About this mod

My personal reshade that has intense colours and hard contrast. Now includes an optional less intense version.

Permissions and credits



- SCREENSHOTS HAVE START OF GAME AND LOCATION SPOILERS -

This is my personal ReShade.
Red and blues are very vivid, and other colours are super vibrant. 
This works when installed properly, and I am currently not taking requests. 
I am also tired of rude comments, hence the other reason comments are locked.
Thanks for understanding.
If you'd like to tweak the preset in game, you can do so by pressing Shift + F2 and changing the values. 
All of my screenshots have been taken with Fraps. I have used HattiWatti's Andromeda Cinematic Tools to disable the UI for screens.
Depth of field has been added to the screens with the Cinematic Tools as well - I am working on a version of Hypergalaxy
that has DOF enabled. Until that is ready, I really recommend the Cinematic Tools for any screenarchers.
Apart from using the Cinematic Tools flycam and cropping/pasting together screens, none of the screens have had
any post processing effect whatsoever applied to them. They are straight out of the game.

EDIT - I have added a less intense version under optional files.
EDIT - 20/09/2017 - I have added a pastel version under optional files. Pictures for this version are on the last page of images.


First, download Reshade from the Reshade website (installation instructions are there too).
Drag and drop the contents of the Hypergalaxy ReShade folder to C>Program Filesx86>Origin Games>Mass Effect Andromeda.
Once in game, press Shift + F2 to open the Reshade configuration. Under the 'Home' tab, select Hypergalaxy from the drop down tab. The Reshade should be applied immediately.
When using Reshade for the first time, it will load up all of the shaders at startup and could take a while.
UNINSTALL
Navigate to C>Program Filesx86>Origin Games>Mass Effect Andromeda. Select Hypergalaxy.ini, reshade-shaders (this comes with the Reshade download), dxgi.dll, dxgi.ini, and dxgi.log.
 


Q: WHY IS (INSERT PLANET/INTERIOR SPACE HERE) SO BRIGHT/DARK?
A: I have tried my best to streamline the preset as much as possible,
however the vanilla lighting throughout the game differs hugely between places like
Kadara and the Tempest. I suggest fiddling with brightness settings if the brightness/saturation for those spaces
is really unbearable for you. Sorry, that's the best I can do with what I've got.
As shown in the screens, you can use Numpad * to toggle the curves - making it slightly darker or slightly brighter. 
You can also use Numpad - to turn the colouring back to a vanilla shade if an area is too purple for you.
Q: FPS DROP?
A: My computer is decent but not top of the line, and I got a 5 FPS drop in some areas. 
Q: WHEN I TAKE SCREENSHOTS, THE RESHADE DOESN'T SHOW UP?
A: You need to use an external program to take screens (such as Fraps) when using Reshade.
