3D Depth Map Based Stereoscopic Shader

Last time I downloaded there were only a handful of shaders available, and several I use all the time in FO4 were not available yet (ceejay's filmgrain, tonemap, and vibrance, which I use to give FO4 a faded grainy appearance.)

I downloaded an older, pre-packaged version which works, but I'd like to try the latest version and I'm not sure how to go about it. I know it requires ReShade 3.0 and I can't find any downloads for that ...

Can you help me?

• Added combo box variable display type (for selection of different options)
• Fixed display of integer variable under Direct3D 9
• Default settings are now loaded from a "Defaults.ini" file if it exists
• Added option to pass on all input instead of blocking it
• Changed variable filter box to always stay visible on top of the variable list
• Added log message when compiling effect files
• Added parser error if a variable is both "uniform" and "const"
• Added warning on implicit vector truncation in function calls
• Fixed missing error when encountering mistake while parsing annotations
• Fixed missing error messages after internal shader compilation failed
• Fixed effects not sharing samplers states under Direct3D 10 and 11 (causing available sampler slots to run out very fast)

EDIT: By the way, github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders was updated with a bunch of new shaders for 3.0, including bloom and lens flares, AmbientLight, Advanced CRT, various sharpening methods (including LumaSharpen) and more.

Will do as you advise and report back.

Morphed wrote: Thanks a lot for adding horizontal squash feature. It works great but I found 2 minor issues. It starts with default value of 0 so it looks broken and second one is that squashing is aligned to bottom so it leaves upper part of the screen black. I fixed that by changing line 93 to

float mid = pos*1000*pix.y/2;

I'm not sure if this is correct but it works for me

ui_min = 1; ui_max = 1.5;

Wonder why it Defaulted to 0

I even had

ui_min = 1; ui_max = 1.5;

The only method I've been able to think of is to change the HMD's resolution to 1080x1920, but that flips the screens orientation, then if we squished the horizontal rather than the vertical using Depth3D and duplicated, it'd remove the black bars... In theory. I've not had a chance to test this.

I'm very tired at the moment so I've not been able to think it completely through, but curious to hear your thoughts on a method to eliminate the black bars. Any ideas?

[strike]EDIT: So I just tested my idea and I've had another idea. Using Borderlands 2 as an example, when you change the resolution to 1080x1920 it auto rotates the screen, even after changing the rotation of the screen in the desktop display settings.
SO, can you add a rotation feature to Depth3D. If you can add that, we can pretty much eliminate the black bars and play games in full screen... Assuming I'm right that is... And I'm not entirely sure I am, but if what I'm picturing in my head is correct, it should work.
I know next to nothing on coding or programming (can you recommend a place for me to start learning so I can help contribute to Depth3D?(preferably video tutorials, I'm dyslexic so reading is going to take a lot longer)) but I assume from what I understand, that if you enabled a sort of soft rotation tool that didn't register with the monitor, it'd work well. Then it's just a case of bringing down the vertical size down from 1920 to a 1080 vertical space, center it, and finally duplicate the image as well.
I'm really hope I'm picturing this right in my head... But I now have a horrible feeling I'm not lol.[/strike]

EDIT 2: I've just realised that this would just result in black bars on the right and left... I'm trying to figure out a method of getting rid of the black bars but it's not easy...

EDIT 3: 1080x1080 while using OSVR Control for SBS would work I think. But then it wouldn't work with this program.
I can't think of a method to force a 960x1080 resolution without it changing the actual resolution of the HMD or rotating the image to vertical... Both of which would cancel out the ability for SBS.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to force a resolution without it effecting the actual resolution of the screen/HMD, so you can still duplicate the image using Depth3D?

Traditionally, VR applications have to draw geometry twice -- once for the left eye, and once for the right eye. Single Pass Stereo uses the new Simultaneous Multi-Projection architecture of NVIDIA Pascal-based GPUs to draw geometry only once, then simultaneously project both right-eye and left-eye views of the geometry. This allows developers to effectively double the geometric complexity of VR applications, increasing the richness and detail of their virtual world.

Crytek displayed this tech back when Crysis 2 came out and Nvidia pushing this tech with there new NVIDIA® VRWorks the call it Single Pass Stereo. I figured out how to do it in my Shader.

Let me Quote Nvidia

Anyways This is the Batman good news.
I will move my old shader in to Legacy. Posting the new one to GitHub soon.

Also on a side note I will be doing it on two passes..... For Reasons.

Also going to see how it can make the old one better.

Why don't you just rotate the screen? I'm having a hard time understanding. what you are trying to say. Draw me a picture?
