A Vulkan post processing layer. Currently, the only effects are:
- Contrast Adaptive Sharpening
- Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing
- Enhanced Subpixel Morphological Anti-Aliasing
This one of my first projects ever. Look at the code at your own risk.
You need the Vulkan SDK to build this, and glslangValidator to compile the shader.
On Arch-based distributions, they can be installed with:
pacman -Syu glslang vulkan-headers vulkan-tools vulkan-validation-layers
On Fedora, they can be installed with:
sudo yum install vulkan-headers vulkan-tools vulkan-validation-layers
On Solus, they can be installed with:
sudo eopkg it vulkan-headers vulkan-tools vulkan-validation-layers
Simply use
make
make install
Enable the layer with the environment variable. Since vkBasalt 0.2.0 there is one unified variable for 64-bit and 32-bit games.
ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 yourgame
with Steam, edit your launch options, e.g.:
ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 %command%
Settings like the CAS sharpening strength can be changed in ~/.local/share/vkBasalt/vkBasalt.conf for all games.
If you want to make changes for one game only, you can create a file named vkBasalt.conf in the working directory of the game and change the value there.
