Argumentum ad populum...

But I give you that, I value a blurred but calm image over sharp edges, an opinion which differs from the majority and is maybe the reason why I value FXAA over SMAA. Yes, SMAA is practically a continued FXAA but at some costs. Both algorithms miss some edges the other gets. SMAA mostly determines edge directions so long, straight edges are better detected, where FXAA needs high local contrast to find them but text etc just stays sharp and unantialiased because SMAA doesn't find it because they don't contain long straight edges, something FXAA finds better (at the cost of blurring text etc).

About progress, I successfully have now all DOF and AO shaders together and they are much more optimized than before, some bugs fixed. Here's variable layout, as you can see, variables with capital letters are global DOF variables. This makes switching between DOF versions so much easier since only blurring algorithm and weighting change, focus area and blur radius are same. Matso DOF variables not included here since I didn't rename them yet.

Nice!

Please do not forget about lens flare and to apply blur to that shaders, CHAPMAN_LENS and LENZFLARE.

I'm so excited for this! Adding DoF and AO to older games has been a wonderful excuse to go back and revisit older games. Even newer releases like Metro 2033 Redux benefits greatly by adding something as simple as DoF and a little Film Grain. Thankful for your work and dedication.

Is already implemented. Lensflare masking is another thing I had to simplify for the benefit of performance. If I apply a mask before the blur, it gets blurred along with the flare itself. If I apply it after blur, all different flares get the same masking. I went for that latter option, hopefully this meets your expectations:

@robgrab: Thanks for your support, it really means much to me when people use and like my work. Hopefully MasterEffect (or another of my projects) gets as popular as SweetFX someday.

These settings will be included in the next ME release. You can't add it to the current one.

@Marty McFly i compare screenshots and i think that these values give slightly better results of DOF (less blury bokeh)

Okay, first off, I dont know exactly how the DoF gets its shape though code, but i have a few questions. So, would it be possible to change the angle of the hexagonal bokeh shape in the Magic DoF blur? I was wondering this, but i realize you said that the Magic DoF took a different approach by using a different style of sampling, which im guessing would have to be rewritten if you wanted another shape. I made a picture that shows what i am talking about. Please tell me if this is possible, or if the code would need to be rewritten just to get it to work

Here is an example of the rotated Hexagonal shape that i was talking about using the sampling example picture style you showed earlier.

Different shape in terms of octagonal or whatever is not possible but rotating the shape is possible, yeah.

So how would you rotate the Magic DoF shape a certain angle? Like my 30 degree pic

Also, I forgot to say thanks for your amazing work and effort for the ME effects

Here are a few screenshots with a custom dirt texture that I made:

Are you talking about Mastereffect, or that you want the lens dirt texture? Just making sure, so I don't seem self absorbed with a matter that isn't about me

How'd you get ReShade in the first place when it's also hosted only on mediafire?
