It seems you used ENB series , the map looks really cool It's bright . I'm really liking what I see !

[Bofur]

Thanks Elessar!

Ugh Bloom lighting.

[Bofur]

Well its kind-of appropriate for Lorien

[MattTheLegoman]

Used in the right amount and at the right time its great.

Or for other people's cases, if you use just a little bit they can't detect it. Like celery in soup, which still tastes good if my mother doesn't tell me.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Unfortunatly it's Global in BFME.

[Lauri]

Have to agree with Rad. My eyes hurt.

[Bofur]

Trust me, its a little hard to get used to, but its not so noticable in-game

[Bashkuga]

Actually, bloom lighting is unrealistic IMO. I mean, since when do people or trees shine .

[Bofur]

idk, ill remove it then...

[Mathijs]

If you think it looks good, keep it.

[Elric]

How about a compromise. Remove half of the bloom lighting. Then keep half. Or remove it and save it as (map name) but add (bloom lighting) in parenthesis. So, for example Lorien would be: "Lorien (bloom lighting)" and another map just called "Lorien"

[Lauri]

No, let the creator of the map decide what he wants. I don't particulary like it, but if I play the map, I will soon forget about the effect.

[_Haldir_]

The bloom lighting would probably make more sense if it was afternoon/early morning, rather than daytime. And if you play around with the values a little, i'm sure you could get it to look fine. I'd probably make it less white, and reduce the overall amount a tiny bit. Like MTL said, bloom lighting can look lovely if it's subtle, and used in a way that seems natural.

Also, it seems a bit empty from what i can see in the few screenshots there. Some more rocks/grass would probably be nice.

[Bofur]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, ill try to improve it
