A small set of effects for Reshade.

Most of these shaders are in the official reshade shader library, in some form/version but that library is tied to a given version of reshade and modified to use controls which are less precise or not compatible with e.g. v3. So I forked my shaders and shaders from others not in the reshade repo I use myself to this repository.

Prerequisites

You should have Reshade v4.x or higher (preferably the latest) and at least reshade.fxh present in the reshade-shaders\shaders folder

How to install

Download the zip using the button on the right which says 'Download ZIP'. This will give you a file called 'Master.zip', which contains all code. Unpack the zip and go to the src folder. Copy all files and folders inside the src folder into the Reshade folder in your game's bin folder. This Reshade folder should already be there. If you downloaded all files from the reshade shader repository when you installed reshade, it might be you get the warning from Windows that you're about to overwrite some files. That's ok, just overwrite the ones in the repository with the ones here.

Effects included

The following effects are currently included:

Cinematic DOF

The state of the art depth of field effect I wrote which has all the features you want and need from a depth of field effect: near plane bleed, configurable highlights, high performance, easy to use focusing code and great bokeh.

The bokeh shapes were created by Moyevka, Murchalloo, K-putt and others.

Emphasize

Emphasize is an effect which allows you to make a part of the scene pop out more while other parts are de-emphasized. This is done by using the depth buffer of the 3D engine, and by default it desaturates the areas which are not 'in focus'. Additionally you can specify a blend color which allows you to e.g. make what's not important much darker so the not-in-focus parts of the scene are way darker than the area which should be emphasized which is left as-is.

PandaFX

This effect is written by Jukka Korhonen aka Loadus. I fixed a set of bugs and optimized the code and kept the source here. For details see this thread.

Depth Haze

This effect is a simple depth-blur which makes far away objects look slightly blurred. It's more subtle than a Depth of Field effect as it's not based on a lens, but on how the human eye sees far away objects outdoors: detail is lost and the farther away an object, e.g. a tower, the less sharp the human eye sees it. Modern render engines tend to render far away objects crisp and sharp which makes the far away objects too sharp to look natural. Additionally Depth Haze also includes fog based on depth and screen position, which is configurable through parameters. It currently fogs more around the middle line of the screen and gradiently lowers the fog intensity towards the top/bottom of the screen, to avoid fog on the sky.

Multi LUT

A LUT (Look Up Tables for color toning) shader which offers multiple LUTs in one shader to easily change the color toning in-game. The color toning options available are based on hand-tuned LUTs and also presets from Adobe Lightroom.

Adaptive Fog

This shader combines bloom with depth fog to add more atmosphere to a scene. It offers a color option to make sure the fog matches the color tone used by the game engine.
