Unified Shader Package Preview

Added 2023-08-21 21:58:57 +0000 UTC

This is the final milestone for the core shaders of Silent Horizons 2. All shaders have now been unified into one group, which eleminates hard coded file groups and extremely long parameter lists. You can now easily go through the entire list and only expand the effect you're actually looking for. The new shader package includes the following:

Main effect shader

HDR color grading
AGIS (Apply Game ImageSpace)
Tonemapping or alternatively film emulation

Post pass shaders

Color grading suite
The most customizable LUT setup yet. No HLSL knowledge required to take full advantage of this. Normal LUTs, LUT atlases, DNI separation and even weather separation are supported
Improved version of my custom adaptive sharpening
Improved integration of both SMAA and FXAA shaders. Fully tweakable from within the GUI
GUI integration of my Blur Suite shader
Completely new high quality lens distortion and/or chromatic aberration
Completely new film grain emulation shader
And of course the return of old favourites like vignette, Monochroma and the infamous black bars with a few neat new tricks

Adaptation

My new modern and intuitive adaptation shader that was part of the old preview is included again as well.

Bloom

Completely new dynamic bloom shader and improved mixing for easier tweaking and superior quality. Fine tuned with improved upscaling to achieve the best results possible.
