renault Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 After looking at all the wonderful Luminar adjusted screenshots I thought , maybe I should get on with concept and try it out But me, being me I thought why can't I just craft this up myself. At least that way, I'll understand the technology behind it and I'll learn something. For those of you who are photographers you will know all about Chromakey green screens. For those who don't, its how your local tv station puts the weather map behind the weather chap & makes it look real . Its a concept that photographers have been using to add backgrounds to photos for decades and well before digital photographs. Physical green screens are still a thing even today I found out in reading up on the technique. So a Chromakey shader later, about 4 keystrokes in Paint 3D (the AI selection algorithm seems pretty reliable) and two photos that I took the other day when I was out walking and I was in business. Couple screenshots at Starks twin oaks and 1 native XPlane and here we are. All screenshots are straight from the "V" key, the first two have some cloud pics I took and the last is all XPlane. I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with the concept to be honest. But I was able to confirm that one can go back to basics and get reasonable results. Hope you enjoy the results of my little experiment.... Cheers R Just plain XPlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
