I wish I had a Sony Trinitron, so I could copy the pattern as well. Sony trinitron looks gorgeous.

Yeah I’ve seen videos of them and they look so nice!

At the moment I’m really happy with my CX 4k OLED saved for it for a very long time but I use it all day and thankfully no burn in. The ability to change from Slot Mask to Aperture from Cyber and Sonkun makes it so flexible and sweet and convenient :heart_eyes:

It’s not hard to convert your presets to aperture grill from Slot Mask. They’ll look great either way.

Just set both Slot Mask Strength settings to 0 and you should be good to go.

What about deconvergence? Is it the same as well? And aperture grille uses mask 12 as well?

Yep, just make sure you look at the screen or some close-up photos to ensure that that’s what you want.

Once you’re done with that, Shadow Mask is just a couple steps away.

You would just have to play around with the Mask Shift/Stagger and Mask Size settings. I used Mask 6 for my recent Shadow Mask Presets. I also had some Shadow Mask Presets from a very long time ago which used Lottes Mask (Masks 1-4).

I encourage you to try all the Mask Shift/Stagger settings until you get the best one. It’s really not that hard.

Here are some examples:

I can tell you that based on this snarky remark and the attitude that you have shown in your own thread it has killed any interest I might have had in your shader. I see nothing special about it. A persons conduct in real life or online is important to me and because of this shameless attempt to promote your own shader in Cyber’s thread I hope that others will follow in ignoring your work.

Dropping “a bunch of stuff” on screen requires good knowledge of how glsl works, math knowledge, C knowledge, research about how a crt works etc, all in all certainly really good skills that you should prove you have first before making these statements :wink:

I’m loving your RGB presets Cyber, they add so much depth to the image :heart_eyes:

Still trying to learn about the Smooth-Sharp-Raw presets, gotta do some study in this thread, it’s really fun!

That CyberTron preset is fire though :skull:

Thanks, I appreciate the appreciation @Winter47th.

This is just some early nomenclature I used to differentiate between my presets.

Raw/Pure - No Scale FX, no MDAPT, No Smoothing/Anti-Aliasing of the graphics using special shaders.

Sharp - Slight Smoothing effect applied using Scale FX while keeping the original pixel art as intact as possible.

Smooth - Full Smoothing effect and Death To Pixels (pixelation aka jaggies). This looses some of the resemblance to the original artwork as viewed on a CRT and might have some distortion in text and some other elements due to the Anti-Aliasing algorithms.

You can get a summary of most of the relevant information in the thread by reading the first post.

I’m glad you’re having a good time. I wish I had more time to enjoy my work but I guess you all can enjoy it for me which will bring me another kind of joy.

Thanks, this means I’ve come full circle because I started off making Trinitron (Aperture Grill) style presets then just continued to build upon them, eventually experimenting with other types.

The patent has long since expired so why not call it CyberTron? Lol

Appreciate the explanations indeed!

I’ve found Smooth to work pretty well in Mark of the Wolves, especially looking at the character’s hair strands.

Left Sharp - Right Smooth

I know it’s subjective, but it’s the best it could look without destroying the original art imo.

Keep up the amazing work : P

Are these just to be different masks?

They’re my latest CyberLab Neo GX presets and they come in Shadow (Dot) Mask, Slot Mask and Aperture Grill (CyberTron) variations.

Absolutely amazing work, I’m quite impressed how good everything looks!

Thank you for constantly putting out gold Cyber!

I’m enjoying playing around with the settings, changing random stuff and learning what each setting does what.

I’ve noticed that the picture looks a bit dark in the CyberTron presets, and I’m doubting it could be because of the way the scanlines might be working to produce such a good picture. But I thought to ask if this is still the way it’s meant to look compared to the other 4k regular presets.

Also, since I’m on the topic of experimenting; I really like the way the scanlines look, and I want it to appear as full as possible on my TV. The way I enlarge the picture is via the 16:9/Full…etc Aspect Ratio setting, I choose full, would this be the best setting to enlarge the picture while keeping scanlines integrity?

Thank you so much : D

Sorry I wanted to edit my original post but I think the Edit button has a timer or something : P

Here’s an example, with Post CRT Brightness set to max (5.00/5.00), and the original without any edits, which is set to (2.08/5.00)

Wondering if this is the best way to simply increase the brightness without ruining the preset.
