What do you want to achieve?
R.E.P.O./LC’s screen effect, i feel like it is a smooth VHS effect with light pixilation, I’m not really sure and that is probably the main issue.

What is the issue?
I’m not really sure how to do that, and, if what i just described is really what the effect is. For reference:

What solutions have you tried so far?
I’ve looked for solutions on DH. They worked but i still didn’t feel like it was the effect I am trying to achieve, described above. I’ve adjusted the scripts but still didn’t find a really satisfying result.

none of these effects are supported but there are some hacks to achieve them

i think dithering (dots and pixelating) is 100% impossible

for color banding in the first image you can remove atmosphere and then mess around with the fog settings as described in this post

for glowing UI you can use a surfacegui with brightness and 0 lightinfluence, and then use a script with some math to move it in front of the player

then you can also rotate this ui + higher fov to get the outward facing distortion in the second image

if you make it really close to the camera then theres floating point errors which give it a flickery look

went ahead and made an example place, took a crack at it. was less scripting and moreso design. you can look at how i did everything here. it does need a finer pixelation effect though, but you can achieve that via better decals.

Oh i really like that! it’s not exactly what i’m really looking for, maybe something more slight and “”“poor quality”“” (it’s not really poor quality) but i’ll take that in consideration! Again, thank you so much!
