About this mod

An RTGI based reshade, trying to stay as close as possible to the original Kenshi feeling with enhanced lighting effects, keeping balance between beauty and playability.

THIS PRESET WON'T WORK AS IS
You'll need to grab RTGI 0.35 or more and Regrade that can be officially found from Pascal Gilcher's Patreon for it to work as intended.
(RTGI 0.31 makes the godrays buggy, haven't tried with the other versions)

Made with reshade 5.4.2 (Other versions might not work)

Installation : 
  • Simply install reshade, if you don't know how to do it, watch a tutorial it's really easy, and make sure the depth buffer is working properly
  • Extract the Cristal Reshade archive into your Kenshi.exe folder
  • Extract Regrade and Reshade_GI into the reshade-textures folder 
  • Launch the game, press Home (by default), read the quick tutorial and make sure your reshade looks like this
  • Go to settings inside the reshade menu, and set a key to toggle the preset
  • Optionally, setup the path to the desired screenshot folder inside the settings.

Warning : 
If you're using the ShaderSSAO mod you'll need to disable it (can also be done in the graphics options) for the reshade to work properly
FXAA enabled recommanded, up to your taste.

If colors aren't to your liking, you can easily tweak them in the PD80_04_Contrast_Brightness_Saturation effect, inside the reshade menu
Same goes for the sharpening, after all it depends a lot on your own monitor settings. 

Designed to work with my Thicc trees and grass mod and Transparent UI
Other recommanded graphic mods : Darker nights, Thicc foliage, Distant towns, Reduced Particle Effects, Lights tweak.

Screenshots are all in the before/after order.
