Ever wished you had a professional camera operator to highlight and follow the action, ensuring the audience never misses a beat? Thanks to NVIDIA, you can now do this at home for free! The new NVIDIA AR SDK unlocks augmented reality features, including motion tracking for faces.
This allows me to provide you with an automated zoom and cropping solution for your video camera to transform your streams into a slick, polished broadcast, where you’ll always be the star of the show. Don’t forget - everything is customizable so the possibilities are endless. You can even recreate that Futurama squinting meme if you wanted to (with some scripting)!
The filter requires compatible Nvidia RTX hardware and the Nvidia AR SDK Runtime to be installed ahead of time. This filter is considered "stable" and shouldn't change much from version to version.
Due to the 'nvcuda' library being part of the driver, it falls in a clause of the GPL which allows us to load and interface with system drivers. Since we can't rely on Nvidias headers here (incompatible license), most of this was pulled from FFmpeg and other things were found out via testing.
CRT Curvature: Emulate an old CRT TVs curvature ...
CRT Scanlines: ... and emulate an old CRT TVs scanlines, rollbar and bleeding!
Hexagonize: Turn things into hexagons. You know, like the thing you see in my streams.
'Time.x' gets inaccurate if OBS Studio is running for more than two hours, therefore we have to do something to fix it. By allowing the shader code to control when things loop using 'Time.y' (0..1) and 'Time.z' (the number of times 'Time.y' wrapped back to 0), a much more stable animation can be achieved.
Color Shift: Uses HSL and some math to smoothly shift Hue Saturation and Lightness between A and B.
Luma Burn: "Burns" away the Luminosity of A to reveal the B side.
Pixelator: Classic/Retro pixelation effect often seen in older games to transition between settings.
These allow you to apply any kind of filtering to a any source, using just standard HLSL. Just like transitions, one extra parameter is set called 'InputA'.
Fixes#95
With this, the first proper shader effect is now possible. By using the four new automated shader parameters 'InputA', 'InputB', 'TransitionTime' and 'TransitionSize' you can write your own transition in HLSL.
Fixes#96
Due to render logic required for transitions, some of the render logic is split into an additional function called 'prepare_render'. Additionally the storage for some temporary objects has been removed as it these objects usually do not outlive their rendering time anyway.

This fixes#116 which was caused by a refactor in commit efb6b0b9be. This bug was left undiscovered until users started upgrading from the last stable version to the current pre-release.
These warnings usually come from the standard code in MSVC or system headers, over which we have absolutely no control. Keeping them enabled does not improve our code at all.
* Updated libOBS to v25.0.1
* Fixed a freeze exclusive to v25.x with Source Mirror.
* Fixed audio mirroring only working on every 2nd configuration update with Source Mirror.
* Fixed audio being mirrored out of order on highly parallel systems (>4 Threads).
* Fixed discoloration of sources in 3D Transform.
* Fixed ffmpeg encoder not falling back to software if scaling is detected.
For an unknown reason, OBS Studio v25.x now causes a freeze to happen at this location. This should hopefully work around that issue by ensuring that we are in a location that does not cause an unusual lock order.
On highly parallel systems (> 4 Threads) audio had a chance of being played back out of order, causing it to jitter. This queue should help eliminate the issue entirely.
Fixes#111
Previously a wrong blend state caused a slight discoloration on transparent sources, which was caused by assuming them to always be fully solid without transparency. By instead relying on OBS to do the rendering we do not have to deal with blend states as much and instead can simply enjoy the result.
Fixes#104
* Remove Minimum Bitrate as it is not supported by the encoder.
* Add several default states (-1 or Default) to options.
* Possibly fix bitrate lock with CQP and CQ mode.
* Fix log output for bitrate and B-Frames.
The new logic drastically simplifies Source Mirror and reduces the attack surface for bugs introduced by humans. Additionally the new layout detection should help with improved audio mirroring which hopefully will not crash libobs as often.
Fixes#61.
This thread pool can take large or small tasks and as such alleviates the burden of having a thread per source. Particularly for large setups, this drastically reduces the number of threads running in the background waiting for work.
Fixes support for OBS_SOURCE_CUSTOM_DRAW sources and refactors the class onto better isolated and wrapped classes to deal with specific tasks. This drastically improves stability without causing code complexity to increase, and makes the code vastly easier to read too.
