Its possible to add support to CMAA?(Intel)

Was looking for anti-aliasing techniques, and found that,one called CMAA, the the quality is close to MSAA 4x with the perfomance lower of MSAA 2x, I even downloaded Intel's source code, there was a file called CMAA.h, similar to Reshade files, , but i dont know much about programming, but it seems to be easy to include this effect in Reshade.

There is updated version, would be nice if someone will port it to reshade

Judging from the file, it need RWtexture2d for UAV (unordered access view) mapping in pixel shader and currently it is not provided in reshade.

There might be some workaround with multiple render target, but such adaption will require some deeper look.

Up (for ReShade 3.0)!

github.com/justinow/CMAA_Reshade_3 found this, but im getting errors!

error X3548: in ps_3_0 uints can only be used with known-positive values, use int if possible

Whoever ported this is a tiny bit crazy:

So to spare one simple ASM instruction that maybe costs a single nanosecond or whatever - he goes ahead and sets up an insanely large array of data. This won't work in DX9 at all and the amount of constant registers used are larger than anything I've seen before.

Well, on the CPU that would likely be a lot faster. But as you said, on GPUs not, they are architectured very differently. It's a common mistake that developers new to GPU programming simply apply their CPU knowledge in the same way.

I tested this CMAA shader. Though I got it in the Lstar curve mode so it changed brightness overall. I had hard time judge it but overall still prefer the stock SMAA that is in the stock shader pack. I mostly had hope that do a better job on stuff moving or while you self is moving. I really hope that in future there will be shader handling that kind of aliasing. Downsampling helps a lot but my current GPU doesn't have the muscle for that. Guess 4k will help too.
