game does not render well

[FARaveN]

Hi All
I have noticed that in game and screan shots do not render the colors the whay they are on the skin... its only when i Tweek them in PS ie contrast or color corection do they renderwith the colors I picked is there a way to capture the colors in game? the game is aces high that im working with now.

here is what I mean

Game Screan

The Way It is ment to look

GAME

The way Its ment to be

Is there any way around this??? my point is if I paint in a color why do I need to color corect to pull it out??

Sometimes this can depend on the angle of the sun in the game (time of day) and it can happen depending on what shaders are on the game models.

I've never used Aces High, but someone who has experience can probably tell us what we are seeing.

I actually think the un-corrected pics look pretty nice, myself.

Many game engines tend to make the colours brighter.
Graphical settings also have influence on the colour appearance.
I allways use a special layer to darken the skin a little.

A game engine SHOULD change the colour of the skin (and I guess all since say 1995 do it). It will/should:
- Make the side towards the sun brighter
- Maybe put shadows onto objects
- Make it Time of Day / latitude / time of year dependant, for example redder in the evening.
- Make it weather dependant, for example flying in summer in the UK under a thundercloud your plane will look very different than if there is no cloud
- Make it dependant on the surroundings, for example moving over blue water or over green grass. HL2 does this for example.
- light up when guns fire
- when flying at night, light up from the nav light
etc

If the colour on screen would always be the same as the skin colour, all of that would be impossible.

Copy that but no mater were i put it time of day turn to sun ect the blue on the skin dose not show or the seperation of light grey to darker gary.

I think what i need to do is make the colors even darker and richer on the skin than i think they need to be
