SweetFX Shader Suite release and discussion thread #2

Very nice Maken Thanks for your Binary Domain setting

 

Borderlands 2 SweetFX 2.0A FXAA

I know your all probably sick of BL2 but I would like some help with getting rid of the strong blue and maybe make it a black instead in the last 4 images.

SweetFX 2.0A FXAA Settings - very simple changes

#define USE_FXAA_ANTIALIASING 1 //[0 or 1] FXAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines using the FXAA technique. WIP - Currently only works in DX9 and you need to use the FXAA injector dlls.
#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         1 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively high performance cost)
#define USE_HDR           1 //[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_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.
#define USE_LIFTGAMMAGAIN 0 //[0 or 1] Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping)

#define USE_CARTOON       0 //[0 or 1] Cartoon : "Toon"s the image
#define USE_SEPIA         0 //[0 or 1] Sepia : Sepia tones the image.
#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_BORDER        0 //[0 or 1] Border : Makes the screenedge black as a workaround for the bright edge that forcing some AA modes sometimes causes.

Thanks.

 

everything except that hdr light sources seem to have a dimmed overlay :3eyes:

 

@ Gembel
No problem and thanks to you too, i hope you like.

@ RecluSe
Hi, no problem .
Greetings

 

Gembel

whats ur ACIII settings? seems good

=======

i have nightmare House 2 and many mods for Half Life 2
i hould put the sweetfx in the HL2 or the mod itself?

 

Heya guys!
I'm using Sweetfx with ENB for Skyrim, the SMA AA is turned on in sweetfx but I can't see it in the game, always when I turning the injector on and off I can see that the effects from sweetfx are working but the SMAA doesn't do any effects.
What I'm doing wrong, why SMAA doesn't work?
The AA in nvidia driver is turned off, in the game also, the ENB have not AA too.
Maybe my settings for SMAA are not correct, can anyone write hes settings for good quality SMAA AA?
Thanks!

 

Thanks kaicooper
Here ya go

why somebody does not do injector for OpenGL games?

 

Dunno, would be nice for RAGE though.

 

I'd pay good money to play Rage with SweetFX

 

Any plans on Tera support?

I've installed SweetFX but it doesn't take affect

Sorry, it does work. Operator error

 

because it's a lot more work to do an opengl injector

 

QeffectsGL is a shader injector for OpenGL.

It's the only I've been able to find.

It comes with it's own effects built into the injector dll, but is somewhat tricky to add new shaders for because you have to edit the C++ source code and recompile every time you want to make any changes to the GLSL shader.

This requires anyone who wants to make changes to the GLSL to know not just GLSL but also C++ and have a compiler environment setup correctly before they can start modding.

Any coders out there who wants to try and improve on this injector? - It's open-source.

Ninjafada - didn't I hear you say you wanted to try making an injector?
You meant a DirectX injector - but why not an OpenGL one instead?

 

gonna take a while before i be able to make what i want (i hope this year), i don't plan to make a opengl one sorry

did you try QeffectsGL with rage ?
i don't have it installed

 

it will dream come true if OpenLG games gonna work soon with sweetfx man
many games need to play with specially Amnesia and its scary great mods man

guys u sure sweetfx working with half life 2 and the mods like nightmare house 2 ?
i tried everything but whenver try to open the game it just crash from the beggening
and says HL2 stopped working

 

I can not get SweetFX to work with Dishonored....the game will not launch...any ideas ?
