SMAA/FXAA and HUD UI

2. SMAA/FXAA unavoidably distorting text (even with corner rounding=0) and UI elements due to edge softening.
1 + 2 = HUD mask support for SMAA and FXAA?
Can we? Can we? Can we pleeeeeezee! *offers donuts, beer, and a scantily clad viking shield maiden. Note, you'll be her bitch.*

Ohh, didn't know! Right, off to make one for Witcher 3 then. This way can use SMAA (which I think will be faster and better than W3's FXAA modified AA) without touching the excellent sharply defined fonts in the game.LuciferHawk wrote: The Mask shader + helper is already a general solution that should already include masking of SMAA/FXAA and any other effects. It was never meant to only help with DoF its just the most obvious one to see
One more thing tho -- so the mask bypasses all effects? Because sometimes you might want some effects to apply to the UI, say changes from DPX or other color filters. It's mainly things like DOF and SMAA/FXAA that UI needs to be exempt from.
