DOF extra & ALF effect 3/13 2015

This post contains a variety of enbeffectprepass.fx for depth of field effect:

DoF:-------------GPmod & DSLR in one file.
SeperableHex:--performance friendly, only do hexagon, support both GPmod & DSLR.
BokehShape:---support custom aperture pattern.

Notes:
for DSLR mode:
To get the scale right, you need to set zF, zN manually inside prepass.fx
zF = [SkyrimPerfs.ini]- fBlockMaximumDistance / 100
zN = [Skyrim.ini]------- fNearDistance / 100

You can also set FOV according to focal length. Just open console (~), type "FOV <angle of view>"
check wiki page for angle of view table

Separable Hex:
update: 3/13 2015
It can only do hexagonal bokeh, controls are identical to DoF.
Should only cost minimum frame rate, but do expect artifacts on certain condition.

Custom Shaped Bokeh:
update: 7/10 2014

Image
To enable this, copy enbbokehmask.bmp to skyrim folder and use GUI to set Bokeh Shape = 5

Default DoF quality is 6
GUI options:
Mask Pos X: adjust mask position in X direction
Mask Pos Y: adjust mask position in Y direction
Mask Size: scale mask size

You can also create your own shape by making a enbbokehmask.bmp, the input shape should rotate 180 degree.
the resolution in game is (dof quality x 2) X (dof quality x 2), so for DoF quality = 6, the resolution is 12 x 12.

.rar contains enbeffectprepass.fx and 4 different mask as shown in above screenshots. Rename them to enbbokehmask.bmp to switch between shapes.

Wow great work! Concerning the ALF, I could maybe help. I got a similiar solution but yours looks smoother.

Re: enbeffectprepass.fx with some extra GUI

A very nice contribution to ENB community you have done here kingeric1992.
I really dig the bokeh effect options :)

The ALF also looks appealing, and like I actually want to use such an effect now, which would be a first actually :D

Re: enbeffectprepass.fx extra GUI & enblens.fx ALF effect

Thanks for replies, just add the enblens.fx file

most parameters are self explained, FlareCurve is to determine the length of the flare.

the only tricky part is the bright pass.
the light level is constantly changing, but the thresholds do not. Meaning that if I set the threshold base on some mid range fire, the effect will be too intense when I walk towards the light source.

I am thinking that a dynamic tone map that can shift upon overall brightness may help, but is it possible to achieve that in enblens.fx?

only possible in enbeffect.fx because you need adaptation texture for that, which contains the average screen brightness. So unless Boris makes that texture available or makes texDepth available (so you can base the effect strength on distance) in enblens.fx, you'll have to find another way around that. Tonemap to limit max intensities may still help though...

I personally don't like brightpass too much... I use a technique based on Photoshop's levels control for it, which suits me well... perhaps you can give that a try, here it is:

Code: Select all

//inBlack range 0.0 - 1.0, default 0.0
//inWhite range 0.0 - 1.0, default 1.0
//inGamma range 0.01 - 10.0, default 1.0
//outBlack range 0.0 - 1.0, default 0.0
//outWhite range 0.0 - 1.0, default 1.0

color.xyz 	= pow( max( color.xyz - inBlack , 0.0f ) / max( inWhite - inBlack, 0.0001f ), inGamma ) * max( outWhite - outBlack, 0.0001f ) + outBlack;

Love the DoF! Thanks for sharing! :) Poste a shot with it in the gallery. ;)

Re: enbeffectprepass.fx extra GUI & enblens.fx ALF effect

@prod80
Thanks for the code, though I haven't test it yet.

@Insomnia
Looks great, but what I really did is just adding more options for ingame adjustment.

Regarding the ALF, I tried to use this function to roughly get the average luminance

Code: Select all

float3 Lumi()
{
	float2 tex = 0;
	float3 DarkSample = 1;
	float3 BrightSample = 0;
	float3 AvgSample =0;
	
	for( int j = 0; j < 8; j++)
	{		
		for ( int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
		{			
			float3 ALFtemp = tex2D(SamplerBloom2, tex).rgb;
			BrightSample.xyz = max(ALFtemp, BrightSample);
			DarkSample.xyz = min(ALFtemp, DarkSample);
			AvgSample += ALFtemp;

			tex.x += 0.0625;
		}
		tex.y += 0.128;
	}	
	AvgSample /=125;
	
	float AvgLumi = dot(AvgSample, float3(0.212, 0.716, 0.072));
	float DarkLumi = dot(DarkSample, float3(0.212, 0.716, 0.072));
	float BrightLumi = dot(BrightSample, float3(0.212, 0.716, 0.072));
	
	return float3(DarkLumi, AvgLumi, BrightLumi);
}
It will cost some frames, but I am getting some promising result.
I'm still testing some math adapting this to the bright pass.

Ah ok. Looks great anyway. :)
I added some sharpening.

Re: enbeffectprepass.fx extra GUI & enblens.fx ALF effect

I don't know what your code looks like now, but I think I had to figure out something like your brightness threshold a while ago also.

If you do this:

Code: Select all

BrightnessThreshold = max(0.0f, (1.0f / max(0.0001f, (BrightnessThreshold * dot(ALFTexColor.rgb, float3(0.299f, 0.587f, 0.114f))))));
It will make your brightness threshold scale smoothly with brightness no matter the scene's light levels, but its sensitivity will still be configurable, high values = more sensitive to brightness/lower "threshold". The final value is between 0 and 1 always so you can flip it with 1-BrightnessThreshold if necessary. Then it might work well to use a pow() function with BrightnessThreshold as the exponent to apply/trigger your ALF somehow as that avoids harsh cutoffs and difficult configuration that you get with linear operations, but I dunno what your code is doing so I am not sure if/how that would work for you.

I am no expert, but I am not sure if you need to calculate the whole frame luminance ranges and averages for what you are doing, because the purpose of that would be that something is *always* triggering ALF, right? Is that really what you are after? They could be fed into a more complex tonemapping operator, but that is maybe overdoing it for ALF in ENB. Per-pixel brightness is good enough unless you want to be dynamically readjusting the threshold even for scenes that have nothing bright enough that they would realistically trigger a flare; at least that's how I see it but maybe I am off.

Edit: prod80's code does much the same thing as mine when all is said and done but with configurable cutoff points (however doesn't consider luma), missed that.

Re: enbeffectprepass.fx extra GUI & enblens.fx ALF effect

@Kermles
Thanks for the function, but I think the output does not always ranged from 0~1, not if the following is greater than 1.

Code: Select all

 max(0.0001f, (BrightnessThreshold * dot(ALFTexColor.rgb, float3(0.299f, 0.587f, 0.114f))

I suppose the concept is to make the threshold base on the luminance of current point. It will definitly more efficient than calculate the whole screen, but simple copy and paste does'n work, so I'm still trying to adapt the function.

The newest version of bright pass is this:

Code: Select all

float3 BrightPass(float2 tex, float FlareThreshhold)
{
	float3 c = tex2D(SamplerBloom2, tex).rgb;
	float lum = dot(c, float3(0.212, 0.716, 0.072));
	
	float MaxLumi = lerp(0, MaxLumi, lum), 1.2);
	//incase sample point didn't get the brightest spot
	
	float threshold =lerp(AvgLumi, MaxLumi, lerp(TempVaribale1, 1, FlareThreshhold));
	//dynamic threshold, constant ratio between AvgLumi and MaxLumi.  TempVaribale1 used to increace accuracy
	
	float lum2 = lerp( 0, lum, step(max(threshold, TempVaribale2), lum));
	//TempVaribale2 as Absolute threshold.

	return c*= lum2 / lum;
}
I use relative threshold so that the threshold will be at constant ratio between average and maximum luminance, and there is also a absolute threshold in case in a dark scene.

The things is that the average luminance is unstable depending on whether the bright spot is sampled or not, so the flare will flicker badly.
