Here's the node setup for the black-and-white TV with scanlines.

The green color is RGB 77, 149, 28. These add up to 255. Those represent the RGB ratios originally used to map real-life color onto a monochrome tv image.

The Math:Cosine node is doing the lines. Then I have to adjust them to make them positive and produce the correct contour.

The frequency of the lines is that number 1500. Bigger numbers produce more lines. Be careful - you can get interference patterns if the lines start to approach the size of your actual pixels. To make really fine lines, you'll have to increase your render quality quite a bit. You'll want to use smaller Min Shading Rate, and larger Pixel Samples.

I also added some small amount of blue tint to the results - this is in the color setting of the Alternate_Diffuse channel.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
