INSTALLING RESHADE TO FIVEM

Using ReShade with FiveM (GTAV) requires a few extra steps and can be confusing if you've not done it before. We've created a video tutorial to walk you through the process and get you up and running in no time.

Parallax Depth of Field | Marty's Mods Guides Parallax-based depth of field that calculates blur through camera rotation and positioning.

Take a look at the guide. You likely have to adjust the interval and delay settings. They need tuning per game usually, and can take a little trial and error to find what works.

Completely rewritten, this shader now holds its own when you don't have access to Parallax DoF through the camera tools.

We'll have a more thorough breakdown soon. Expect to hear about the innovative way it deals with near blur handling, sprite rendering, and variable rate shading.

(2/2)

After our showcase of the upcoming Parallax DoF addon (bsky.app/profile/mart...), here's a little comparison between that and the new version of our Physical Depth of Field shader in the iMMERSE Pro pack.

(1/2)

So that gives you an idea of what Parallax DoF is doing. The sampling stuff is state of the art in an area that’s really complicated.

And you'll get to try it out soon(™)

Thanks to frame stacking you’ll be able to reliably render frames no matter the game.

With the accumulation controls there'll always be a combination that works to stop the camera spinning out of control.

We’ll have a guide on how to use these settings once the addon releases.

Next, with IGCSDoF sometimes it can be hard to get sharp focus despite the frame wait options.

There are two things in Parallax DoF that will help: the accumulation controls, and Lanczos resampling for sharper focus.

So I optimised it & used it to optimise a snapshot of the progressive pattern with the required amount of samples at runtime.

The 4th eg is what you get in the 3rd but optimised. It’s no longer progressive but that’s a tradeoff.

I found the best solutions available anywhere for both modes.

4. Sliced Optimal Transport Sampling

- Optimises a nonprogressive point set for better spacing and uniformity
- Takes a point set and wiggles it around to maximise spacing
- Problematic for runtime bc it’s slow (normally). Could be precomputed but that is expensive and unfeasible

(cont.)

3. Coulomb-Optimal Points

- My new progressive pattern (precomputed)
- It offers direct competition to Sobol, but is clearly much better

2. Sobol Sequence

This is a so-called quasirandom sequence, one of the best.

- Progressive, hence more grainy at 4096 samples (so requiring more time to resolve adequately)
- Normally state of the art for progressive patterns

I compared multiple methods at 4096 samples each, seen in the screenshot (left to right) below. Let’s go through each one.

1. Vogel Spiral

- Not progressive
- Mathematically nearly optimal for sample spacing
- But: has an evident structure that can look like moiré patterns

In addition to progressive rendering, bokeh disc sampling has been greatly improved.

You want samples that don’t have a dominant pattern, so it doesn’t create artifacts. But you also want uniform spacing between samples for faster convergence and better quality.

That is challenging.

One major new feature is the progressive rendering mode.

Instead of deciding on a fixed number of samples and hoping it’s enough, you can keep rendering until you’re happy with the quality.

And you can pause and resume rendering whenever you want.

We’re kicking off our Depth of Field previews with Parallax DoF, an addon made to work with camera tools from Otis_inf (@fransbouma.com)

So let’s dive in and see what’s going on under the hood.

Strap in! 🧵

#VirtualPhotography #ReShade

Keep an eye out in the next update for a rewrite of the iMMERSE Pro DoF shader too. It's the most advanced real time DoF so far, and will bridge that gap for when there are no camera tools available.

A screenshot from The Outer Worlds 2 showing a detail shot of knobs on a console. In the background, blurred heavily, is an assortment of other consoles.

COMING UP!

We'll be covering TWO imminent Depth of Field shaders, er, in depth!

The 1st we've already teased: an addon DoF that utilises the camera tools by @fransbouma.com; the 2nd is a rewrite of iMMERSE DoF, making it the most advanced of its type.

Keep watching!
