Kadajah's VisualFX: Ultimate Visual FX System

Pixel-Perfect Juice. Cinematic Impact. Total Control.

Kadajah’s VisualFX (Platinum Edition) pushes RPG Maker MZ to its visual limits by combining the power of WebGL Shaders (PIXI.js) with high-performance CSS3 Animations.

This plugin is designed for "Juice", making your game feel alive, responsive, and unique. With over 60 distinct effects included out of the box, you can instantly transform a static map into a breathing world. From retro console emulations to psychological horror distortions, this engine handles it all without requiring external graphics libraries.

Important: This is a Hybrid Engine. It allows you to manipulate the game pixels (Shaders) and the game window itself (CSS) simultaneously. Apply a glitch effect to a specific NPC while the screen shakes violently, all with simple Plugin Commands.

Features: The Hybrid Engine

1. WebGL Shaders (Pixel Manipulation)

The plugin includes 30 Custom Shaders that alter how the game is rendered on the GPU.

• Targeting System: Unlike basic filter plugins, you can apply these shaders to the Screen (Global), the Player, or a specific Event.
• The Effect: Want a holographic quest giver? Apply the Hologram shader to Event ID 5. Want a corrupted enemy? Apply Glitch to it.
• Intensity Control: Adjust the Power of every shader dynamically (e.g., slowly increasing the Heat_Haze as the player gets closer to lava).

2. CSS FX (DOM/Canvas Animation)

The plugin includes 30 DOM Effects that manipulate the game canvas container.

• UI Interaction: These effects sit "above" the game loop, allowing for smooth interactions that typical RPG Maker eventing cannot handle.
• Kinetic Energy: Includes violent screen shakes (Earthquake), smooth camera tilts (Perspective_3D), and spinning transitions (Barrel_Roll).
• Overlays: Instantly summon weather (Matrix_Rain), cinematic borders (Cinema_Bars), or health warnings (Danger_Red) without using a single picture file.

3. One-Click Presets

Don't want to mix and match manually? The plugin comes with pre-configured "Combo" commands that apply both Shaders and CSS instantly to set a mood.

• Retro_Gameboy: Greenscale shader + Pixelation + Motion Blur.
• Horror_Panic: Noise Grain + Vignette + Heartbeat Pulse.
• Cyberpunk_City: Neon Edges + Matrix Rain Overlay.

Creative Gameplay Mechanics

Kadajah's VisualFX isn't just for looking pretty; it can drive gameplay mechanics:

1. Status Ailments: When a player is "Poisoned," apply the Pulse_Heartbeat CSS and Chromatic_Ab shader. The player will feel the status effect.
2. The "Lens" Item: Give the player an item that reveals secrets. When activated, enable Invert_Negative or Thermal_Vision to reveal hidden clues that are invisible in normal lighting.
3. Dynamic Cutscenes: Use Cinema_Bars and Blur_Focus during dialogue sequences to draw attention to the text and hide the background.
4. Impact Feedback: On a critical hit, trigger Shake_Earthquake (0.2 seconds) and Border_RGB_Spin to make the hit feel massive.
5. Low Health: Automatically trigger Danger_Red (pulsing red border) when HP is below 20%.

Compatibility

• Engine: RPG Maker MZ.
• Graphics: Requires a GPU capable of running WebGL shaders (standard on almost all modern computers).
• Performance: Applying shaders to single events (like NPCs) is extremely lightweight. Stacking multiple heavy shaders on the entire screen may impact performance on low-end laptops.
