Greenscreen/Chroma Key Coloured Object in the Foundry! PLEASE

Hi there,

This is a very quick asset request for a Chroma Key colour object to be made and put into the foundry.

For those that don't know what I'm talking about, Chroma Keying is the process often referred to as Green/Bluescreen, whereby an actor, or a prop etc are filmed against a Solid colour (Chroma Green, Blue or Red depending on the main colours of the object/person) allowing for special effects to be placed in behind them.
Anywho, film lesson over..


Machinima projects in STO such as PrimetimeUGC, ST Rising and such would benefit hugely from the addition of just a few very simple primitives (even just flat planes, vertical and horizontal with texture on one side) in Chroma Green and Chroma Blue would allow us to do so much more than we can already, and speed up production times dramatically.

So far we've been limping by with a vaguely reddish wall prop, but 1. it's not defined enough to allow us to get a clean keying and 2. It very much limits us to our shots.

About 9 months ago, Mapolis added these objects into the NW foundry almost overnight, I know it's not possible to really copy them over, but all we're asking for is a very small amount of time from a Dev to create these assets and put them into the foundry. It'll help us out so much.. and you never know.. you may just get cookies ;-P

    Oh, I cannot tell you how much having just one wall and platform would mean to me. With all the extra time these assets would save me, I could go back to donating time to the orphanage. They miss me so. Please.....

    P.S. They make very good cookies over at that orphanage.

    Halo 4's Forge mode had it added into it, i'd hope it can be added in here too

    Yes please. I would like this too and could see all sorts of uses for it.

    If this asset could be added it would make a big difference to video makers. It would open up all sorts of possibilities.

    I really hope this request gets seriously considered. :)
