Night Vision Post Processing shader
developed a night vision post-processing that simulates how real NVGs work in an effort to make a highly realistic re-creation of night visions. supports lots of customization as well as a COTI system that uses a custom buffer to create outlines on heat-emitting objects
this project took about 2 days to finish
and example of realistic contrast when the player is in close proximity to light sources
A side by side shot, compairing the nvg effect being on and off
an example showcasing the Coti system, outlining heat-emitting sources. this is referenced from a real-life COTI thermal imaging system.
here's an example of an extreme low light scenario, turning the night vision off results in a near-pitch-black scene that is realistically lit by only the faint light of the moon and night sky
