Completely rewritten, this shader now holds its own when you don't have access to Parallax DoF through the camera tools. We'll have a more thorough breakdown soon. Expect to hear about the innovative way it deals with near blur handling, sprite rendering, and variable rate shading. (2/2)

150

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

After our showcase of the upcoming Parallax DoF addon (bsky.app/profile/mart...), here's a little comparison between that and the new version of our Physical Depth of Field shader in the iMMERSE Pro pack. (1/2)

1110

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

So that gives you an idea of what Parallax DoF is doing. The sampling stuff is state of the art in an area that’s really complicated. And you'll get to try it out soon(™)

180

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Thanks to frame stacking you’ll be able to reliably render frames no matter the game. With the accumulation controls there'll always be a combination that works to stop the camera spinning out of control. We’ll have a guide on how to use these settings once the addon releases.

130

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Next, with IGCSDoF sometimes it can be hard to get sharp focus despite the frame wait options. There are two things in Parallax DoF that will help: the accumulation controls, and Lanczos resampling for sharper focus.

130

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

So I optimised it & used it to optimise a snapshot of the progressive pattern with the required amount of samples at runtime. The 4th eg is what you get in the 3rd but optimised. It’s no longer progressive but that’s a tradeoff. I found the best solutions available anywhere for both modes.

130

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

4. Sliced Optimal Transport Sampling - Optimises a nonprogressive point set for better spacing and uniformity - Takes a point set and wiggles it around to maximise spacing - Problematic for runtime bc it’s slow (normally). Could be precomputed but that is expensive and unfeasible (cont.)

130

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

3. Coulomb-Optimal Points - My new progressive pattern (precomputed) - It offers direct competition to Sobol, but is clearly much better

120

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

2. Sobol Sequence This is a so-called quasirandom sequence, one of the best. - Progressive, hence more grainy at 4096 samples (so requiring more time to resolve adequately) - Normally state of the art for progressive patterns

120

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

I compared multiple methods at 4096 samples each, seen in the screenshot (left to right) below. Let’s go through each one. 1. Vogel Spiral - Not progressive - Mathematically nearly optimal for sample spacing - But: has an evident structure that can look like moiré patterns

130

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

In addition to progressive rendering, bokeh disc sampling has been greatly improved. You want samples that don’t have a dominant pattern, so it doesn’t create artifacts. But you also want uniform spacing between samples for faster convergence and better quality. That is challenging.

130

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

One major new feature is the progressive rendering mode. Instead of deciding on a fixed number of samples and hoping it’s enough, you can keep rendering until you’re happy with the quality. And you can pause and resume rendering whenever you want.

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

We’re kicking off our Depth of Field previews with Parallax DoF, an addon made to work with camera tools from Otis_inf (@fransbouma.com) So let’s dive in and see what’s going on under the hood. Strap in! 🧵 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Keep an eye out in the next update for a rewrite of the iMMERSE Pro DoF shader too. It's the most advanced real time DoF so far, and will bridge that gap for when there are no camera tools available.

010

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

COMING UP! We'll be covering TWO imminent Depth of Field shaders, er, in depth! The 1st we've already teased: an addon DoF that utilises the camera tools by @fransbouma.com; the 2nd is a rewrite of iMMERSE DoF, making it the most advanced of its type. Keep watching! #VirtualPhotography

It requires Frans' camera tools, but it uses its own addon, so it doesn't require igcs_connector.

010

Marty's Mods @martysmods.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

The reason I made this into a separate addon is because I did extensive changes to your stuff that were really experimental and I didn't want to be responsible for screwing up your codebase 😅 Got some posts coming with info on what's new.

Hover over the red error and see what it says. It will give you hints about what's wrong. Sometimes you need to make sure you've included all the required files, other times you might just need a more up to date version of the shader or of ReShade, or it might not work under dx9.

A before picture from Cyberpunk 2077, showing 2 people in the distance who seem to be working in a kitchen. There's a round white neon sign in front of them. The picture isn't very well composed, and looks kind of flat.

The after picture of the previous one, this time it has been composed to focus more tightly on the people working in the kitchen, and the halo of the neon light forms a sort of frame around the entire image. Colours and contrast have been improved by using ReShade.

Soon™️ Eagle-eyed viewers may have seen a brief teaser for our upcoming IGCS-style DoF addon in the 2509 update video (youtu.be/afDOZ6rNqrk?...) Here are a couple of screenshots to whet your appetite 📸 #ReShade #VirtualPhotography

Screenshot from a video game showing an overhead view of some vibrant foliage. In the centre is an orange flower, and beneath it in the background is a lot of green foliage. The background/green foliage is out of focus and has bright bokeh discs dotted wherever there are highlights. The orange flower remains in sharp focus.

A screenshot from a video game showing a closeup of some foliage. The background is out of focus and has areas of bright bokeh discs. In the near foreground is a blade of grass, which is perfectly blurred. The transition between near blur, middle focus, and distance blur is smooth and pleasing.
