SweetFX Shader Suite release and discussion thread #4

Radeon.Pro.Use.It.For.Now.Works.With.Nvidia.Cards.Uses.SweetFX.1.4.Works.With.Win.8.1.PERIOD.

 

really? does 1.4 work with 8.1? I'll try that now.

 

I can make work Battlefield 4 this SweetFX+EFX in Windows 8.1 x64, not my work i just mix some files. Plz people with someone test with other games i think can work.


is preloaded dxgi to work with x64 games, if u wanna try a x86 (32bit) game in sweetFX folder rename eFX32.dll to d3d9.dll and move to the root toghether with dxgi.dll

RadeonPro uses SweetFX 1.4 and it also happens to work with 8.1.

 

Can't find 1.4 anywhere :/

 

Hey guys,

Groovy to see that my DPX shader got added into the package, very much appreciated. ^.^

I ported my film shader to SweetFX as well, I'll post the raw code here so anyone can use it - it's the raw code that I use, it's not optimized etc.



Code that I've been using with Borderlands 2:

Code:

   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.
  /                           Custom                            /
  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/
/*

*/

float4 CustomPass( float4 colorInput, float2 tex )
{

	float CurveR = 8.0;
	float CurveG = 6.0;
	float CurveB = 2.0;

    float Contrast = 0.2;
	
	float4 B = colorInput;

	float4 C = B;


	
	float A = dot(float3(0.333, 0.333, 0.333), B.rgb); 
	
	if (A < 0.5)

		C = (2 * A - 1) * (B - B * B) + B;
	
	else

		C = (2 * A - 1) * (sqrt(B) - B) + B;	
	
	C.r = pow(C.r, 0.7);
	C.g = pow(C.g, 0.7);
	C.b = pow(C.b, 0.9);

	C.r = (1 /(1 + exp(- CurveR * (C.r - .5))) - (1 / (1 + exp(CurveR / 2))))/(1 - 2 * (1 / (1 + exp(CurveR / 2))));				
	C.g = (1 /(1 + exp(- CurveG * (C.g - .5))) - (1 / (1 + exp(CurveG / 2))))/(1 - 2 * (1 / (1 + exp(CurveG / 2))));				
	C.b = (1 /(1 + exp(- CurveB * (C.b - .5))) - (1 / (1 + exp(CurveB / 2))))/(1 - 2 * (1 / (1 + exp(CurveB / 2))));				

	C = lerp(B, C, 0.75);
	
	C.rgb = lerp(C.rgb, float3(Contrast, Contrast, Contrast), 0.1);
	
	return C; 
}

Have fun with it. This snippet will not work with engines that use linear rendering, like Deus Ex Human Revolution.

Here's a quick-n-dirty tweak for Deus Ex, using a little more harsh composition:

Code:

   /*-----------------------------------------------------------.
  /                           Custom                            /
  '-----------------------------------------------------------*/
/*

*/

float4 CustomPass( float4 colorInput, float2 tex )
{

	float CurveR = 8.0;
	float CurveG = 6.0;
	float CurveB = 1.0;

    float Contrast = 0.5;
	
	float4 B = colorInput;

		B = pow(B, 0.5); 
	
	float4 C = B;


	
	float A = dot(float3(0.333, 0.333, 0.333), B.rgb); 
	
	C = (1 - A) * (A * B) + A * (1 - (1 - A) * (1 - B));	
	
	C.r = pow(C.r, 0.7);
	C.g = pow(C.g, 0.62);
	C.b = pow(C.b, 0.6);

	C.r = (1 /(1 + exp(- CurveR * (C.r - .5))) - (1 / (1 + exp(CurveR / 2))))/(1 - 2 * (1 / (1 + exp(CurveR / 2))));				
	C.g = (1 /(1 + exp(- CurveG * (C.g - .5))) - (1 / (1 + exp(CurveG / 2))))/(1 - 2 * (1 / (1 + exp(CurveG / 2))));				
	C.b = (1 /(1 + exp(- CurveB * (C.b - .5))) - (1 / (1 + exp(CurveB / 2))))/(1 - 2 * (1 / (1 + exp(CurveB / 2))));				

	C = lerp(B, C, 0.75);
	
	C.rgb = lerp(C.rgb, float3(Contrast, Contrast, Contrast), 0.1);
	
	return C; 
}

These were just quickly ported from my videoshaders and I haven't done any optimizing or benchmarking with them (Borderlands 2 plays very smoothly with the shader), but there is much room for improvement.

Also, the code is pretty ugly and undocumented and provided 'as-is'.

Anyhoo, have fun with it. ^.^

 

SweetFX 1.4 and RadeonPro still doesn't work with BF4 in DX11 for Windows 8.1.
You need the x64 .dlls which curently do not work with DX11.2.

Here is a download for 1.4 though if anyone needs it.

hmmm complicated all this.

Hopefully we will have working injectors for Win 8.1 and x64 soon.

Cant wait to add SMAA to BF4 !!

 

Thanks a lot for this! Playing around with new shaders is always nice.
I have to ask though, how can i change those values within the sweetfx settings?
Which lines do i need to add?

 

Np,

The quickest way is to paste the code snippet into SweetFX\Shaders\Custom.h and enabling (change 0 to 1) the custom shader in the SweetFX_settings.txt:

Code:

#define USE_CUSTOM        1 //[0 or 1] Custom : Write your own shader by editing custom.h, and then enable it here.

 

Hey, it's worked perfectly for me in battlefield 4 (win 8.1), but in no way I could make it work in COD Black ops 2.
Any idea?
Thank you.

 

Yea, that's what i did.
But i only can change the rgb values inside your shader, and not inside the sweetfx settings.

That's what i want to know

 

I think it's a DirectX 11 32 bit game, so you need the "eFX32.dll" (Battlefield 4 is a 64 bit game, that's why it required "eFX64.dll"). Rename it to "d3d11.dll" or "dxgi.dll" (not "d3d9.dll" as suggested, as your game doesn't seem to run on DirectX 9) and put it in the directory the game executable lies in. Should work then.

 

8 shaders stacked together if I read everything correctly. Looks cool. I don't know if it has any use outside emulation of old school systems but I thought it was nice to see how creative people can be with shaders

 

NEW SHADERS TO PLAY WITH!!!!

What does it do, K-putt tried it? screenies?

 

Hello again, I tried what you suggested but the results are not satisfactory.
Try what I try can not get it to work in COD Black ops 2.
PS: Assassin's creed 3 (win8.1) not working in any way sweetfx

 

Win 8.1 w/ the Radeon Pro / SweetFX 1.4 method works fine for me.

 

Ah, yeah. : D

It doesn't have any tweakable settings, sry about that.

 

K-putt

i'll be glad to c COD ghosts preset from u

maybe the technicolor too strength but i love the skies
