Recommendation

The shaders looks better when they are combined!

Example :

This scene uses the following combination : Lens Distortion + Grain + TV

And this scene use this combination : Lens Distortion + Sharpness + NTSC

  • Tip 1 : Sharpness is a must have if using any of the TV, VHS or the NTSC shaders for achieving a more realistic retro effect!

  • Tip 2 : Lens Distortion and high FOV combined can give a MTV 2000 blumbers aesthetics if used correctly!

  • Tip 3 : Be careful with Grain! It can get really messy really easily!

  • Tip 4 : All of the shaders can go beyond their default range values, just open the shader code and just the numbers inside the hint_range() function in the variables section.

  • Tip 5 : ALWAYS check the headers inside the shaders you are using, there's information about compatibility, credits and licesing in there!

Installation

To use the shaders you got to :

  1. Copy the GodotRetro folder to your project (can be anywhere)

For normal shader :

  1. Just add the shader to a ShaderMaterial.

For screen space shaders :

  1. Create a ColorRect and make it a FullRect in the Layout options

  2. Assign the shader of preference to a ShaderMaterial in the used ColorRect.

Example :

example

Done! Have fun!

DISCLAMER :

  • To use 2+ shaders at the same time, you need to use a BackBufferCopy set as a Viewport for each effect.

  • For UI, be sure to set it above the shaders in the node hierarchy for them to be affected for more imersion.

Examples

5 free and easy to learn examples are available with the pack.
