User reviews

Would of been a great addon if only it worked, however, regardless of the strength, settings or page, nothing would change which is a shame. I hope you (the developper) can find a way to make it work again.

This extension is inspired us to create a thesis project, ARIS (Adaptive Rendering of Interfaces and Shades). It really helps us, thank you! Kudos to the developer, sir Hilbert! <3
