In person, "NES Composite 100" shader preset, near enough matches the image I have on my Trinitron. Not at a phosphor level (obviously), but at a general distance. I really hope that doesn't sound arrogant...but it's true. Colour saturation, fuzziness and blur. If you enable HDR, then the gamma/luminocity will match too.

This is SO REAL. I'm perplexed, it's the first video I see on composite direct capture where KZfaq on 1080p quality on my 1080p screen just looks straight up like a CRT being filmed properly. You're a freaking wizard, Harry, I mean, Retro Crisis! My only barely related nitpick is it being an Aperture Grille mask, not shadow or slot mask, it lacks a bit of the more popular masks blending effect, it's too orderly by the nature of the very mask. Wow, if you can do this composite effect and feel inclined to do so on another type of mask, please do. To give you an idea of how great I think your achievement is, I can easily show this video for people outside the CRT hobby and they too can be surprised of the faithful recreation, your sorcery.

The nice thing about the shader this preset is build on is you can swap the CRT Mask to a different style. I'm much more partial to Slot-Mask myself

I’ve been working on an NES composite to RGB AI model lately, so I’ve been looking at a fair bit lately. You might get something like what you see here if the TV has a really good comb filter, but having used some of the same games as this video, I would expect to see more color fringing, shimmer, and also there are some differences (positional jitter?) between the even and odd fields. Admittedly, this is based on my digital captures, so the appearance might be different on an actual CRT.

@overwatch761 2 күн бұрын

@@AquaticMammalOnBicycle You'd be surprised, I had a 21" Grundig and 14" Matsui CRTs back in the day, composite actually looked superb on both - zero fuzz with a really clean, natural, picture, RF signal was insanely good. Early 2000s CRTs dropped alot in quality as manufacturers started cutting corners to reduce costs.

appreciate your work and guest's work as well, just tried this today, really like the grid appearance versus other shaders with scanlines which i like but sometimes are a bit too pronounced, this gives a nice dithered appearance that is smooth on gradations in any direction, especially for logos which can be solid colours which i dont feel have "tracks" running through them as scanlines with this, they look smoothed in a perfectly CRT way, thanks for all your work again, appreciate you, cheers !! 😎😎💎💎

I have to tip my hat whenever I see the unique artifacts of the NES accurately recreated. I only wish the capture device had been able to secure a flat temporal 60fps. The dynamic components of the filter are kind of broken when the framerate isn't reliable. I do get that this is probably a PAL-vs.-NTSC concern and I shouldn't get hung up on it if I know that much.

I'm loving your shaders, especially the Mega Drive Clean, but I assume that they will look much better on 4K due to having more pixels to use for the pixel calculations. Could you please do a side-by-side comparison with closeups between the 1080p versions and the 4K versions? I'm thinking about buying a 4K portable monitor if those shaders really do look a lot better on 4K. Thanks!

Depends on how accurate you want things to be. One big part, for me at least, that requires some extra horsepower is being able to run the games in 120hz to enable Black Frame Insertion to combat the poor motion resolution of digital displays at 60hz.
