SweetFX Shader Suite release and discussion thread

Here are some battlefield 3 screen shots with my settings,i only play on vanilla and close quarters maps and these settings work nicely.

Code:

Game: Battlefield 3
SweetFX version: 1.2
Author: PandaSushi
Description: These settings add a slight yellow tint to help remove the blue tint,
             removing blue doesn't seem to work that well with the exception of death valley.
             i have also increased gamma to darken shadows slightly.

Awesome, thanks alot

 

So any one have tryed smaa in windows 8 ???
and no word from CeeJay.dk

 

works fine in Win 8 pro RTM 64bit.

 

I already replied to you - you must have missed it.

Basically you need to change the folder permissions to allow for write access to that folder. There are many guides and videos on how to do that - just google for them.

 

Hi,
Any more thought on setting layout since my last reply?
http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4429424&postcount=320
I know your busy and it's probably the last thing on your mind

 

lolo... @yosef019

Just throw that damn Win 8 out of teh Window and installk a proper win 7 = no Probs anymore.. Dont get why u use win 8 anyways..hehe, last time i was on your PC and helping u via TeamView u sayd u hate Win 8, now ur on it..U are strange mate..

And like CeeJay.dk sayd, Google it

 

No sucses

Im the admin so why i cant use it
i disable security service not help too
Nvidia fxaa work via inspector but no luck with injectors:bang:

 

no aa affect smaa

hi i have used smaainjector with many games and dont notice any aa difference i switch on and off and notice its switch but add no bonus at all. what are the best setting for max aa i hate jaggies and normally use nvinspector if i cant use sgssa i try msaa + smaa

 

you could use these settings for smaa AA..

and depend on what game ur playing u also can add

if u play bf3 or such dont use corner rounding..

going any higher in AA settings dont really make a visual difference anymore..These settings u can compare to smaa ULTRA presset..

-BetA-

 

LOL guys F***ing Fraps disaple the smma injector.... now i only found it
no ned any permisions.... you tell me

 

Question Is it possible to improve AA in the distance? Take a look at the towers in the distance on both images they look the same AA. But up close the AA is superb really do love this injector.

ON


Off

 

Try raising this here: marked red..

try 64 and 98 and see if it makes a difference..
Would be nice if u post the screens also.

BetA

 

They was taking with 98 I forgot to mention that. it was the first thing I changed.

 

Increasing the max search steps won't work for that.
SMAA 1x doesn't not detect it as one line if the line is broken like that because the details got smaller than 1 pixel in size and so some of the samples does not detect that something is there which results in a broken line.

Humus invented a nice solution to this problem that is simple, fast and effective - but it requires game support (or an injector written specifically for the game you're trying to apply it to). I can't put it in SweetFX.

To anti-alias such thin geometry you need an AA technique that uses subpixel samples - meaning it samples the same pixel in slightly different locations and then blends the result.

MLAA, FXAA and SMAA 1x can't do this.

MSAA, SSAA, SGSSAA, OGSSAA , TXAA and SMAA (T2x, S2x and 4x) can.

In some games you can combine these with injected SMAA 1x.
In the games where you can't you could combine SMAA with downsampling.

 

I was busy - It slipped my mind - sorry.

I would prefer to keep the settings.txt both human readable and machine readable. So we should try for something that look like something a human would write but a program could understand.

About
//START_USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING
//END_USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING

I don't see why you can detect
"// ( Enabled by setting "

as the start and end the section where you detect the next
"// ( Enabled by setting " or you reach the end of the file

Or you could detect the

Code:

   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.
  /                  SMAA Anti-aliasing settings                /
  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/

section dividers I already use.

I could also change their look to be easier to detect.

Alternatively I could change the start of the settings to have the USE_XXXXX keywords point to the human readable section they toggle.

Like so :

Code:

   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.
  /                      Choose effects                         /
  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/

// Set to 1 for ON or 0 for OFF
#define USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1 //[0 or 1] SMAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines.
#define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth - I'm working on fixing that.
#define USE_BLOOM 0       //[0 or 1] Bloom : makes bright lights bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively high performance cost)
#define USE_HDR 0         //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high performance cost)
#define USE_TECHNICOLOR 0 //[0 or 1] TECHNICOLOR : Attempts to mimic the look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip color process (Techicolor Process 4)
#define USE_TONEMAP 0     //[0 or 1] Tonemap :
#define USE_VIBRANCE 1    //[0 or 1] Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.
#define USE_CURVES 1      //[0 or 1] Curves :
#define USE_SEPIA 0       //[0 or 1] Sepia :
#define USE_VIGNETTE 0    //[0 or 1] Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. May cause banding artifacts.
#define USE_DITHER 0      //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts (mostly caused by Vignette)
#define USE_DPX 0         //[0 or 1] Cineon DPX : Should make the image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon - basically it's another movie-like look similar to technicolor

Notice that after [0 or 1] comes the name of the section as it is written below (only without the settings bit)
So from [0 or 1] to the ":" is the string that identifies the section and that the name of the section should begin with.

Actually I like this idea the best - if you don't see a problem with that , then I say we go with that.
It should be both human readable and machine readable.

I think the delimiters :
"-" = Negative
"~" = To
"|" = Or
"," = Delimiter for multi param settings that require more controls.

are good, though you could also just use " to " as the to delimiter and " or " as the or delimiter.
Possible "->" would also be a more human readable delimiter or maybe " .. " or " -- "

 

If you get it to work let me know because I tried EVERYTHING!!!!

 

bf3 crashes after a while on my pc when i'm using the injector.

 

I talked to Yosef when we where playing BF3. And he sayd he had FRPAS running..He turned it off and now it works..

hmm, are u overclocking?
What settings do you use?

Do you have ingame aa and at ati panel deactivated?

 

Do you get the same result with InjectSMAA or FxaaTool ?
How about with ENB?
