Dilla's Need for Speed Unbound - CAS Two Time Pass Color Reshade
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added lightroom, colourfulness, unsharp and cas.
Almost no fps / performance loss.
Color reshade made for 8 bit monitors without HDR.
If your game is grey and milkwhite, take a look at the screenshots please.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing this game on a 60 hz monitor the game should be colorfull and probably no need for a color reshade ! This reshade is made for 144 hz monitors using standard monitor mode, where some games are grey and have no colors, maybe the icc monitor profile get ignored ?

ABOUT USING THIS IN MULTIPLAYER DISCLAIMER:
I've played multiplayer since launch with this reshade file and i am not banned !

But if they change their mind and start banning reshade users
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BAN !

YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, THANK YOU.
SINCE THEY DIDN'T BAN ANYONE IN THE LAST NFS MULTIPLAYER GAME FOR USING RESHADE
THEY SHOULD ALLOW THIS IN THE NEW GAME TOO, BUT WE NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.

Note about reshade download: Do not download the one with full addon support.
Download the one without full addon support because,
the one you can download with limited addon support but signed to be allowed in multiplayer games and the other is
one with full addon support and no depth buffer blockage for offline games, it will probably get you banned in online games.

GAME NOT LOADING: Give it a few trys, it will start the 2nd or 3rd time for sure, or use and older reshade version.

Download an older reshade version:
All reshade builds are kept online in this format.
https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_X.X.X.exe
So if you write 5.5.0 instead 3 time x you can download it from the reshade mainpage or any older version.

First of all very important before using this experimental reshade - HEALTH DISCLAIMER:
The experiment is to use 2 time cas but it can be bad because double CAS has to much pixelcorruption and is heavy on the eyes because of the jagginess on all edges in the frame. The screenshots are very nice but for actually playing the game if you can't hande the jagginess, im gonna recommend to disable CAS ingame for more performance and use only cas in the reshade !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all what is CAS two time pass ? When creating a video file inside a video editor program, before starting to render the final video file, there is one option, it is to render the video with one time pass or two time pass. Creating the video file with two time pass the video has better frame quality, the video looks better, sharper. So i've tried to recreate this effect in pc games using reshade CAS and the ingame CAS and i have to say in some games it realy works well. Doing this with any game goes like this, enable CAS in the ingame settings menu and then enable the 2nd CAS inside reshade.

Effects added V1:
Cas: sharpening
Colourfulness: adds color, 0.40 color value medium color increase
No other shaders included

Update V2:
Unsharp: better visibility, textures look different, vignette removal
Colourfulness: add color value 0.32 soft color increase
Lightroom: Reduced red, green and blue glow to reduce the glow colors of those graffiti effects, this works well, but if you like more rgb glow then put the lightroom effect one slot upwards above the color shader in the list, the difference is very subtle but notible
CAS: sharpening

Update V3:
Unsharp: better visibility, textures look different, vignette removal
Colourfulness: add color value 0.49 stronger color increase, if you don' like it then use color value 0.40 or 0.32 or less
Lightroom: Reduced red, green and blue glow to reduce the colors of those graffiti effects, this works well, but if you like more rgb glow then put the lightroom effect one slot upwards, the difference is very subtle but notible
CAS: sharpening

*Re uploaded all files V1, V2 and V3 with dither disabled. Disable dither if you downloaded this in the first few days here. Dither inserts an invisible screen to get better Gradient banding (grey tones) only visible with 7 or less backbuffer bits set. With 8 or 10 bit backbuffer set, the inserted dither screen is not visible but still exhausting to look at. Just disable dither (uncheck) when you see it is on.

Install: Copy the reshade files into the game folder \EA games\Need for Speed Unbound - Your folder may be different, double check.
When installing Reshade into the game folder, click on unselect all and then select all shader.

Recommended reshade settings:
1st - Click on "Load only enabled effects" in the settings menu.
2nd - Use "performance mode".

3rd - Hotkeys
Pos1: standard hotkey to enable the reshade menu ingame
Insert: toggle reshade on and off hotkey for comparing the difference
Print: for screenshots will be inside the game folder
Page up: reload the ini file
Page down: performance mode on and off
End: for choosing the next preset

Recommended graphic settings:
Enable FSR and use CAS at 100 value sharpening. Now we have two time cas going on, once in the game settings and once in reshade.
Max out everything and vsync enabled is recommended, but disable the camera shake and motion blur. Depth of field should be enabled to get rid of the jagginess coming from FSR on quality.

If there is to much jagginess for you, then enable depth of field.

Feeling very slow while driving fast ?
If this is the case then enable motion blur, driving will feel faster but it is only an optical illusion.
The effect looks bad tho, just my opinion, if you like it, then enable it.

Note about the screenshots being more red colored:
I'm using bluelight filter on my monitor so this should be visible in the screenshots too. Less blue color means there will be more red color in the frame.
So keep in mind testing the reshade with bluelight filter on and off, or at least use a low value.

Recommended mods: There are no other reshade files available right now, this should be the first file on here.

Have fun ;)

*This reshade was created without a 10 bit HDR monitor, so maybe this won't work on HDR or OLED monitors.

*Important note to everyone who get to feel a headache or eyes hurting, you should disable cas and use lower color values because these effects can create pixel corruption by oversharpening the picture. Double cas is heavy on the eyes (jagginess) but if you use only one cas ingame or in reshade, it should be fine.
So be carefull when using sharpening and color effects, thank you.

*Feel free to change my reshade settings and upload your own reshade.

If you are a game developer: This is the kind of graphics what gamers realy want. Full colors, straight textures and clear sight ! Look at the screenshots or test the reshade file by yourself. When you create a new game think about putting some kind of colorcorrection into your new developed game for 8 bit monitors or add something like this in the settings menu for being able to toggle the colorcorrection on and off.
