Fun with in-engine color grading

Fred Showker's Photoshop Madness

Quite some time ago, Ignacio put some color grading features into the engine, so that you could tell the postprocessor to tweak colors in particular ways. For a while these features were very experimental; we just had them on a debug menu and there wasn’t a way to save the settings. We didn’t really use the features (in part because we were pretty busy just getting the basic parts of the game together).
      Now you can take a screenshot, screw around with the colors in Photoshop

Painting skin (colour and texture wise), hair and experimenting with lightsources takes a lot of thought.
      Many, many hours spent on this one. Everything painted from scratch, no references used, made in Painter and Photoshop.
