Default Sweet FX for Sh5

What is it?
So in case you're new to SweetFX Shader Suite (or just SweetFX), it's a mod built on the InjectSMAA shader injector, that allows you to apply a suite of post processing shader effects to your games.


You can add SMAA anti-aliasing , sharpening and tweak the color, gamma , exposure and more.
It's meant to allow you to improve the look of your games and change the look and mood of it to your liking.
If you use SMAA antialiasing instead of MSAA or an even more expensive antialaliasing technique you can also make the game run faster (than with MSAA)

Effects included:
  • SMAA Anti-aliasing : Anti-aliases the image using the SMAA technique - see http://www.iryoku.com/smaa/
  • Cartoon : Creates an outline-effect that makes the image look more cartoonish.
  • Advanced CRT : Mimics the look of an old arcade CRT display.
  • LumaSharpen : Sharpens the image, making details easier to see
  • Bloom : Makes strong lights bleed their light into their surroundings
  • HDR : Mimics an HDR tonemapped look
  • Technicolor : Makes the image look like it was processed using a three-strip Technicolor process - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technicolor
  • Cineon DPX : Makes the image look like it was converted from film to Cineon DPX. Can be used to create a "sunny" look.
  • Monochrome : Removes colors from the image so it appears as if shot on black and white film.
  • Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping)
  • Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping)
  • Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation.
  • Curves : Contrast adjustments using S-curves.
  • Sepia : Sepia tones the image - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepia_tone#Sepia_toning
  • Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot with a camera lens. - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vignetting )
  • Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditheri...age_processing )
  • Border : Makes the screenedge black as a workaround for the bright edge that forcing some AA modes sometimes causes.
  • Splitscreen : Enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.

If I remember correctly, similar eye candies in DCS could prevent alt-tabbing of the game. Does this apply to SH5 too?

If need be, we can always rely on DynEnv Brighter Nights and Rubini's Moon light mod

Looks perfect to me.

Do you plan sharing your Sweet configuration files with the family?
I like KriegsmarineHunter's SH5 version of ENB too, but the UI getting blurred makes it useless for ordinary game-play...

tested with TWoS, Sober mod list with my MagUI mod list Sweet FX work very well but there is only 1 problem... doesn't work with the Antilag d3d9.dll so players must decide themselves what to use antilag or Sweet FX......
i can release this sweet fx version for SH5 any time it's up to the community if they want to use it so i am w8-ing for your opinions.

thx
have a nice day
