low reflection shaders
Quote from Aler1 :


low kinda no reflection shaders

How to get those colorless windows? Can't find them anywhere..
Was tinkering around with shaders and made something.
No SweetFX, ReShade or Post Processing filter so the shaders are very lightweight.

tutorial? I don't know how to get them to work, I already have reshade and I know how to access it ingame
Hello, here is my custom Live for Speed cartoon post-processing shader. It is very simple because I am a complete newbie in HLSL language. For best results, edit line 18 to match your preferred resolution:
float2 resolution = float2(2560.0, 1600.0);

Not suitable for VR.

I built a bit upon that cartoon shader
I found the contour convolution giving too much noise as usual when things move, so I found a way to add a 3x3 blur pass before the cartoon processing, so the rendering feels a bit smoother
I also boosted color saturation a bit
this is still very dirty code, dont laugh too much, I know almost nothing in glsl and this langage has so much constraints.

Still, this could be refined by adding a larger precomputed matrix to allow larger blur
also another blur pass might be good to smooth things out a bit more.

Thanks, looks better Smile I experimented with Gaussian kernel too, but tried 5x5 kernels and run out of instruction limit, so I left it Big grin There is only one thing, there are some "division by zero" warnings, during shader compilation.

Edit: looks like noise can be reduced using in-game texture filtering settings too
well, after some rest, I am not rly sure my thing actually does anything good
those zero divide errors maybe just make the shader bypass the blur and any better feeling is achieved with texture filtering settings

A different approach with post processed textures (.dds) and a contour filter would give better results

I dont rly like cartoon rendering, it reminds me old bad experiences at work as I have been working on some TV cartoon serie made in 3D with cartoon post processes, and that was a predicted total fail.
But I have a passion for post processing since forever, and noise as the primordial soup from wich harmony emerges.

I may have another try at it. sorry for the noise.
