Alright so this is my second post ever and I really think that this is my new home. You guys have inspired me to revisit my old retro game library. I often use a scanline filter because it makes most games look way better. However, I recently came across this video:
https://youtu.be/nw2QfPREu-Q?t=600
It's a hexagonal filter and I want to try it out but I can't seem to find anything online. I keep searching for crt shader/filter and hexagon but I don't seem to find anything. I know a lot of crt televisions had square tessellation for their pixels, but some had hexagonal tilings. Can somebody here please help me find more information about this?

tldr Where can I find the specific hexagonal shader shown in the picture?

It's just crt royale with the slot mask and no scanline

look in your shader options for "dot mask". TVs had different layouts of the RGB phosphors, with common cheap TVs using the hexagon layout.

only high end CRTs (PVMs) used for medical equipment etc used the straight-in-a-line layout, which is why they are a meme.

This is /vr/. It's a slightly slower board. You can go half a day without getting a reply or needing to bump.

I never knew about this OP and I have been coming on here for so long. Pretty interesting but I can't really help you here. I'm surprised I only just now know about this myself.

I wonder if it works on sonic waterfalls.
I've been looking for a filter that makes them transparent.

your composite cord should do the trick on any free crt

Transparent or translucent? Because that waterfall is translucent, you can see the stuff behind it while still seeing the waterfall. If the waterfall were transparent you wouldn't see it at all.

I'm not one for filters, but this does have almost an antialiasing quality to it.

Looks like the shadow mask in my Panasonic Professional CRT bt1490y I believe.
