Post processing

[Patrick]

Farsight recently answered me on facebook about post processing. I asked them to use the extra power of iPad Air to have a descent lightning management and they told me that it is not possible for them.
And then they indicated me to use the post processing option... Hum... If I remember well it is no longer available. But perhaps I am wrong. Anyway I can't find it... A clue?

Post processing was removed. It didn't work properly. And people kept turning it on by mistake and then complaining that the game looked like crap. So they took it out.

So I wonder who from farsight replied this to me

It was in there for a long time. But when you turned it on everything slowed down and it looked poor.
I'm guessing the person just forgot it was removed.
Maybe they will bring it back in the future when the devices get more powerful.

If they implement metal with iOS 8, they could use better lighting. Ask them about metal API

Well, the lighting 'thing' is something that could be resolved very easily. Probably from the dawn of my appearance here on this fine forum I have been advocating for the use of backed shadows/lighting on the texture maps. This would bring out the elements better and give a better lighting simulation. To see how this work out see iOS Zaccaria, which looks just better and more realistic. With the help of sliders you could even adjust the fx, something that should be brought over to TPA, like physics adjustments.
But as always, I am just talking to myself.

I have to say as much as I play TPA %99 when I play virtual pinball, the lighting effects in the Zaccaria collection are fantastic and I do wish Farsight would at least have a "dark room" option.
