I’d imagine this being used in horror games, you can invert colors and such and it would make the experience so much better!

[@reyyhuh]

It is. Are you stupid or living under a rock? because most scary/psychological horror games do this.

[@connordendy]

The engine doesn’t like it when that happens and generates “small bits of lag” or an entire nuclear meltdown for most

[@DanialDEcool]

You could use viewport frames for that instead, it’d also not be as hardware challenging.

8:39 Negative saturation inverts the hue and leaves all shades of gray untouched :)

[@fadyzain]

You can also bypass another property of decals, the color, you have to manually type them, but you can bypass (255, 255, 255) with something like (255555, 255555, 255555), which will produce a really weird effect for the decal.

There’s this sparkly set on royale high (I think it’s December’s Dream) and they recommend setting the sparkle colors to 700, 700, 700 for maximum sparkle iirc

[@richardgibson8403]

For the negative transparency, I think it’s basically applying the texture multiple times. The texture is aliased, so its edges “fade” out, getting more transparent as it goes. But negative transparency makes everything not fully transparent less transparent, so that aliased edges get fully turned to complete visibility

[@impala831]

Idk if you know this, but if you set a light color value to -255, -255, -255, it makes a very cool dark light

[@dunkedidklol]

16:32 thats because even on the negatives, transparency continues to make everything more visible. so the fade of the texture becomes a completely solid color, making it look pretty distorted. the thing is, the default roblox face seems to not have any fade, so it doesnt change at all.

[@dunkedidklol]

so that is why straight lines become thicker and curves become distorted

[@matulko5y]

the reason the spawn location and some other textures look like that in the negatives is because they have something transparent in their decals, changing the value to something negative will start to make it visible.

[@magicdippyegg]

But the face also has something transparent

[@Konoreyet]

transparent pixel bleeding if i had to guess, because of semi transparent pixels(often not erased properly. so its almost impossible to see with the naked eye) and/or the alpha layer wasn't made properly

[@rockyes3239]

The reason why blue and yellow starts appearing is because the new default baseplate's atmosphere is bluish, and the yellow appears is because yellow is the opposite of blue

[@orangdot]

5:57 its probably cuz of pbr textures.

[@Drifter404fr]

Fun fact, changing a forcefield part's transparency to -10 (fully neon) can sometimes have a trippy effect. It can cause parts to try and "fixate" themselves and its kinda cool.

[@randomchannel22536]

If you make an glass ball put the transparency really high and add a disabled highlight it makes a distortion effect.

I was just messing around with color correction then found it out

[@Error_999_FelixFound_False]

When you set the values below -1, saturation seems to only invert the hue of the experience, while contrast seems to invert the hue and luminosity (brightness).

[@SyncronedStuff]

13:36 This is because with negative numbers, the property tries to remove transparency from partially transparent pixels

[@clockthefantastic]

turning a color correction to -1 actually looks like a good impact frame ngl

[@Ohioat4ambombsSusu5]

I had made a sort of game with this lighting deformation and it ended up with a sort of liminality

[@TheRealHorizonGD]

12:29 a few years ago you were actually able to change the reflectance of a part to a negative value and actually see a big difference but roblox for some reason patched it. jailbreak used this effect for some of the car wraps

[@wastoxic]

Is there any footage of this effect?

[@smth35]

Wait negative reflectance does nothing?

[@omega72519]

Rendering can get super interesting sometimes, some parts aren't so easy to understand but I'll try to explain what's going on. *Keep in mind this is based off visual speculation, personal experience, and some research so no it's not 100% accurate* 4:43 Contrast defines relative brightness, if the intensity is brought up, after going over middle contrast color values are more and more restricted to the nearest allowed value. Later on about the noisy effect, this is in just about all renders, mainly with lighting, it's easy to understand why with ray-tracing but Roblox doesn't exactly support that so it could do with how Roblox renders it's lighting. Render noise can be super subtle, very commonly unnoticeable. 5:30 And yes, saturation *multiplies* RGB channel hue, intern intensifying colors in a more vibrant fashion as opposed to Contrast's "posterizing" look. Basically the less saturation you put, the more equal the RGB values will be. 6:50 This proves my statement that adjusting a part's reflectance uses a sort of contrast to define reflect intensity. With inverted contrast, you'd expect inverted RGB channel relativity as shown here. 7:45 Inverting saturation inverts color intensity only, which results in only inverted "colors*, never inverted value. 12:00 This kind of proves my point right and wrong now seeing it again, but yea, the color and value are basically being intensified causing a similar effect to contrast. For negative reflectance, yes that was proven wrong, maybe I'm thinking something else. 13:10 This is easy to explain, the spawn point decal has an alpha channel allowing the image to be displayed with transparent pixels. What Roblox does to adjust the transparency amount to the whole image is by multiplying the image alpha channel with the ImageTransparency property, so when setting it under 0, it's multiplying the alpha channel even more, which seemingly removes the blurring of the image... 14:23 I can see the confusion of it "widening", again it's simply being multiplied, including the blurring, intern "un-transparenting" the blur, I can try to make a quick vid to demonstrate...? Again, none of this is 100% accurate, if you have any better explanations, feel free to share!

[@galaxylegend7852]

11:30 you can negative reflect, try the glass texture.

[@billy-k1e]

you can actually get negative reflectance by setting the material to glass.

[@maxifire32]

10:16 i don't know why but that reminds me of the game Antichamber

[@happyshiftrblx]

For the saturation inverting some colors at around 8:01, I believe this is because it inverts the colors of the rainbow, but keeps black, white, and grey the same

[@lcareo]

negative reflectance and transparency used to actually do something but for some reason roblox decided to "fix" it and make it do nothing

[@tylerrblxyt2024]

In the lighting property, that also happens with ColorShiftTop and Bottom, same happens on Brightness, and Fog Color

[@rezzich]

0:16 "numbers, right?" WHAAAAAT?!?!?!?

[@LanTriBlox]

I'm pretty sure difference between negative contrast and negative saturation is that the contrast effects both colour and brightness but saturation only effects the colour. so white stays white and black stays black

[@YourAverageRock]

The texture blocking’s is caused by the translucent pixels being fully visible, not adding more

[@keremegllx666]

The forcefield material on a part allows it to have changes with negative transparency. The higher the negative numbers are, the more solid it becomes.

[@whact]

i really love this feature, i use it whenever the player dies

[@TlMEL0RD]

Btw. Reflectance does have a deference if you add more. Cause at 1 reflectance it doesn’t affect the player. But at 10 reflectance it reflects the player.

[@reflzx]

what i realized is, the face on rigs is scaled down alot (which is weird) but if you put the texture on a part that isnt the head, or move the head to the workspace instead of the rig model it works like any other decal

[@robotmafia-b1q_OFFICIAL]

8:57 The reason the saturation only changes some things is because it is restricted to only change colors. Nothing else is inverted.

[@RelaxingHeat]

btw, you can also set the material to "ForceField", then negative transparency will wshow

[@Howtoeatrocks]

yooo a fellow pigeon appreciator nice

[@CaptainwylieAlt]

You can change the transparency of decals to a negative number and it doesn't just make it look like 0 transparency

[@Jacko_hedgehog]

I believe I understand some of these effects pretty well even though I haven't played Roblox before

[@myithspa25]

Fun fact: negative transparency does actually do something, but only if the part has the glass texture.

[@WafflesWasTaken]

8:40 it doesn't, kinda. Saturation doesn't affect black and white colors, that's because black is any color, but very unsaturated, and the white is any color, but super saturated.

[@yes9_9]

okay the reason because you CANT change the face's texture, is because it is a png inside your roblox folder. inside one folder in the roblox's is the face texture, which can be modified to have any kind of face you want, it will be also applied to other players. It is not a decal, it is a png inside of your local computer. You have to change the png to make it look different.

[@whatdidyousay245]

Nope, you can make negative transparencies (on forcefield) 1:37

[@whatdidyousay245]

its makes the forcefield clear

[@Karamelmecdukrakata]

[@CeIestite]

12:25 great explanation

[@Voipy]

btw, you can oil up, then negative transparency will show

[@peglin5117]

For negative saturation it just inverts hue, not value. So it has the same “brightness”

[@Lolo_Antonio-FryEmUpFan]

Seems like something i would write in.a Review in Spanish

[@ProgramDoesStuff]

17:06 I think the problem here is that you have to ungroup the face decal first

[@spookycoop276]

I believe this works on the colors of mesh textures as well. However, I think it looks different in game than in studio.

[@DraggedBox]

I think the face doesn't change because of the mesh it's on.

[@FVAC_Incorporation]

11:59:59 this is the end of the video

[@AllYoutube-all4u]

making saturation to negative basically makes it so the colours are inverted but not the brightness

[@AllYoutube-all4u]

as it doesn't only remove colour, it decreases it, so it can become negative

[@AllYoutube-all4u]

it can be paired with the contrast to make a sort of "normal" invert

[@yyhhttcccyyhhttccc6694]

i usually set reflectance to stupid values for fun nice seeing other pepole do this on other things in studio

[@user-pr6ed3ri2k]

17:28 The resson the face doesn't change might have something to do with it being plastered onto a mesh
