v4.0.0

New Shaders

For an album of comparisons using the new shader techniques please look here!

The following shader has been added:

• Difference Of Gaussians

• • This effect is useful for an immense amount of different visual effects such as general edge stylization as well as simulating several mediums like charcoal, oil, pastel, colored pencil, or cross hatching.

As usual for more information on what this effect does and how it works please refer to the user guide!

Updated Shaders

• Blend
• • You can now blend on to textures. Two textures have been provided for you, but you may add your own custom textures as well using the preprocessor definitions.

New Presets

Several new presets have been added to demonstrate the functionality of the new shader effect:

• AcerolaFX_Inio
• AcerolaFX_Draft
• AcerolaFX_Spine
• AcerolaFX_Hasaki

For an album of comparisons using these presets please look here.

New Textures

New with AcerolaFX 4.0.0 is texture blending options with the Blend and Difference Of Gaussians shaders. I have provided several textures for you to use:

• Watercolor Paper
• Paper
• Hatch Pattern 1
• Hatch Pattern 2
• Hatch Pattern 3

These textures are seamless and should work well for any and all resolutions. They can be found in the Textures folder.

Updated Presets

• The gameplay presets have been renamed for easier identification.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the bloom shader improperly using the alpha of the injected HDR buffer for UI masking instead of the ReShade back buffer resulting in the bloom shader not doing anything if it was used after some specific AcerolaFX shaders.

Important Notice!

With this new update and the introduction of dependent textures, the installation instructions have changed! Please refer to the installation guide for the new instructions.

Thanks for using my shaders!

As usual, please use the #AcerolaFX tag on any social media posts so I can see them!!
