This functionality broke at some point in the past without anyone noticing, resulting in most dropdowns that rely on this functionality being blank.
Fixes#1025
The rendering code here was one of the older code bases, which was riddled with bugs and leaks. The new code doesn't look pretty, but it works for the time being until a better solution is found or made. It should be able to handle HDR inputs now, but it may not be completely correct yet. This also fixes the double-free bug.
As an additional improvement, I've moved the allocation of the effect to a shared class which should reduce the memory usage slightly when multiple effects are in play. And now selecting nothing selects the filter target itself without infinitely adding references to the filter. Good enough in my eyes.
Fixes#819
While the previous approach of a static thread pool worked, it was sub-optimal in its resource usage. Many of the threads would never see a single task, and simply permanently sleep. This seems like a good idea, except that sleeping threads still end up in the scheduler, and thus waste a tiny amount of resources.
It is better to instead dynamically spawn threads when needed and only keeping the bare minimum around all the time. These dynamically spawned threads are also explicitly set to background priority which further reduces scheduling overhead. Finally optimizing the memory layout to prevent unwanted false sharing should also keep sporadic wake ups at a minimum.
This new model should be able to handle many more tasks than ever before, but is still not as optimal as it could be.
- Use auto in places where code clarity is improved or identical.
- Replace trivial constructors and destructors with default.
- Use true random for random generation.
- Use std::string_view where it is valid to do so.
- Apply const where it is valid to do so.
- Use references where it is valid to do so.
- Manually optimize memory usage with std::move and std::copy.
- Opt for memory efficient containers where the size is known ahead of time.

Improves cross-platform compatibility of Shaders written for StreamFX through the use of preprocessing to make things a bit more compatible. While we don't perform any proper parsing, this will be able to prevent basic issues.
Originally intended to be an experiment with no future, it turned out to be very popular with streamers that move a lot. In the end it was popular enough that NVIDIA added their own variant to their Broadcast software, which works decently enough. Unfortunately my wrapper code around the library was written very poorly, so it didn't take long for it to break out of nowhere.
'Perspective' and 'Orthographic' work great if you know what the parameters were to generate the exact object position, but what if you don't know them? That is where 'Corner Pin' comes in! With it you can specify the exact location of every corner down to the micro-pixel, instead of fiddling with parameters.
Fixes#565
As none of the known Upscaling algorithms handle Alpha, we need to manually restore and interpolate it properly. While this technically reduces visual quality slightly, the chances of this being noticed are slim to none considering that Upscaling is already a questionable solution to quality. Linear was picked here as it produces the best overall result for scaling, keeping gradients mostly in one piece. Mostly.
Fixes#646
As the Alpha channel is completely ignored and possibly destroyed by denoising algorithms, we should restore the Alpha channel manually. Linear interpolation was chosen here as it will behave like Point if the size matches, and properly interpolate if the size doesn't match.
Fixes: #646
The previous name was too strict on what could be put into the effect, and would result in additional clutter in the Filter menu when we eventually decide to support other Upscaling methods than Super-Resolution networks.
