Xukmi shaders work seamlessly with KKUTS (Koikatsu Universal Transformation Shader), allowing for even more complex scene setups. How to Install and Use xukmi.shaders.fx
Start the game using the XXMI Launcher. Once the game is running, press the key (or whatever key you have configured) to open the ReShade overlay. Navigate to the Shaders tab, locate the xukmi shaders in the list, and enable the ones you wish to use. You can then adjust their parameters in real-time.

A common and impressive use of this technology is creating realistic "tight clothing" or "pressed flesh" effects, often referred to as the "勒肉效果" (muscle compression effect). By carefully designing a grayscale heightmap, modders can make it appear as though clothing straps or seams are physically pressing into the character's skin. The technical magic is driven by a few key parameters: Navigate to the Shaders tab, locate the xukmi
