i have 128mb vid ram, i think bloom doubles the vram usage or something (like 256mb video req)

basically, resize the screen to tiny to make it work.

Currently using 7.22
