CarlWAW Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I also switched off one after the next procedure in blurshader.frag. If gl_FragColor is empty, the screen is black. But if gl_FragColor is assigned a value and no other procedures are active, nevertheless AA is lost. To me it seems how the blur shader is called seems to create the problem with AA, not one of the procedures used within the shader.Maybe you could ask the GLSL guys what could be done to prevent losing AA when using blur shaders? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think few people know how to write good algorithm, but many are using and adapting largely available online code. This CoMiCraft mode was not intended. I was trying to merge some simple antialiasing with existing blur shader and You can see the results.Basically blur shader is enabled from CM code so we can put different GLSL code in him, but I don’t think Battlefront would be happy with that (@ RockinHarry has some good analysis about pixel shiftings etc. going with WM enabled). It was meant for post processing effects and for now we should stick with that or they can disable this in future updates Anyway, I made one version of FXAA antialialiasing shader working in CM.CM_simple_antialiasing_FXAA: CM_simple_antialiasing_FXAA.zip - just another antialiasing mode- pu it in "z" folder- replacing "War Movie" (Alt-M) mode- disable antialiasing in options, then try it with "Alt-M" With my currently limited knowledge about shaders programing I can't merge 2 shaders without strange effects. Its performance costly but probably it would be best to call this FXAA as a separate shader on top of everything. To have in "options" antialiasing "AA default" and "FXAA" for use with "War Movie" shader mode. But Battlefront programers know best how to put this working and what other problems this can bring. Little bit more about antialiasing:http://blog.codinghorror.com/fast-approximate-anti-aliasing-fxaa/ For those willing to play with shaders:https://www.shadertoy.com To much technical stuffs, let's go with CM beautiful screenshoots!

Reiter Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 ^ Glad you liked it.I am quite newbie with these shaders. Going to utilize them as much I can. BarbariCo, I am using Ati card as my signature says. Interested abut these bump Mapping things- is it for example, already in uploaded shaders or do I must download them separatically?Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaricCo Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 @Reiter Which version did you used? Blur shader only or blur plus bump mapping shaders (4 shaders in folder) and did you have shaders enabled in options? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massimoFGM Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I like this settings, which files do I need to achieve this effect ?(next post, sorry messed up with multiquote) Edited September 29, 2015 by massimoFGM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massimoFGM Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think I found my personal favourite settings. I think the tank's bright side and the parts in the shadows contrast perfectly with the green of the trees and the trees against the hazy sky, while the building's grey roof just has the correct brightness to shine through the trees. The feeling of depth is very good. OVerall the picture is pleasantly warm.Soldiers in the shadows are black, while the contrast with the white church is not hurting the eyes. Wall in the shadow shows a good amount of darkness.The different greens are good to feel, whithout the green color dominating the screen. Here I like the differences between being exposed to the sun, partial shadows and being fully in shadow. The green is vibrant enough to shine through the treetrunks, without dominating the screen. The green grass seems bright enough to clearly contrast any (moving) object on it. Objects on the hill seem three-dimensional and nicely contrasting, without aggressive contrast from the sky. I like the blending of the sky with the rapeseed and the contrasting of the trees. Also the shadow of the tree in the foreground looks great. And last but not least the previously used test scenes:Amazing how threedimensional and warm CM can look, like an excellent oil painting.The rapeseed is yellow enough and contrasting well with the green, the trees are beautifully dark green, throw dark shadows, with just enough to guesstimate details of the vehicle; the green of the grass shows partial dryness, the wheat looks dry and the soil behind the rear StuG looks freshly plowed and fertile and the sky's contrast and clouds look natural. previous post, this effect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaricCo Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Here's the shader for download. Enjoy. zBlurShader_v4_CarlWAW.rar@massimoFGM It's @CarlWAW version of the blur shader. We definitely need some sort of a list of all of the community shader versions (like @kevinkin mentioned). If other contrubitors agree I'll put all versions on my dropbox so forum members can browse everything if they click first link from the first post. Sometimes it's just necessary to edit that first post :). Luckily it is linked to folder not directly to the document. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bil Hardenberger Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I also prefer CarlWAW's shader as linked by BabaricCo.. I've been using it in CMBN and am very happy with it.

You are referring to the comment in the shader itself I take it? Yes in the early days of development when this was first introduced it was even more grayed out than the release version became, so I, as the biggest fan of this thing, asked for a little more color to be reintroduced. For my tastes, CarlWAW has hit the perfect balance with his shader.. it has slightly more color than the CM release shader, but also ramps up the contrast to a point where it is not overwhelming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't get used to the brightness but as showing off impressive graphics, I think the developers should include his shader work. A setting in the options menu to select among several shaders/looks would be very cool.But if only anti-aliasing would work!Bil, are the developers aware of BarbaricCo's interesting AA-shader experiment? There has to be a way to make AA work with the cool looks, too! Edited September 29, 2015 by CarlWAW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one version of a shaders in "z" folder at a time. I tweaked specific versions for different games but You can try CMBS version in CMRT and vice versa (or CMBN, CMFI etc.).War movie ADVANCED is visually totally different effect and I will update that soon.Can someone try it with CMSF or CMA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
