Sharpen, can it be modified?

[SCG_motoadve]

I like sharpen in a way that makes things more alive, less blurry, but adds a bit too much shimmering too.

So I end up turning it off.

It would be nice if we can modify the amount of sharpening.

 

Is it possible to modify this by changing the value in the file?

Look at landscape filtering, do you have it on and set to "sharp"?

 

I think it is like AF, and if I recall when they added that it really helped in the landscape shimmering.

 

I run mine set with Sharpen checked, and  Landscape Filtering set to "sharp". Also have 4x AA. I hardly see any shimmering.

You just game an idea and it worked.

Used Sharpen, and blurry on terrain.

 

Now is just how I like it, more lively without the terrain shimmering.

What do you mean used sharpen (I got that one) and blurry on terrain? Is there an option for 'blurry'? Never mind found it, gonna check this out myself now!   Damned shimmering!

Holy cow! I've been playing it as a total shimmer fest, and all along there was this option! Looks so much better I think I could drop PD down a bit! Any other tips? HDR?

 

Thanks alot!

Glad it worked for you, I too tested both blurry and sharpen and liked sharpen a little better.

I do not use HDR or SSAO, for me it looks better without it.

I would highly suggest to test this (its a Game changer and all squad uses it now), instal reshademe https://reshade.me and use these three filters without changing them at all.

 

Adaptive sharpen

Clarity

Luma sharpen

 

If you do it give me a feedback

Volker are you flying in VR?

AFAIK reshade has no effect on the VR HMD.

[56RAF_Roblex]

How much framerate drop does Reshade give you?  I have read that Clarity is one of the worse things for dropping framerate.  I only have a 1050 so I cannot use anything that takes too much out of the GPU.

"How much framerate drop does Reshade give you?"

 

about 1 to 2 fps with MY system ....oh and there s a tool inside reshade , that show you in real time if there ' s a fps cost or not and how much ...for each effect you use , it s not totally perfect it s approximative but a very usefull tool though .

 

I' m using lumasharpen +tone map +lift gamma gain + clarity .

 

CLARITY has absolutely no impact on framerate at least on MY system .

 

Adaptive sharpen on the contrary is a fps killer for ME  , again on MY system ...

 

and that' what it's look like :

Ops, my mistake, no vr for me.

No problem I thought that might be...

 

[SCG_Fenris_Wolf]

13Nrv, this is the VR section. Reshade doesn't work for VR.

[Wolf8312]

I found eventually I prefer landscape filter set to blurred. Sharp and sharpen have their benefits but to be honest I like a blurred effect in VR because it serves to hide textures that would otherwise be very exposed.
