View source for BDOF (File Format)

'''BDOF''' ('''B'''inary '''D'''epth '''O'''f '''F'''ield) is a post-effect file in [[Mario Kart Wii]] that controls effects like focus, sharpness and blur in tracks. It is always seen in the "./posteffect" folder inside an [[U8 (File Format)|U8 file]].

There is unused code that allows the usage of a secondary BDOF file, named '''posteffect.bdof_demo'''. This one has the same format as a normal BDOF file, and it seems to be used only in the course introduction if present.
