I don’t know if you noticed but a lot of people are definitely paying your shader presets mind, ever since the HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader project started gaining traction I’m literally seeing new users signing up here and going straight to that thread to give praise to the project and the shaders which I think is amazing, I think even my presets gained a little small fanbase lol.
So you’re basically saving your presets with the “simple preset” parameter turned on it sounds like, that’s pretty much how I do it with my presets as well. I try to update my presets the way guest updates his shader, only touch it if it’s something that really needs to be other than that don’t fix what ain’t broke. Some people still use your old presets cause there’s something about it they like I guess.
That’s cool that you have different shaders for different eras etc., my two presets are based off my own nostalgic reasons, I played all 8/16 bit systems on composite then soon as the 32 bit era came in I got a new tv and it was s video going forward up to the Dreamcast era, me lumping in handhelds into one of my presets was just me being a lazy ass lol.
I’m speaking this into existence now but I believe the guest shader along with our presets and everyone else that’s contributing here and there on different things will be part of the reason more and more new users will come here, it’s already happening now which is why you should do your best to keep your shaders up to date, our presets are gonna become somewhat like “advertisements” in the long run to attract new users lol
