#StreamFX
I've had people ask me what I use for my streams to do some of the wacky stuff I do with like DS layouts. I use StreamFX for like 90% of my stuff. It's honestly really good and I recommend it. It is a pateron thing share.google/CwHDYrAdKMaX... but I still recommend it highly

Anyone know a good StreamFX alternative since they seemingly intend on using AI soon despite literally nobody fucking liking that shit?

I usually hesitate to press the update button on OBS because there's always a chance something critical will break. I finally bit the bullet after last stream and sure enough it was StreamFX. I'd been dreading this day.

Yeah I hate StreamFX and I may just gt rid of it since this is like the only thing I use it for.

I'm wondering if what happened is they put people's free stuff into their paid software and had to remove it. I was reading on the OBS forums and old versions say they violate GPL License c.c

So I finally got around to trying to use this and unfortunately it doesn't work because I got the plugin wrong :(

The one I am using for it was StreamFX, cause it can make a shader as a source. RIP Thank you for trying to help though!!!

Oooh okay nice! Thank you! And actually I think the thing I was using that was .effect files was actually streamfx haha. I have both of them I guess??

If you want to try something fun with your vtuber model, I HIGHLY recommend @paeshun.bsky.social 's tutorial on adding Dynamic Lighting through OBS, my stream today looked so good with the lighting on my model!

Ugh... fucking hate zhis.

So. Wanted to add an extra improvement to zhe Vtubing. Namely: Dynamic Lighting Effects>

However. When trying to find zhe plugins needed (StreamFX to be precise), I find out it's not only locked behind a Patreon. You also need to join a discord server to get it.

FUCK OFF

I can’t believe what I have just found out tonight, all my perceptions of stream quality have been shuffled and I will never understand how or why what I have found out works. All I can say is streamfx is essentially dead to me at this point as the stream quality I was able to achieve is incredible

Since StreamFX is now a paid plugin for OBS, I'm simply using x264 recording settings found in the following link: www.xaymar.com/guides/obs/h...

Generally, anything above High Quality results in ridiculous file size but a CRF of 13 produces a suitable "raw" file with a bitrate of 200mbps.
High Quality Recording (in OBS Studio) with H.264/AVC
The H.264/AVC codec is one of the oldest, and yet still one of the most versatile codecs out there. It is (relatively) simple to encode and decode, supports a variety of chroma subsampling and bit dep...

新しめのバージョンではStreamFXを削除か更新しろって警告が出ます……でもこれ消したらだめなやつでは……?
安定とされているバージョンにダウングレードすると今度はセーフモードでしか起動できなくなって、これは何が原因がまだ分からないです……ワーン

Pspspspspspsps here's this vid I was talking about, you should go check it out cause it's super easy to follow and trims a lot of the fat other tutorials tend to have

The biggest issue with finding the problem. It just freezes and stops responding. I’ve somehow managed to updated OBS, StreamFX, and StreamElements, but I’m lost on how to pinpoint the problem.
January 5, 2025 at 5:04 AM
Wait, been out of the game for a bit and coming back to things. Is StreamFX paid now?????
January 4, 2025 at 7:33 PM
No, I never used the 3d transform in streamFX, but I was interested in it. Problem is I never updated my stream theme, and now I know it was probably ADD increasing my procrastination tenfold and preventing me from making anything.
January 3, 2025 at 12:33 AM
In 2025 I noticed I hadn't used anything from streamFX in a while AFTER installing an old version compatible with current OBS.

Guess I'm free from trying to use it ever again.
Also it seems there's another 3d transform plugin, gotta check that.
January 3, 2025 at 12:33 AM
I done did it (and it is better than the old streamFX one)

streamfx hack broke so I'm just gonna program my own sine wave shader :^)
March 14, 2026 at 7:36 AM
This is incredible data because I’d really really like to install the version before streamfx broke :3c
October 3, 2025 at 8:04 PM
also I wanna shout out @craftykaname.bsky.social for helping me out with getting streamFX working again!!! The scene rebuild is slow but steady!!
July 30, 2025 at 8:58 AM
StreamFX shaders aren't supported anymore so I'm writing my own wobble shader :) I must have sources that go up and down!
July 30, 2025 at 8:55 AM
I finally uploaded OBS past 27.0 and a nice retroactive fuck you to the dev making StreamFX a monthly subscription thing. If you wanna charge a 1 time thing, cool, but if you think I'm gonna pay every month to tint sources different colors you can actually suck my dick
