As a Reshade preset, new assets for MechWarrior 5 were not made other than the many hours spent fine tuning the game to visually look and feel the way I personally like it. Please do not redistribute the original configurations elsewhere. Feel free to re-mix the original work to meet your preference. Observe the credits if you are considering redistributing.
File credits
Industrial Reshade is an original preset. If you make a re-mix, you can also request to have your version shared on the original page with additional credits given to you.

Please rename any re-mixes with your name i.e. "IndustrialReshade###.ini" to "IndustrustrialReshade###-Scarcer-Remix.ini"

Initial test release
'Industrial Cinema' is a moody, low resource-intensive, reshade preset that generally provides darker tones and stretches low & mid-range contrasts.
The original 'Industrial Cinema' presets were originally designed to provide better color palletes and fix the awful post-processing and sharpening that MechWarrior 5 shipped with during its initial launch in 2019. Most of these issues have now been resolved with updates to the base game. The game however still has issues with lighting and color in many environments and conditions, I find that the new approach with 'Industrial Cinema' adds improved moods and colors to the majority of environments.
Release 1.0 Is a minor update for MechWarrior 5 year 1 patch as I didn't find much that needed to be changed from the previous version. It may, or may not be tweaked or advanced in the feature.
