Many of you are already familiar with the AMAZING ENBSeries mods created by Boris Vorontsov (see Enbdev.com). While his HL2 adaptation has garnered much acclaim, an official adaptation has not been released for the original Half-Life. The HL2 adaptation unfortunately has only partial functionality when used with Half-Life: Source....
So, I did a good deal of research and tinkering, and have put together a shader package that is compatible with the Half-Life: Source engine. Much care has been taken with all settings to achieve an attractive and balanced set of effects, with the primary goal of enhancing visual immersion. This package contains a customized configuration of his Vampire Bloodlines adaptation of ENBSeries, and adds a palette texture for additional color correction. Overall the mod adds a moody sort of 'Bioshock-esque' feel to the original Half-Life aesthetic ... great for the scary moments!
See the demo videos in the Videos section!
NOTE:In the video, the effects are being enabled and disabled in real-time for comparison (See details on ENBSeries below). The gameplay in the video also uses amazing textures and models from: Facepunch.com
Effects included are:
- Adaptive Bloom
- Adaptive Depth of Field
- SSAO - Screenspace ambient occlusion (ambient soft-shadowing)
- Per-pixel lighting or Phong shading (see En.wikipedia.org)
- Color correction
- Motion Blur
