[FO4/SSE] SMAA 1x for 0.288+

The edge detection is subtle if you have other AA method on.

Hi kingeric1992; thanks so much for putting this together! All your work here is appreciated.

One minor issue/question:

It seems I am getting slightly lower FPS with SMAA than with the game's TAA which is odd as I remember a significant FPS improvement over alternate methods in the old Skyrim. For the TAA test I completely removed the SMAA code inclusion altogether.

Game TAA - 40.1 FPS:

SMAA Ultra - 39.0 FPS:

SMAA Low - 39.1 FPS:

This is with the following settings:
#define SMAA_PRESET 4
#define SMAA_PREDICATION 0
#define SMAA_EDGE_MODE 0
#define SMAA_DEBUG 0

#define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.05
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 32
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 16
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 25


EDIT: What is very strange is if I change the above settings to this:

#define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.1
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 16
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 0
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 25

Keeping it on Ultra I actually get 38.9 FPS, slightly lower than with higher settings:

Maybe someone can help me. Is there any easy way to make it switchable (on/off) in the enbeffectpostpass.fx file ?

I've added it after the blur and sharp and before Post FX. Is this correct ? Maybe it shoul be implemented before blur, sharp passes ?

On/off switch via techniques.
Just took postpass the file from your nexus preset Tell me if its not working (tho it should)

Adyss -- You are my hero Many, many thanks for your help.

One question, shouldn't the "technique11 BlurSharp3 /// Post effects" be placed after SMAA, so Grain or Vignette wouldn't be taken into calculations? Maybe it doesn't metter.

EDIT -- Works like a charm, but in Technique menu I have one, named Passname0 and can't figure why.

Is there a way to have it just as a enable line?

[Adyss]

@rudy I could have sworn that i fixed that Passname0 issue... will look into it. Also i am not sure if it makes a diffrence if it passes before or after.

@fireman I suppose yes but i am too lazy to do so now. This way it works too. I might release my Postpass with all my reshade ports + that function here in the forum soon as i fixed and cleaned my code lol

Would be really great a postpass file with Reshade effects ported. Thanks in advance!

Adyss -- Thank you again Passname0 issue fixed.

One thing puzzles me. Is it normal, that when SMAA is enabled (no other AA is used in my examples) and DOF is enabled, some edges are not anti-aliased ?

No problem. I understand. Switching Techniques is fine.
