Also what's with the ambient sounds enabled in the background that's almost as loud as the music? All I hear is a bunch of birds chirping aside from the music, which really ruins the experience. The DOF effects could be improved a bit more.... The cut-off looks way too sharp and/or the effect is too strong. In fact, I don't see how anyone could consider the amount of cut-off in the DOF to be acceptable, it looks rather ridiculous. Brightness is close to fine I guess, but also seems a bit too much. Anyway, aside from those problems, it's a nice job. I am amazed at how many people don't know about the custom lighting/effects that can be run in SC2. did they not even play the campaign or what? There's also so many videos on youtube that showcase these sort of effects in custom maps— they haven't seen any of them? Personally, one of my favorite showcases doesn't even use much custom lighting effects; the quality is in the content — anyone can spend half an hour changing the DoF and lighting, but it takes a lot more work to set up a cool-looking environment.

Thing is you don't see strong lighting effects much in custom maps because it doesn't work well with people who don't have their graphics settings set high, which is probably the majority (or at least a large proportion) of players. That said, I think it's a bit strange how little it is used nonetheless, certainly seems underused. | ||

I'm quite ignorant on the topic so this might be a stupid question: does this mean lights/camera-effects are built within a map and that the only way to see the game like is, while playing, would be creating a map that makes use of those lights/camera-effects? This is not something that can be set "client side" then (regardless of map)? | ||

This is not something that can be set "client side" then (regardless of map)? It's a combination of both. Certain effects require the client's graphic settings to be set a minimum level of quality. For example, depth of field blurring only happens if the client post processing is set to "Ultra". But setting it to "Ultra" won't do anything if the map itself doesn't use depth of field. | ||
