IMPERFECTER is a code plugin for Unreal Engine that extends the engine’s Post-Processing possibilities by providing a set of real-time modular Post-Process effects focused primarily on simulating various real-life camera imperfections.

Go-To plugin for every found-footage, bodycam, digicam style video game. It's ideal for adding that last bit of realism/believability to your projects.

The effects are made with global shaders that are inserted into the Unreal Engine’s rendering pipeline which allows for achieving more complex Post-Process effects that normally wouldn’t be possible with regular Post-Process materials.

Modularity of the effects allows for ease of use and more control over their behavior. Effects can be reordered and can be used multiple times.

List of all available IMPERFECTER Effects:

• Lens Distortion - Applies a barrel/pincushion lens distortion to the screen.
• Sharpen - Adds a sharpening effect to the screen.
• Overlay - Adds a gradient or an image on top of the screen.
• Soften - Adds a blur/softening effect to the screen.
• Chromatic Aberration - Adds a Chromatic Aberration/Lens Fringe effect to the screen.
• Compression Artifacts - Simulates the low-bitrate artifacts caused by lossy compression algorithms.

IMPERFECTER introduces a custom In-Editor window tab to make working with the plugin easy and convenient. On top of that, the configuration of the effects can be saved and loaded via preset asset files.

Applying the effects happens via level actors called "Imperfecter Instances" as well as utilizing the Imperfecter Subsystem for changing the effect's properties at runtime. The workflow is similar to working with Post Process Volumes. Simply add a new "Imperfecter Instance Actor" on the level and you're ready to start adding the effects.
