About this mod

Reshade preset to modernize the game without drastically altering the tone/color.

Permissions and credits
I wasn't happy with any of the current reshade presets out there, so I made my own. I didn't want to drastically alter the tone or color of the original but mainly modernize it a bit with effects like raytracing, AA, bloom/lense flares, dof etc.

*note that this was fine-tuned for:
-the original game, not the trash remaster
-HDR version (windows 11 auto-hdr - intensity slider maxed out)
-for an OLED screen
-McFly's raytracing effect required...if not, maybe swap for something similar like Radiant GI
-adjust your in-game gamma prior to turning this on
-on an RTX4090, so wasn't too concerned about performance; so you may need to tweak some settings like # of rays if it drops your FPS to unacceptable levels


Effects used:
AmbientLight
Bloom
Clarity
DLAA_Plus
EyeAdaption
FilmGrain2
MartysMods_LAUNCHPAD
MartysMods_SHARPEN
NeoBloom
PPFX_Godrays
qUINT_dof
qUINT_rtgi

I know SSR is popular to add but I don't like the unwanted artifacts it produces in many spots and I also kept AO restrained to not totally destroy fog/smoke/outside water effects.

Several before and after screenshots provided.
