I'm trying to replicate one visual effect. The bottom line is that the game has interface elements that appear only if health is below 100% (a HP bar appears), and also if a weapon is in your hands (an ammo counter appears).
I saw one streamer how he was able to visually change the design of these strips on stream. (in the game he saw a standard display) That is, when the interface is inactive, the overlay is not visible, but when it appears, it appears with an overlay.
I tried to use different options available in obs, but could not understand how it was done. The first image is the standard color and interface https://ibb.co/NT47Ttr , the second image is how it looked on the stream https://ibb.co/Y2HgDbV .
Tell me how this can be done, what overlay methods or maybe plugins should be used?
Decorate HP bar and ammo
Hey! Not sure if you're still looking for help on this, but it's my first time taking a look at the Creator Crew section.
For one way to do this, you'll likely need three things:
- Something to clone sources, e.g. Exeldro's Source Clone plugin
- OBS's built-in Chroma/Color key filter
- A Dynamic Mask plugin, e.g. FiniteSingularity's Advanced Masks
Basically, you'd make a new Clone source (copying the SoT capture). To this, you'd add either a Chrome or Color filter targeting the colour of the health bar. This will result in an image without the health/ammo bars.
Finally, you'd make use of the Dynamic Mask filter (targeting the inverse of the previous clone) on full-size source image of what you want overlayed on your health bar. Note that the image ideally needs to be the same dimensions as the gameplay capture source.
