SweetFX - (InjectSMAA shader injector) Thread

Neil79 · 11 Oct 2012 at 14:37

Rather than create a separate post for every separate game, i'll post some screenies and settings for some of the current games that are tweaked to maximum effect

INFO

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 may have tried another shader injection mod before, like InjectFXAA, InjectSMAA or FXAAtool. SweetFX improves upon all of these.

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)

It can currently add:

* SMAA (anti-aliases the image using the SMAA technique )
* LumaSharpen (Sharpens the image, making details easier to see)
* Bloom (Makes strong lights bleed their light into their surroundings)
* HDR (mimics an HDR look)
* Technicolor (Makes the image look like it was processed using a three-strip Technicolor process )
* Tonemap (Light and color adjustments)
* Vibrance (Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation)
* Sepia (Sepia tones the image )
* Vignette (Adds a vignette that darkens the borders to the image )
* Dither (Dithers the image making it look like it was displayed on a monitor with more colors than actually present )

It works with all 32bit DirectX 9 , 10 and 11 games (and many applications).
It does NOT work with 64bit game executables - use the 32bit version of your game if it gives you a choice between 32 and 64bit.
It works with all graphics cards as long as they support at least shader model 3.
It should work on Windows 2000 and newer, both 32bit and 64bit. So far tested working on WinXP , Vista and Win7. Windows 8 is untested - please report your findings.
It may work on Linux using Wine - please report your findings.

Current version is 1.3

Version 1.3 is out.

Adds the Lift Gamma Gain shader which lets users adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights.
Adds the Curves shader which uses S-curves to adjust the contrast of the image
Adds the Splitscreen shader which makes it easier to do comparison screenshots and videos.
Reversed the DPX blend setting so smaller numbers now mean less effect and not more (it's more logical this way)
Better default DPX settings
More conservative default Vibrance settings (down from 0.20 to 0.15)
All settings in the settings file now have ranges. (preperations for an upcomming GUI)

More details after I update the front page and the nexus page.

I personally love the new Curves shader and the Lift Gamma Gain is also a really powerful tool.

Further updates from members with personal settings!

FURTHER INFO

a) You may need to turn off all AA/FXAA settings in game if it's not working!
b) To test if it's working or not, press SCROLL LOCK to compare on/off in game

Didn't notice any difference on the dishonored thread and I think the before shots look better on Hard Reset :x

Shamikebab · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:00

Seems to mostly just make the shadows darker and the lights brighter.

Looks good on the Hard Reset and Vampire shots but the Dishonored shots are pretty similar.

~>Dg<~ · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:03

tried on two games wouldnt work with it in main folder so deleted

'Wes · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:03

Same, didn't seem to do anything for Dishonored.

Neil79 · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:05

For those saying it didn't do anything for Dishonored it seems you haven't got it working or not tried it?

I noticed it straight away by pressing Scroll Lock

p.s Always Turn off AA in game for this to work...

ColdAsIce · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:10

Again Neil, maybe slightly sharper in the 2nd pic. Less of a haze effect. No jaggies on either. Also the plant texture looks horrific on both

Neil79 · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:13

Updated Torchlight 2.....

ColdasIce the plant texture is a game thing though

Try it in game!, don't like turn it off

Shamikebab · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:13

Slightly darker shadows, that seems to be it :/

Neil79 · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:16

and sharper..

Come on guys, get your eyes tested

The screenshots don't always do it justice, try it in game

Scroll lock on/off do a comparison

ColdAsIce · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:18

I know the texture is game related Neil

You must be overly sensitive if you can see a massive difference between the two shots

Woden · 11 Oct 2012 at 15:18

Yea, that weed bush looks like its made of lego :|

Torchlight look a little better, except for the UI. Vampire looks a fair bit better but hard reset a little worse. I guess you would have to experiment with each game to get the best effects, but this *is* OcUK, I think most of us are happy with that.

How much damage does this do performance wise?

Contrast and Sharpness wise yes

As for Dishonoured in game, it does need improving still regarding sharpness but that's still being tweaked

Woden said:

Hardly any

neoglow · 11 Oct 2012 at 17:28

Apparently Borderlands 2 looks even better with an AA injector. Not sure if it is SweetFX though.

EDIT: Found it - http://www.dayonepatch.com/index.php?/topic/65536-borderlands-2-turn-off-fxaa-in-game-enable-smaa/

Its the SMAA Injector that is included in SweetFX.

InjectSMAA just deals with AA.

SweetFX deals with AA using InjectSMAA and other features like colour etc.

Neil79 · 11 Oct 2012 at 21:11

Well my last gifs got nuked for being too big so I've done some more with my new updated personal settings for sweetfx. If anyone wants it let me know and I'll put it up!

Can't say i see any differences really

Troll

Shamikebab · 11 Oct 2012 at 21:56

Those look much better than your shot

Neil79 · 11 Oct 2012 at 22:08

Na i can just see better
