3D Unsharp Masking for Scene Coherent Enhancement - SIGGRAPH 2008

[Vincentgriezelig]

ah, we're going lost in words here. we do mean te same though.

djExprice asked if it could be done in a shader, like a vertex or fragment (or pixel) or geometry shader.

Shading as well as post processing nowadays is mostly done on the GPU, in a fragment shader. Doing this on the CPU is way too slow.

This looks like it would function as an amazing enhancement to current 3D games. Can this function as a shader?

[Vincentgriezelig]

this IS a shader, you gamerlamer

[AdeonC]

@Vincentgriezelig It's a post process effect.

[Vincentgriezelig]

@AdeonC ...which is almost a synonym for shader.

[AdeonC]

@Vincentgriezelig Shading is one of the first steps in rendering, usually applied on meshes. Post processing typically comes last (hence the term) and works onto the raw image resulted from all the previous steps. They aren't be synonyms.
