Real Life Reshade
A Reshade that acts like a texture mod
I've made a Reshade that adds more detail to the world making them wood effects stand out more as well as the ground, lighting, walls, vehicle textures and dirt marks, and skin. It also adds a bit more darkness to shadowed areas making it feel more realistic.


First thing: Download RESHADE

When installing the program you need to find the game's .exe that you're going to be using it with. Once you have found it in the games files you then click either dx9 or dx10/11/12 depending on the game itself.

Then you will have a selection of choices for effects to have in game... I always choose:

  • QUINT by Marty Mcfly ,
  • SWEET FX by CeeJayand
  • Legacy Standard Effects.

Once ticking them continue on and make sure all boxes are ticked in the upcoming options. Then once that's done and you've installed it to the right exe folder, you can start the game and follow the on screen instructions.

When installed and you are in-game, all you do is search for the file you've downloaded as a preset and click it and it should apply.


IMPORTANT
THIS IS NOT A TEXTURE MOD SO IF YOU HAVE ANY TEXTURES MODS INSTALLED, YOU CAN USE MY MOD ALONG SIDE IT.

ReShade
ReShade is a generic post-processing injector for games and video software developed by crosire. Imagine your favorite game with ambient occlusion, real depth of field effects, color correction and more ... ReShade exposes an automated and generic way to access both frame color and depth information (latter is automatically disabled during multiplayer to prevent exploitation) and all the tools to make it happen.

The possibilities are endless! Add advanced depth-edge-detection-driven SMAA antialiasing, screen space ambient occlusion, depth of field effects, chromatic aberration, dynamic film grain, automatic saturation and color correction, cross processing, multi-pass blurring ... you name it.
