THIS IS A RESHADE ADDON, NOT RESHADE FX
This mod adds full HDR support to Beyond Blue using the RenoDX modding framework. The game originally used an approximation of ACES tonemapper in gameplay and Unity's Neutral tonemap in the title screen. These have been replaced with accurate, HDR-compatible tone mappers.THIS IS A RESHADE ADDON, NOT RESHADE FX
Features
🎨 Tone Mapping
- Vanilla – Original game tonemapper (Unity's fake ACES SDR approximation in game and Unity Neutral on the title screen)
- None – Untonemapped HDR output.
- ACES / Exponential Rolloff – True ACES tonemapper for gameplay, Exponential Rolloff tonemapper for the title menu.
- Peak Brightness
- Game Brightness
- UI Brightness
- Hue Correction – Preserves pre-tonemapping hues. With ACES tonemap it reverts to pre-RRT hues
- Gamma Correction – Emulate a 2.2 EOTF
- Exposure – Adjusts overall brightness pre-tonemap.
- Highlights – Controls highlight intensity.
- Shadows – Lifts or deepens shadows.
- Contrast – Boosts or flattens contrast.
- Saturation – Enhances or dulls colors.
- Blowout – Controls highlight desaturation due to overexposure.
- Scene Grading – Adjusts how much of the original game grading is applied.
- LUT Sampling – Choose between trilinear and tetrahedral LUT sampling.
- Grain Type – Switch between Unity’s original dithering noise and perceptual film grain.
- Grain Strength – Controls intensity of grain effect.
- Bloom – Adjust bloom strength.
- Upgrades the swapchain and intermediate render targets from 8 bit UNORM to 16 bit FLOAT for HDR support.
- Auto-detects Peak Brightness based on display.
- Shader replacements target post-processing, UI, and LUT shaders, ensuring accurate color mapping and output.
- The mod uses RenoDX’s built-in settings panel with full multi-level control ("Simple", "Intermediate", "Advanced").
- Requires Reshade 6.4.1 or newer with addon support.
- Validated HDR rendering using Lilium's HDR Analysis.
- Ensured consistency and preservation of artistic intent between vanilla and newly added tonemappers
- Install Reshade 6.4.1 or newer with addon support.
- Drop the RenoDX DLL into the *Beyond Blue* directory next to the game exe.
- Enable Windows HDR.
- Customize tone mapper and grading settings in the RenoDX UI
