CRT Monitor Generator is a professional compositing tool for Blender designed to recreate the aesthetic of vintage cathode-ray tube monitors. It features a robust node-based architecture that simulates phosphor grids, scanlines, and various signal degradations with high precision.
KEY FEATURES:
- 10 Professional Presets: From classic television looks to damaged signals and retro terminals.
- Advanced Phosphor Simulation: Control grid scale, sharpness, and emission brightness.
- Dynamic Scanlines: Adjustable density and sharpness for authentic retro vibes.
- Signal Processing: Integrated RGB Shift (chromatic aberration), Blur, and Hue/Saturation controls.
- Post-VFX Stack: Includes realistic Glow/Neon bleed, Vignette, and Lens Distortion.
- Compositor Integration: Automated node group creation for seamless workflow.
- Works in Real-time Compositor (Viewport) for instant feedback.
AVAILABLE PRESETS:
1. Classic CRT: The default balanced look for vintage screens.
2. Vertical Lines: Emphasizes vertical phosphor strips and glow.
3. Aberration: Heavy RGB shift and lens distortion for a "unstable" look.
4. Pixelated: Combines CRT texture with pixelation for a low-res aesthetic.
5. Terminal: Optimized for green-screen retro computer terminals.
6. Red Demon: A stylized high-contrast red monitor look.
7. White & Black: Classic monochromatic security monitor or old TV style.
8. Hyper Phosphor: High-density phosphor grid for a modern high-res CRT look.
9. Neon Bleed: Intense synthwave-style glow and color bleeding.
10. Broken Signal: Simulates a damaged monitor with heavy signal degradation.
