## Description

VHS Effect (Library)

This is a library to add my shader into your project.

How-To:

1. Create materials

First of all you need to create materials with shader "vhs" and/or "interlacing". You can tweak different settings (they will be hot updated in game once you hook up the effect)

2. Create Render Hook

Example:

using VanderCat.Vhs;
\[SceneCamera.AutomaticRenderHook\]
public partial class VhsCamera : RenderHook {
 VhsEffect \_vhsEffect = new("materials/vhs\_effect.vmat");
 public override void OnStage( SceneCamera target, Stage renderStage ) {
 if (renderStage != Stage.AfterPostProcess) return;
 \_vhsEffect.Blit();
 }
}

Note on noise:

it must be a texture with rgba channels filled with noise (or whatever you want really, feel free to experiment)

my texture was just a 256x256 image with Photoshop noise applied on it with gausian blur filter (1px)
