BB_BokehGenerator (Compatible with IFFS 2017.0.0 and up)

Procedural bokeh generator by Bayley (BB). No input required — connect a background for compositing. Generates cinematic lens bokeh with full shape control (polygon sides, rotation, aspect, edge softness, hollow, rim brightness), color and brightness variation, optical effects (chromatic aberration, diffraction spikes with blur and length control, lens blur), depth layering (near/far with parallax drift), spatial distribution, and time-driven animation (drift, flicker, fade). Blend Mode controls how bokeh composites over the background (Add, Screen, Normal, Multiply, Overlay). Animate Time Offset to drive all motion. GLSL 120 compatible. Multipass: Pass 1 renders bokeh, Pass 2 applies lens blur.

How to get help with this particular shader

Sadly, the custodians likely will not be able to explain to you how a shader works or debug its code, or fix it for you. That is the (volountary) role of the shader author.

If the shader does not work on your system or you have questions about it - read the shader description, and try to find the email address of the shader author. Contact them for any issues – letting them know whether you are on Mac or Linux, what version of IFFS you are running etc. will likely help. Be kind and respectful. If you can't get hold of the author - you can try asking in the Logik forum at logik.tv and ask whether anyone could help you debug a particular shader not working.
