Soft Memory

Recover what they took from us!

Miss those memories where things were more colorful, brigther and there were no problems?, well… I have studied hundreds and hundreds of nostalogic images and tried several patterns to create something that feels safe… something that can resemble a childhood memory! I trully recommend you to check the gallery and experience for your self!

This is an edit from Mellow Shader by The CMK. I challanged myself to edit it on an intel igpu and it had to run so I am sure that you can run the shader in any device. Special thanks to The CMK, you are the GOAT.

#Update 1.17!

The new version of Soft Memory brings more performance improvements as well as new additions and fine tuning on effects

Faster and more accurate fog!

Fog matches the sky color that is loaded at the moment! Also the timing is finnaly accurate so no longer sunset colors when it is still day! :)

Foggy morning valley

Fixed Fancy Clouds

Fancy clouds are the midterm on the cloud quality hierarchy and it they finnaly look normal!

Showcase on 2d clouds being fixed

Memorify!

New effect present on Soft Memory, it blurs the final image to trigger some sort of memory feeling! It is customizable at your liking and can be fully turned off :)

Childhood Summer mode :

How it looks like:Calm evening, the sun is setting, the lake is still. There are no worries, no problems, just like the time has stopped for a moment

This mode tries to resemble summer nostalogic memories. It hits its peak at sunrise and sunset. The combination of saturated and vibrant colors, bloom uneven grain and a tiny bit of color chanel splitting can bring what I call home.

VHS mode :

How it looks like:
