TGE Rainbow

I still have some tweaks to do on this one, but I am quite content with the results; It's no real rainbow but might be good for some scenes; next, fake light shafts and other similar stuff; that, if i manage to complete the waterfall tonight : )
I wrote this to a friend and really explains this blog post:
See, I can't stand designs that have 'visual' flaws; ...; to see my point, check out my last blog - i want beautifull games (as in beautiful visually, not high-processing power ultra realistic stuff ala crysis); you know, stuff that might come right out of a nice tale of our childhood..

BTW, this kind of visual composition is more than never well called "Art"

Is it color on a skybox? How did you do this rainbow?

@Adib - It's actually dynamic, it can slowly rise or get smaller with any speed (the slower the nicer), it blends nice with everything (except terrain w is ok); a simple texture and a light datablock with flare option ON. I'll probably have a pdf in the pack explaining all these waterfalls and rainbows and birds an shorelines and whatnot.

What are the alpha channel setting on the effect, if you don't mind?

Just pick up a PNG texture, make sure you type in the full path to it (ie. starter.fps/data/~/rainbow.png) and play with size and everything; it really depends on what you want to achieve; The beauty of it is when you move around and as you go farther it grows and rises. I'll make a video as soon as the rest of the stuff is done.

Josh, there's nothing fantastic there but stock TGE (formerly TLK) code and that is the light datablock with flare (any light datablock has this option I think); Just pick up a PNG texture, make sure you type in the full path to it (ie. starter.fps/data/~/rainbow.png) and play with size and everything; it really depends on what you want to achieve; The beauty of it is when you move around and as you go farther it grows and rises.
