Brilliant

Valve has really outdone themselves. Thank you so much for releasing this as open source.

Works great!

I'm getting some shader errors in the console, but everything still seems to work just fine.
The package is well documented and comes with a wealth of helpful tools/replacements.

I still can't believe Valve released this for free.

Awesome

The anti aliasing is unreal ...
Otherwise a little hard to understand what is going on.
All Post-effects do not work on this. Which is sad.
But I am confident this will be fixed in the future.
