If anyone is curious what causes this, the game uses a 4x4 Bayer matrix to decide what pixels draw which creates a very visible gird pattern.

After the work on FF7 Rebirth, started experimenting with fixing dithered transparency on Monster Hunter Wilds as well. The game fades solid elements that block the camera with a dithered pattern that is very visible, but it leaves a clear pattern. Look at the vines by the feets.

@Railgun__Zero @mynameeeisdavid Something similar is already in the latest Luma git branch.

Small update for Shader Injector 3.0 for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Working with @Luma_izueh (huge thanks!) rendering has far less noise/dithering issues. Hair resolves more cleanly with TAA/DLSS, foliage/trees appear more solid [3.0 TAA | OG TAA | 3.0 TAA Off | OG TAA Off]

I think I will leave the modding scene within a few years. AI has absolutely ruined it from me.

I know, the world changes, it's fine. But I'll give you my reasons anyway:
- the amount of mods per day has grown exponentially, between the junk, enough are good, and your carefully crafted mods get buried under.
- code bases are growing into monsters, I get a PR every day to fix some stuff on Luma and it's 60000 lines of changes to fix a basic bug.
- it genuinely feel like I'm not much needed anymore. I used to be one of the few ones able to mod old games (HDR, ambient occlusion, DLSS). Now many can slop something in no time, even if it's nowhere as good, many won't know.
- code licenses are completely meaningless now. One guy came on our forum, presented a slop but functional mod, I asked to clean up a few small things before merging and instead of doing so he asked AI do re program the whole thing from scratch to not use my framework.
- making mods has become massively easier, and that's nice, but also the pleasure of gradually unravelling a picture as you reverse engineer a game is gone.

All these things paint a bleak picture.
There's gonna be enough tinkerers to make mods even without me probably, so, no loss.

@AL2009man @FilippoTarpini This is not really the issue we have with game mods. It's just that you might be working on a game and someone will release a good enough mod that sucks up all the space for the one you are working on.
