Vanilla Elex looks really dark and bland with an overly strong HDR effect that makes the world difficult to look at and differenciate everything Don´t get me wrong - it totally fits the hardcore RPG theme of the game, but lacks the "wow" factor that games like Gothic III had back in it´s time
This preset contains:
Contrast, brightness and saturation adjustments
Eye adaptation effect for the darker scenes in the game
Antialsing for rough edges
Bloom for brighter lights
Faint lens effect that interacts with the sun
The .ini is also modified for:
Custom fog (performance and ultra)
Greater level of detail in further distances (ultra version)
Better resolution for projected shadows (ultra version)
INSTALLATION
1.This preset is meant to be used along "Darker Nights and Brighter Interiors (Old Weather System)" Mod by harryagamez since it removes big part of the exaggerated HDR effect while keeping the shadows - https://www.nexusmods.com/elex/mods/55
2. Install ReShade latest version (4.9.1) making sure all their effect repositories are checked for installation https://reshade.me/#download
3. Copy and paste the folders inside "BeautyPreset.zip" inside your ELEX folder. Click yes if asked to overwrite
4. Done!
Author notes: If you feel like something is out of place please let me know! There is no depth buffer available so the HUD may get brighter indoors, working on it along a more optimized performance version
