Place the shader files into your BepInEx/Plugins or Shader folder as instructed in the download package.
Think of them as a new set of high-tech brushes and paints for an artist. While the game comes with standard options, xukmi's "brushes" allow for microscopic detail, 3D texture, and special effects that the default tools simply cannot achieve. xukmi.shaders.fx
Perhaps the most transformative element of the xukmi shader set is its functionality. Unlike simple bump or normal mapping, which only simulate surface details through lighting tricks, displacement mapping actually modifies the mesh geometry. The guide on creating realistic "勒肉效果" (muscle / bulge effects) describes this clearly: "DisplaceTex其实是一种高度图（heightmap），通过平面上颜色明暗的变化，来控制模型的凹凸。与法线贴图（normalmap）不同的是，该功能会改变模型的外形，有点像blender的置换修改器".

The displacement mechanism operates on a grayscale principle: Perhaps the most transformative element of the xukmi
One of the most celebrated features of xukmi’s shader suite is the functionality. This powerful texture-based displacement mapping system enables creators to achieve realistic “勒肉效果” (skin indentation effects)—the visual illusion that tight clothing or accessories are pressing into the character’s skin.
