I saw someone on here..
polycounter lvl 8
To make a long story short.. I saw an environment posted in pimping and previews once.. It was like a downtown-ish city and had a giant floating mouse head in the sky. Kind of post-apoc/dark mood. Does anyone know the thread I am referring to? >.<

I would love to play around with that effect myself on a few things.
Don't overuse it though, I swear its on it's way to becoming the next lens flare.
+1 for don't overuse Chromatic-Abberation.
I mean I understand the appeal, it fakes realism, but you have to remember that in real-life, Chroma happens for small things on pale backgrounds, like hair against the sky, transparent pieces of papers which are bent, maybe some hand mark smudge here and there, not like in those images, where half of the biker is send to high heaven and back with 3 broken colors.
So yeah, take care.
Ah Chromatic-Abberation. Well its the subtle hints of it that caught my eye. I don't think I would ever of liked it over used.
That makes it sound like an error, or at least the result of using a cheap lens. I'm not sure why we would want to simulate that.
Same thing could be said about lense flare.
Anything that reminds you there's a camera there, I don't see the point of.
Come on! Don't tell me you didn't think it was awesome when you were playing Metroid Prime and your screen got all wet from the rain! Blew my mind back in the day
Oh yeah, that was awesome. But there they had the excuse of the player wearing a helmet, so it made sense.
For Sci-Fi, my favorite stuff was the space scenes in Firefly. I don't remember if they used lens-flares or not, but I loved how it goes all silent. The excuse being that since there's no air in space, you won't hear the engines and whatnot.
I was speaking to an indi film maker friend about such effects and its surprising how hard it is to find ways to correctly get the old VHS look, without actual having to get a real VHS player and feed it into a modern digital format.
I really could have done with it last year working on a game about the early 80's
