cursor skin fx

A collection of visual effects and custom cursors to make your mouse stand out during streams or recordings.

Built with LuaJIT 5.2 and FFI for high performance. Currently supports Windows only.

Installation

• Move the files to a permanent location, then select and add the .lua files to OBS Studio (Tools > Scripts).
• New entries will appear in the context menu of your sources.

Demo

demogh.mp4

• On-click shader - Shows up to 7 clicks simultaneously.
• Motion blur cursor - A new source that adds 360fps-like motion blur to the cursor. Locked to 60fps; requires Admin rights or running OBS on a second monitor (must not be minimized).
• Raster particles - A new source with 10k stateful unsorted particles. Originally developed for 2560x1440, but works on any 16:9 resolution.
• Ribbon trail - Adds a simple trail to help track your cursor. Use additive blending with this source!

Limitations

• Multi-monitor setups are currently not supported.

Roadmap

• Implement a way to capture the cursor texture (including wait, text, and other states).

Development

Run ~some/path/stylua.exe src/ from the current directory. Amalgamate separate Lua files into one for easier distribution.
