Premium Shaders
for a Realistic Visual Experience
Zenteon’s premium shaders are designed for players who want more than just great graphics—they want a truly immersive visual experience. With these shaders, you can enhance the lighting, depth, and atmosphere in your games, transforming your environment and adding realism without sacrificing performance.
Our shaders provide advanced lighting effects, dynamic indirect shadows, and refined visual clarity, bringing your game world to life. Whether you’re composing for virtual photography or exploring vast landscapes, Zenteon shaders give you the tools to experience your game with greater depth, mood, and realism.
Zenteon offers a variety of high-performance shaders to cater to different visual preferences and hardware setups:
-
Zenteon+: ZenRT
Our flagship global illumination shader, ZenRT brings screenspace ray tracing to your games, calculating realistic lighting interactions with no dedicated ray tracing hardware needed. It enhances your visuals with ambient occlusion, indirect lighting, and smooth indirect shadows, perfect for gamers who want to bring modern lighting effects into their games without requiring expensive hardware. ZenRT creates a more immersive experience by making light behave in a way that mirrors the real world.
-
Zenteon+: Radon
A bloom shader that simulates a hexagonal aperture, creating more defined light streaks compared to standard bloom. Radon includes chromatic aberration, a procedural lens dirt effect generated from hundreds of SDFs, and customizable bloom shaping. It works with SDR content, but also includes an HDR bypass option for REST compatibility.
-
Zenteon+: ZXpose
A film simulation shader designed for virtual photographers and digital artists. ZXpose recreates the look of film with path-traced halation, wave-based spectral shifts, and customizable film grain. Since it’s an offline shader, it renders out frames for higher-quality effects without real-time constraints.
-
Zenteon+: PT Fog
A real-time, path-traced volumetric fog shader that simulates light absorption and scattering to add depth and atmosphere. PT Fog handles occlusion to reduce light bleeding, with a filter to smooth out noise and flicker.
All of our shaders are built for performance without compromising quality. Each one integrates with games through with ReShade, offering flexible customization to fit your gameplay and artistic style. They’re complementary, so you can mix and match for a tailored experience.
