Hi guest,
tried the shader on Tekken3 and FF7 with different settings.
I wouldn't recommend it for FF7 as the 2D gets overdrawn too much.
But it's quite good looking in Tekken3 where it seems
more like a contrast enhancer.
It doesn't produce a 'real' comic look but it's a good start

By the way the shader is quite fast (Geforce 6800le).

le = loser edition: reccomend never buying a le card regardless of the chipset

My 6800le is quite nice, I knew what I bought with it.
Performance is on par with the 6800 standart

Use riva turner and try unlocking some pipes and that baby will really fly.

Some new cartoon shaders are in the shader download section.

I like the Class B Shader I.

Is it possible to combine this one with a median filter?

And, it seems it works best in low-x/low-y internal resolution-mode with fullscreen smoothing turned on.
Looks better thand high-x/high-y. How comes? Any solution?

Could be tried.
For example, take the c11,c10,c12,c01,c21 colors...then (as in the pseudo-median filter from Renee). Then you can re-calculate c11 (central color):

vec3 mx = max(max(c10,c12),max(c01,c21));
vec3 mn = min(min(c10,c12),min(c01,c21));
c11 = (c11+c10+c12+c01+c21-mx-mn)/3.0;

Edges stay the same...

...OTOH texture filters don't work right with low-low.
Let's assume, you play a 320x240 sprite game in 1280x960.
high-high: 320x240 -(like-point)-> 640x480 -(linear)->1280x960
low-low: 320x240 -(linear)-> 1280x960

In the first example, there will be less blur and more jaggies. Could look worse...
A similar thing happens with texture filters and 2xstreched textures. Doesen't look as good, IMHO, with cartoon shaders.
