Please show off what crt shaders can do!

That’s looking really sexy right there. I’m seeing a lot of updates and tweaks left and right around here, guess everyone is in a tweaking mood lol. Good stuff

These are very important consideration here. Good to see someone finally making viewing distance recommendations!

I’ve been spending some free time learning about parameters and their functions. Although I’m still “day one” in terms of skill and understanding I did manage to adjust the setting of Guest’s Advanced NTSC shader to make Resident Evil 3 look like I remember.

Some shaders unfortunately weren’t able to capture the look of Resident Evil 3 that I remember and the opening text is especially hard to look at sometimes.

Thanks to the work everyone has done here it inspired me to try adjusting parameters on my own and to learn how to these things work. I still don’t think it’s anywhere near as good as what I’ve seen others do here so if there’s anything that you think I should adjust from this screenshot to improve it I would love to hear your opinions and I’ll make the necessary changes.

You reminded me, more than a year ago, I made a gameplay of this game, I regret not saving this preset. I think is the Guest Advanced shader. I know that masks doesn’t look realistic, but overall image looks really good, and I love the way it looks. Shame I don’t have this setting. :disappointed_relieved:

I do remember this video. In fact I’m pretty sure we communicated in the comments although I was under a different username. It looked absolutely amazing when I watched it. I’ve been trying to use the opening title text and in-game text (as Jill narrates) to tweak the settings. I know a lot of members here use certain games like Street Fighter II as their go-to when making their settings and I do the same with Resident Evil 3. If RE3 looks good to my eyes then I save it as my core settings.

This is really good. No color bleeding, smooth text and no jagged edges. Mine isn’t there quite yet and it’s inspired me to keep working on it. I’m going to spend more time on it later today and this video is an excellent reference.

Don’t worry, once you start working on it, it will get better. If you check on my thread, my first snapshots look a bit off and blurry. Now they look more clean. But I’m always learning :sweat_smile:

Some more experiments with MASKS ONLY…:sweat_smile:

It would be nice to take clipping off, using Masks only :sweat_smile:

I love this new setting for 4K. What do you think?

Screenshots look great but you know there are always tradeoffs so in that regard it seems a bit bloomy but it’s not something that anyone will notice unless right up to the screen and looking for it.

I would assume that the preset would look and work great from near to medium distances but the trick is for it to also remain sharp at further distances for the folks with larger screens who sit further away.

That’s something that would have to be tested on a fullscreen setup, not necessarily on a lower resolution phone screen like the one I’m using now.

I like the brightness, saturation and smoothness of the edges though!
