Thank you squarepusher and maister, for hammering out the shader framework that
|
||
|
|
made this possible and being so receptive to my feedback for Retroarch and the
|
||
|
|
libretro Cg shader spec. Thank you especially maister, for designing the sRGB
|
||
|
|
support with me and implementing all the code for both sRGB FBO's and mipmapped
|
||
|
|
FBO's in less time than it took me to add mipmapped LUT's alone!
|
||
|
|
|

I want to thank xythen and DOLLS for inspiring me with their early efforts:

I've never spoken with them, but I never would have thought to make this shader
|
||
|
|
if xythen hadn't gotten the ball rolling, or if DOLLS hadn't made his point
|
||
|
|
about just how far CRT emulation could go with his phosphor mask prototypes,
|
||
|
|
convergence error images, and barrel distortion code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I also want to thank hunterk for his excellent blog, especially this post:

Along with caligari's work, his PhosphorLUT shader provoked me to experiment
|
||
|
|
with game-style bloom as a way to reconcile shadow masks with full brightness.
|
||
|
|
Along with Pulp Fiction, he also gets credit for helping me name this shader. :D
|
||
|
|
|

|
Thank you Hyllian for your enthusiasm: It kept me focused on actually releasing
|
||
|
|
this shader instead of refining it in perpetuity!
|
||
|
|
|

Finally, I want to thank cgwg for everything he has done for CRT emulation:
|
||
|
|
He was the first to consider the effects of halation, and (in addition to
|
||
|
|
caligari?) he did the most research on the Gaussian properties of scanline
|
||
|
|
electron beams. His forum posts and links to academic research were very
|
||
|
|
helpful, and so were the few PM's we exchanged many months ago: I originally
|
||
|
|
meant to wet my feet by extending his shader with cylindrical curvature before
|
||
|
|
writing my own. I never managed to understand his curvature code (due to all of
|
||
|
|
the different algebraic/trigonometric stages being rolled into one), and I gave
|
||
|
|
up and started from scratch, but talking with him helped me piece together how
|
||
|
|
his spherical uv<=>xyz mapping worked mathematically. My own is subtly
|
||
|
|
different, but not on purpose. ;) A lot of the user parameters for geometry
|
||
|
|
were inspired by his own (including Euler angle tilt and a "view distance" for
|
||
|
|
controlling the field of view with a simplified near-plane). Last but not
|
||
|
|
least, my border dimming code was based more directly off of his: I did what I
|
||
|
|
could to write a fresh implementation of his algorithm with new features, but
|
||
|
|
the line between code and algorithm is pretty thin in that function, and it's
|
||
|
|
a testament to him coming up with such an elegant solution.
