Tomb raider 2013 this game...
is probably the gold standard for the action adventure genre.
Excelling in all aspects of game development only surpassed by
its sequels rise and shadow of the tomb raider so modding wise
this is hallowed ground, never the less...
This package contains some tweaks realized with 3dmigoto.

update 10/01/2023
- a 3dmigoto full screen shader (upscale.hlsl) replaces reshade
- added remove radial blur effect in instinct mode
- added increase presence ambient occlusion
- reworked tonemap
- switched to internal fxaa (reshade no longer needed)
* See screenshots for an impression

update 11/07/2021

- changed sweetfx to reshade 4.3.0
  the 32bit version of sweetfx causes the CreateDXGIFactory2
  error on windows 10
- update 3dmigoto to version 1.3.16
- added 2 shader tweaks
  reduce excessive global illumination bloom and god ray
  reduce cumulative bloom effect rim light
- remove the bump pass still adds relief to textures
  however less noisy
- tested with windows 10 (1903)

3dmigto tweaks contain:
- remove glow shiny objects walkie talkie etc
- remove boekah effect
- reduce distance fog density
- remove waterdrops (overlay)
- reduce excessive global illumination bloom and god ray
- reduce cumulative bloom effect rim light

Further a 3dmigoto tone map re-balances brightness plus removes a slight
yellow tint and a 'poor mans form of tessellation' gives the assets
(characters, environment, etc) a bit of relief plus more definition.

Note:
I normally have the game running on 'exclusive fullscreen' unfortunately
I had to change this to make screenshots.

- updating

if the old package was installed remove the following
folder(s) and file(s) in the folder which contains TombRaider.exe

reshade

dxgi.dll
dxgi.ini
ReShade.ini

Then copy the contents of the zip file to the install folder
of tomb raider 2013 the folder which contains TombRaider.exe.

- install

Copy the contents of the zip file to the install folder of
tomb raider 2013, the folder which contains TombRaider.exe.

- optional install

If you do not like using unverified dll's you can download 3dmigoto from
https://github.com/bo3b/3Dmigoto/releases
download version 1.3.16 (32bit) and place the following dlls in the install dir of tomb raider 2013
d3d11.dll
d3dcompiler_46.dll
d3dx.ini
then copy ShaderCache and ShaderFixes from the zip file to the same dir aka folder.

note: if you choose to use the d3dx.ini contained in the github package
make sure to set (line 248):
hunting=0
the default setting is:
hunting=1
which sets 3dmigoto to a debug mode.

- verify

After running the game the folder ShaderFixes should
gradually (scene and level dependent) contain the .bin versions:

09772723e9ff9986-ps_replace.bin

This means that the file(s) .txt have been compiled by 3dmigoto (d3d11.dll)

- tested

Tested with version 1.0.722.3 (dx11) of tomb raider 2013
on win 7 / win 10(1903) / nvidia 1050gtx ti with 3dmigoto (32bits) 1.3.16

- performance

3dmigoto gpu usage [email protected]*
without - clock 1772Mhz gpu usage ~60%
with       - clock 1772Mhz gpu usage ~62%
approximately 2% increase (1050gtx ti on win 10)
max gpu: 1772Mhz gpu usage 100%
*) Game is capped to 51.2 sync forced off through nvidia inpsector

- further tweaking

If you like you can compare the modified shader, ShaderCache contains
the original shader, to alter values.

To disable specific tweaks open the shader from
the folder 'shaderfixes' with a text editor example:
09772723E9FF9986-ps_replace.txt

Has a remark on the top line:
// increase presence ambient occlusion

So if you do not want that to happen
remove the shader from the folder 'shaderfixes'

09772723E9FF9986-ps_replace.txt

and if compiled remove:

09772723E9FF9986-ps_replace.bin

then restart the game.

All shaders <shadernumber>ps_replace.txt have
a similar descriptive remark.
