Camera effect question

[Tensor]

Ok, I've got a few ideas and I was wondering if anyone can think of a way to implement them.

First, is there a way to make only the terrain darker? Or make units brighter?

Second, can anyone think of a way to blur something?

You can't do anything to make the terrain darker or make units brighter. However, you can probably make the camera blur by using Fade Filters.

U can make the terrain brighter aka fog units brighter aka tinting the color.

During gameplay, wc3 illuminates the map with two models: a unit light model and a terrain light model. Usually they effectively match eachother, but if you were to get your hands on two models for the job, you could easily use a darker model for units then terrain or vise versa. The function used to set the models is:

call SetDayNightModels("terrain model path","unit model path")

I recommend finding a modeller to hook you up.

Sort of, just use a bunch of transparent models. May not be the effect you want though, since that's not actually going to create a good true 'blur' effect unless you use a LOT of models.
