Dilla's Assassin's Creed Valhalla - CAS Two Time Pass
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added colourfulness, unsharp and cas.
Almost no fps / performance loss.
Color reshade made for 8 bit monitors without HDR.
If your game is grey and milkwhite, take a look at the screenshots please.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing this game on a 60 hz monitor the game should be colorfull and probably no need for a color reshade ! This reshade is made for 144 hz monitors using standard monitor mode, where some games are grey and have no colors, maybe the icc monitor profile get ignored ?

First of all what is CAS two time pass ? When creating a video file inside a video editor program, before starting to render the final video file, there is one option, it is to render the video with one time pass or two time pass. Creating the video file with two time pass the video has better frame quality, the video looks better, sharper. So i've tried to recreate this effect in pc games using reshade CAS and the ingame CAS and i have to say in some games it realy works well. Doing this with any game goes like this, enable CAS in the ingame settings menu and then enable the 2nd CAS inside reshade.

Effects added V1:
Cas: sharpening
Colourfulness: adds color, 0.25 color value medium color increase
Unsharp: better visibility, texture colors and vignette removal

Update V2 compare file for creating new reshades:
Cas: sharpening
Colourfulness: adds color, 0.25 color value medium color increase
Unsharp: better visibility, texture colors and vignette removal
Before: 1st effect compare shader
After: 2nd effect compare shader

*Re uploaded both files V1 and V2 with dither disabled. Disable dither if you downloaded this in the first few days here. Dither inserts an invisible screen to get better Gradient banding (grey tones) only visible with 7 or less backbuffer bits set. With 8 or 10 bit backbuffer set, the inserted dither screen is not visible but still exhausting to look at. Just disable dither (uncheck) when you see it is on.

If you want to make a new reshade file for yourself, reset values on all enabled shader and disable them, only before and after stay enabled. Before has to be on the top in the list and after has to be below the used shaders to work.

Before and After: Left side on the screen the reshade will be disabled and on the right side the reshade will be enabled for comparing the off and on effect.
This is very helpfull if you want to create your own reshade and beeing able to see the difference off and on in one frame. Setting a hotkey for turning the reshade on and off in the reshade settings is also recommended for testing. I'm using the insert hotkey.

Install: Copy the reshade files into the game folder Steam\steamapps\common\Assassin's Creed Valhalla
When installing Reshade into the game folder, click on unselect all and then select all shader.

Recommended reshade settings:
1st - Click on "Load only enabled effects" in the settings menu.
2nd - Use "performance mode".

3rd - Hotkeys
Pos1: standard hotkey to enable the reshade menu ingame
Insert: toggle reshade on and off hotkey for comparing the difference
Print: for screenshots will be inside the game folder
Page up: reload the ini file
Page down: performance mode on and off
End: for choosing the next preset

Recommended graphic settings:
Enable FSR high quality CAS ingame and 2nd CAS inside reshade ! Now we have two time cas going on, once in the game settings and once in reshade.
Max out everything on ultra settings and enable vsync. Take a look at my settings screenshots for more details.

Note about the screenshots being more red colored:
I'm using bluelight filter on my monitor so this should be visible in the screenshots too. Less blue color means there will be more red color in the frame.
So keep in mind testing the reshade with bluelight filter on and off, or at least use a low value.

Have fun ;)

*This reshade was created without a 10 bit HDR monitor, so maybe this won't work on HDR or OLED monitors.

*Important note to everyone who get to feel a headache or eyes hurting, you should disable cas and use lower color values because these effects can create pixel corruption by oversharpening the picture. Double cas is heavy on the eyes (jagginess) but if you use only one cas ingame or in reshade, it should be fine.
So be carefull when using sharpening and color effects, thank you.

*Feel free to change my reshade settings and upload your own reshade.

If you are a game developer: This is the kind of graphics what gamers realy want. Full colors, straight textures and clear sight ! Look at the screenshots or test the reshade file by yourself. When you create a new game think about putting some kind of colorcorrection into your new developed game for 8 bit monitors or add something like this in the settings menu for being able to toggle the colorcorrection on and off.
