Feature index

Rendering systems

Twelve systems replace the stock MMD lighting path, from shadow contact to the final grade.

Contact-hardening shadows

PCSS models the 0.53° solar disk across four cascades, with screen-space contact shadows for the last few centimetres.
Screen-space GI and reflections

SSGI and SSPT gather indirect bounces. SSR adds roughness-aware reflections with visibility maps that keep edges stable.
Horizon-based occlusion

GTAO and hybrid HBAO/SSDO use occlusion-aware bent normals, so contact shading stays readable on faces and cloth.
AgX and Khronos tonemapping

Blender 4.0 AgX, AgX Punchy, and Khronos PBR Neutral, with highlight roll-off that holds color instead of clipping to white.
Calibrated skin and UE5 SSS

A calibrated skin suite with dual-lobe specular, wrapped diffuse, backlit transmission, and UV-space diffusion.
Hair and hashed alpha

Marschner R and TRT highlights, energy-preserving GGX, and band-limited hashed alpha without fringe crawl.
Eyes and iris parallax

Convex corneal normals, Snell refraction parallax, and an analytical iris caustic for close-up shots.
Ten-domain shader pipeline

The Shader tree is split into ten domains, with dedicated PMX controllers for lighting, camera, bloom, and debug.
Temporal anti-aliasing

Catmull-Rom history, Karis luma weighting, variance clipping, and depth-validated reprojection.
CAS, bokeh, and halation

FidelityFX CAS, hexagonal bokeh with iris blades, Karis bloom, and spectral film halation.
Glass and dispersion

Physical RGB dispersion, tinted glass presets, and forced-transparency materials for windows and water.
Foliage and cloth

Two-sided wrapped transmission for leaves and paper, Charlie sheen for cloth, and vertex wind animation.
