Image and video processing shaders for ReShade (convolutions, optical flow, etc.).

CShade

About

CShade is an HLSL shader collection for ReShade. CShade introduces conventional image and video processing effects from a different angle.

CShade also includes .fxh files that contain algorithms used in the collection.

Effects

Adaptive Exposure

CShade features an adaptive-exposure shader that uses hardware blending for temporal smoothing. The shader also features spot-metering, allowing users to expose their image depending on an area.

Image Processing

CShade features shaders that deal with getting information about an image.

• Census transformation
• Convolutions
• Chromaticity
• Edge-detection
• Grayscale

Video Processing

CShade features real-time motion estimation and feature-matching shaders.

• Hierarchal block-matching
• Lucas-Kanade optical flow
• Template-matching

Post Processing

CShade features shaders that filter images for aesthetics.

• Backbuffer blending
• Dual-Kawase bloom
• Film-grain
• Sharpening
• Vignetting

cshade's Issues

cOpticalFlow.fx instant ctd

Using latest version of reshade, start game or emulator bring up reshade UI and as soon as you click to enable cOpticalFlow.fx i get a instant crash to desktop with nothing in the log.

Folder structure issue

Since all shaders have been packed into cshade folder now, when downloading CShade effects through ReShade official installer, the effect files are placed under reshade-shaders/Shaders/CShade/cshade. It is okay for ReShade to load them with recursive searching, but I think this is kind of weird.

cCheckerBoard.fx help .

Hi could you please tell me what this shader does and how to activate it properly ? When I activate cCheckerBoard.fx everything becomes grey .
