Material Post Effects Lab: Distance Color Blending within UDK

As mentioned in past posts, the Unreal Post Effects system is tremendously powerful.  One of the least-explored areas of UE3 is material-based post effects, which is simply one of the coolest pieces of the software.

sing the Scene Depth node, you can create a realtime depth mask to use in your shader, which I tend to do a lot.  One of the quick-and-easy benefits of using a depth mask is that you can tune foreground and background chroma and value independently to dial in the effect you're after.
