[library] shine - post processing effects for everyone

[vrld]

Shine is a postprocessing effect repository for LÖVE.

Have you ever been in this situation? You have created the best game ever (really this time), but you feel that there is something missing? The graphics are just too sharp, too saturated, too dull, too ... boring? You have seen all these awesome demos in this thread but just cant wrap your head around shaders?

shine to the rescue!

shine is a repository of easy to use postprocessing effects for LÖVE. All it takes are three lines of code:

Code: Select all

local shine = require 'shine'
blur = shine.boxblur()
blur(function() draw_my_stuff() end)

You can personalize your effects by just setting a value!

Code: Select all

blur.radius = 3

You can also chain multiple effects for maximum ... effect

Code: Select all

hipster = desaturate:chain(grain):chain(vignette)

The code is hosted on github as is the documentation.

Demo .love coming soon(ish).
EDIT:
As promised: A demo! It shows all currently implemented effects (click on "Effect" to open a list of effects). You can play around with the parameters to see how they affect the effect. Have fun!

EDIT2:
New demo: glow, adjustable grainsize in filmgrain and second image

Simply amazing, well done!

I'm looking forward to trying it out

I'll definitely have a look! Nice work!

That is outstanding. It sould like a good candidate for Hump, to me.

Glad you like it!

It sould like a good candidate for Hump, to me.

I'd like to keep the projects separated - hump is much more mature than the infantile shine. I'd also like to make this sort of a collaborative project, where everyone who wants can join in and add new shaders - hence the (as of now defunct) section "How to add your effect to the repository" in the wiki.

I made a pull request where I included a small change to this shader. Can you give it a shot and see if it works for you ?

[vrld]

Updated the demo. Does it work now?
