Download FXAA Post Process Injection Tool SVN101
Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/25/2012 09:30 AM | 7 comment(s) ]
Download FXAA Post Process Injection Tool revision SVN101 - This great and hady tool made by a group of Guru3D memmbers FXAA Post Process Injection injects different post processing methods to games, like Anti Aliasing, Sharpening, Bloom, Color Tones etc. More after the break.
FXAA Tool User Guide
Using the shaders is pretty straight forward. You can download it here.
- Place the FxaaTool folder anywhere you like.
- Start FXAA_Tool.exe and add the game exe's or bin's root folder on the tools game list. (if mygame.exe is located in C:\mygame, you just browse to C:\mygame and add that path)
- You can switch between games by selecting them on the list.
- Requirements:Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
- All junctions, symbolic links and user setting files are added and removed automatically.
- Note: If a dx9 or dx10/11 dll is found in the games directory, the tool will not add the game to it's list, neither will it create any links/files.
- If you wish to use the tool with such games, create a backup of those dll's before removing them and adding the game to the list.
- Important: Always take a backup of FXAA.s3db (your user settings) before updating to a new version of the tool.
Shaders included so far:
- FXAA - Anti Aliasing
- Pre Sharpen - Removes FXAA created blur on edges
- HDR - A HDR effect alike shader
- Bloom - Makes light texture colors bleed into the scenery
- Tonemap - Adjusts gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog
- Technicolor - A three-strip color process, like found on old movies
- Sepia - Adds Sepia tones to the scenery
- Anaglyph - For usage with Anaglyph 3D glasses
- Vignette - Adds a frame around the scenery
- Post Sharpen - Another way to Removes FXAA created blur on edges
- Final Limiter - Adds option to limit the color output
- Splitscreen - Adds splitscreen views, original vs shader
- Noise - Adds noise as dots and lines
- Radial - Adds from center drawn radial blurred lines
- ScanLines - Adds horizental lines

since the HG16 version is old and the SVN versions are the new ones that we should get, why bother uploading that old one? and it's the first link so most of the users just got the OLD version?!?!?!?

What would be better is to merge with SweetFX
Then you not only have the best of both worlds, you can also use it directly with Radeon Pro too (in the preview releases you can add it in and adjust all the settings for it.

Also the first thing that came to my mind, IMO the second image looks as though it's been over sharpened. Personal preference I guess, good to have this utility for older games.
Maybe it's just me but I think the original image looks much better. xD ...

I've tried SweetFX and the only fix I have used(liked), yet (I have not tried too much tweaking just enabled/disabled effects), is the lumasharpen effect... with moderation.
This tool seems to have a lot more shaders but I must agree that I like the unmodified image better. (maby there are better examples...)
I'm not saying this tool isn't useful, maby good for pimping older games! OR a VERY useful tool if you really know what you are doing/using a lot of time tweaking for perfection.
I feel I have to "warn" about the sometimes MASSIVE performance hit! (example with ME3/SweetFX, 4xMSAA 4xSGSSAA, 3x580SLI, VSYNC ON, using LUMASHARPEN, LIFTGAMMAGAIN, TONEMAP and VIBRANCE; SweetFX off 35%-45% GPU util, SweetFX on 43%-53% GPU util. It may not seem that much BUT if you are running a single GPU setup this may kill your 60FPS)
What I'm saying is this MAY cost more than it taste, If you don't know exactly what you are doing
