About this mod

A very niche Reshade preset which utilizes Regrade & Solaris effects from iMMERSE Pro Shaders by Pascal Gilcher and curated for use with Graphics Suite by EXXXcellent.

The goal of this Reshade preset is to achieve brighter lights whilst maintaining richer & darker shadows with more vibrant colors & blooming.

*DISCLAIMER*

This Reshade preset requires iMMERSE Pro Shaders from Marty's Mods "RAY TRACER" subscription. This is absolutely necessary because the Solaris & Regrade effects from iMMERSE Pro Shaders are crucial for this Reshade preset.

This preset also requires Graphics Suite to achieve the same look as the screenshots. (All screenshots including Reshade off screenshots showcases Graphics Suite in action)


SOLARIS REGRADE






REQUIREMENTS

- REFramework by praydog -
Modding tool/framework
Reshade crashes for Dragon's Dogma II. REFramework fixes that.

iMMERSE Pro Shaders by Pascal Gilcher (RAY TRACER TIER) -
tested/created with iMMERSE Pro 2305
iMMERSE Pro includes SolarisRegrade & RTGI, but RTGI is not needed since we will be using PathTracing instead

Graphics Suite by EXXXcellent -
New Ray Tracing mode "Path Tracing"
Although you can technically install Solaris Regrade without Graphics Suite it is required to get the same look as the screenshots
