So I'd like to present one of my latest 'depth of field' texturing methods. This is for Moratheia version 2.0, I thought I'd save some screenshots and post them here given that this thread has been inactive for some time.
As you can see from the process images, the method involves taking a high poly render from Blender and using it as a texture in Sword of Moonlight. The map pieces (2x2) do not exceed 70 vertices each.
This method is great for Sword of Moonlight as it creates the illusion of depth while being assigned to low poly models, keeping the frame rate high even on low end machines - tried and tested!
If anyone is interested in this DoF method, post here to encourage more art related news.
