NVIDIA Ansel Post-FX Based on Stolen MasterEffect ReShade.fx Code?
Game modder Marty McFly Modding accused NVIDIA of stealing their post-processing shaders for Ansel without authorization or credit. Ansel, NVIDIA's pioneering "in-game photography" tech, which lets you take artistic stills (2D and VR) of your games, gives you additional post-processing tools, to let you enhance your shot. Some of these post-processing shaders, Marty McFly Modding alleges, was copied verbatim by the people behind NVIDIA Ansel, without even a third-party credit.
Marty McFly Modding stated on their Facebook page that "Its (Ansel's) custom.fx contains almost 1:1 the colormod pass with my original descriptions. Same for the other files, where many variable names, code, comments and defines match MasterEffect code, also my 1D gausian blur solution, 1:1, just DX11 ported. There may be even more Framework code in it, I just recognized my own code, there might be SweetFX/other code in it as well. While it's an honour to be apprechiated by such a big company, they could at least drop some credits like we do."
Some of the followers of Marty McFly Modding, commenting on the post, urged them to sue NVIDIA for IP violation, as the developer stated that the code has the corresponding headers clearing defining it as property of Marty McFly Modding. "Like another ReShade Framework contributor said, 'if we would do the same their legal army would crush down on us immediately.'"

If his software is under some more restrictive open source license, or was built upon previous open source software, it could put a dent in Ansel as it contaminants the code and potentially renders Ansel open source (depending on the license).
Nothing is funnier than when I see internet people rage against companies, . Also, they only stand accused at this point, nothing more. Let's not convict them until it is either proved or they admit it.
:) nothing like having an internet connection so you can Rant :)
Although im a fan of AMD, i like NV for their job well done.
But this is way too far now.
In a few weeks now this guy is gonna run out of money and shutdown bussiness for sure if he is not ready.
But if he has the proof to do it, he will kill NV big time.
You guys clearly don't know how shader programs work. They are very restrictive languages, often with pre-defined input and output format. When different parties implement common algorithms, many of which have known "best approaches", the results are obviously going to be almost identical. That includes the well-known Gaussian blur, which this moron (McFly) obviously didn't invent nor is able to spell correctly, which is already used in huge amounts of games and applications. This whole story is obviously just a "click-bait" since he knows most journalists and forum posters know little or nothing about shaders to be able to see through this bullshit.
Not cool bro, not cool!
Aside from the technical small potatoes, we have a modder or company called "Marty McFly Modding" suggesting someone else stole their original, protected idea. Again, I state a entity called Marty McFly Modding.
As I have always said, AMD makes fine cards at a reasonable price, NVIDIA makes fine cards that tend to be a bit higher performing and more efficient and include a price premium. We need both companies doing well for a consumer friendly market not the continual "AMD sucks" or "NVIDIA should die" ramble.
I think you can justify the $200 price over a pair of Ti's per the insane compute for OpenCL tasks.
You commentated about a " Ranter "
and i just added my 1 1/2 cents worth ( it was not worth the full 2 cents worth :)..... )
And that's more a generic statement, not necessarily a stab at my fellow UK TPU'er.
let me Attempt a Translation
" i am A fool so Nvidia stole the work of someone "
OP must Excuse me if that is wrong its a long time since i spoke 9 yr old
Typical..lol
You or a mod should lock thread now
