Theme to demonstrate CRT shaders

[Luke_Nukem]

UPDATED: Split shaders in to own themes for easier viewing.

I ended up finally finishing off some other stuff I started years ago - namely, a small theme just to show videos using a few different types of CRT shaders.

You'll need to play around with things to get nice settings for yourself.

Change "movie" to "snap", or nothing will be seen...

Lol! It's been a while. I still have some 3 year old settings floating around.

Attached scaled photo of Lottes CRT shader - this is the better one, also used in flat_blue theme, but without the curvature or rounded corners.

Attached scaled photo of CGWG CRT shader - this is the "CRT" labelled one.

Attachment replaced in OG post. Also added to attractmode-extra, awaiting merge.

This is really nice, I'm planning to add some lotte shaders to my theme, for the "info" page where you can see a larger version of the game movie, adding this CRT effect would look great. I wish I had more time to dedicate to theme making, but real work needs to be done sometimes

I've added yet another shader to the collection, a Halation style one. Which is sort of the cgwg one with extra effects. It really requires an input of a previous frame, which I can't get from AM unless I dive in to the source further.

No new archive, you'll need to get it from the git.

Sounds like your theme will be good!

I'm playing with your CGWG shader implementation (that's much better than my own CRT shader of course) but is there a way to have a transparent background instead of black?

[Luke_Nukem]

I must not have noticed due to using a black background for testing. I'll see what I can come up with, ours probably missing the alpha channel.

[zpaolo11x]

probably missing the alpha channel.

Yes, indeed the last line of the fragment shader is:

gl_FragColor = vec4(mul_res*brightmult, 1.0);

so basically the alpha is disregarded.

I found how to do it: just change the last line of the fragment shader to:

  gl_FragColor = vec4(mul_res, cval);

instead of

  gl_FragColor = vec4(mul_res, 1.0);

Glad you found it yourself. Sorry I haven't had much time to update things yet.

You can also apply a similar modification to the Lotte shader, just replace the void function at the end with this:

Code: [Select]

void main(void)
{

#ifdef CURVATURE
    vec2 pos = radialDistortion(texCoord);//CURVATURE
    //FINAL//
    gl_FragColor.rgb = Tri(pos) * Mask(gl_FragCoord.xy) * vec3(corner(pos));
#else
    vec2 pos = gl_TexCoord[0].xy;
    gl_FragColor.rgb = Tri(pos) * Mask(gl_FragCoord.xy);
#endif

#ifdef YUV
    gl_FragColor.rgb = vec3(dot(YUVr,gl_FragColor.rgb), dot(YUVg,gl_FragColor.rgb), dot(YUVb,gl_FragColor.rgb));
    gl_FragColor.rgb = clamp(ToSrgb(gl_FragColor.rgb), 0.0, 1.0);
#endif
 
#ifdef GAMMA_CONTRAST_BOOST
    gl_FragColor.rgb=brightMult*pow(gl_FragColor.rgb,gammaBoost )-vec3(blackClip);
#endif

    gl_FragColor.a = corner(pos);

}

any one know how to add a line to make these shaders work with the Fade module
thanks.......
