Whole scene Radar Effect,how?
Not sure what it is actually called so i came up with that name,anyways i've had this thing on the back of my head for a long time(eversince i played Arkham City),and i keep seeing it being used left and right these days,most recent examples would be the E3 Halo 4 and Sprinter Cell:Blacklist demoes,both of which had a… -

Do you know how to use the material editor? Go find out how to put a material across the whole screen (postprocess material) and how to read the depth at a pixel (destdepth). -
Re: Whole scene Radar Effect,how?
I'm kind of familiar with PP Materials,and have tried to create the effect with no success,i'll take a look around for what you suggested about destdepth,meanwhile i hope someone with a bit more information about this effect will give a clearer solution to my problem... -
