Shader Information

Basic Information

This is essentially a more detailed explanation of the information found in "About" in the shader settings page

This is very outdated and unfinished, Imma fix that, promise.

Quality

The shader profiles have been set such that you get a decent performance to quality ratio, but there are some other ways. One of the best alternatives is to increase your max framerate value found in the video settings to anywhere above 80. This way you can turn up Temporal Accumulation in the shader settings and get much less of a blur effect, I have found that if you can get your frame rate above 80 and set Temporal Accumulation to 2-4 that works pretty well.
Setting Your Light Samples Variable in the Shader Settings to any multiple of 3 as of the most recent release of the shader will allow the it to clean up any explicitly traced lights by tracing to each one directly, rather than randomly sampling. This leads to nice even lighting for ELS.
