#reshade shaders

hi there!! i'm using the almond preset by glimersims

hopefully one of these work...

This is a new and different type of MultiLUT shader than the one I used for Full Bloom (and which I included in Clear Bloom). It uses a 2-part system, with a base shader containing the nuts and bolts (remember, base shaders end with .fxh), and an additional shader with the information about that specific MultiLUT atlas. It makes it a more lightweight and customisable experience, because once you have the base shader ( PD80_LUT_v2.fxh) you can add any number of shaders for additional MultiLUTs as long as you follow the format in PD80_02_Bonus_LUT_pack.fx. You also, of course, need the corresponding MultiLUT atlas png, which in this case is  pd80_example-lut.png.

Take a look at this github repository. There are hundreds and hundreds of LUTs across multiple MLUTs for you to play with. 

You need to put the  _BaseLUT.fxh* file in your Shaders folder - this is what tells each individual MLUT shader how to work. Then, you can place as many or as few of the individual MLUTs in your Shaders folder, making sure to also put their corresponding png in the Textures folder.

If you want to try them all out I recommend doing so in stages so your ReShade menu doesn’t get overwhelmed with all the files. You can add and remove shaders while your game is running, tabbing out to the shaders folder and adding or removing them as you want, and hitting Reload at the bottom of the ReShade menu when you tab back in (that final step may not be necessary if you’re playing in fullscreen, but if in doubt hit Reload anyway).

RESHADE: USING QUINT SSR

As promised, I created an overview of the SSR (screen-space reflections) shader that comes with Marty McFly’s qUINT shader pack for ReShade. It’s far too long to put here, so I’ve created an album over at imgur, including links to download the shader.

Hi there,

There was a change to the MXAO shader shortly after version 3.0.8, so it needs tweaking to make it look like you want (not just smoothnormals but some of the actual values too), but it still doesn’t look quite like it used to.

I wrote a tutorial about how to find old versions of shaders using the ReShade shaders github repository, but if you scroll down to the bottom you’ll see a direct link to the 3.0.8 shaders, since that’s one of the most popular versions.

Marty McFly, the author of MXAO and the ADOF DoF shaders, has put out a pack of new and updated shaders. It’s called qUINT and you can download here.

Some are more up-to-date versions of shaders included in the regular ReShade download, some are entirely new. You can simply copy them over into your reshade-shaders folder and start using them as normal (if any have the same file name as current shaders, say YES when asked if you would like to copy and replace) see edit at bottom.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to thoroughly read his thread and any documentation before using them, and again if you run into any problems. Make a backup of your current reshade-shaders folder first in case you want to revert.

Again, these are not currently included in the standard ReShade shader download when you install ReShade as normal. There are still versions of MXAO and ADOF in the regular download, and you can keep using them if you prefer. These qUINT shaders are simply alternatives and additions, and are the ones currently under regular development by Marty. 

If you start using the qUINT shaders, you may have to edit your current MXAO and DoF settings to suit. See edit at bottom.

One exciting addition is the Lightroom shader. I have an early experimental version of this that I’ve been using for a while, and it aims to bring a whole host of editing options under one shader to cut out the need for multiples. I haven’t used this latest version yet, but the older version had an option to create a LUT directly within the GUI, which would include any Lightroom effects AND any others from other shaders you have active. That meant you could then deactivate all those shaders and simply use the LUT to achieve the same look. This is primarily to aid performance and make things very simple. 

NOTE: you shouldn’t use any bloom/fog/dof/mxao/sharpening-style effects when creating the LUT, only use colour and gamma/levels/curves-changing effects, then once the LUT is active you can add in those other effects as desired.

If you want to distribute a ReShade preset that uses any of these shaders, be sure to either direct users to download it direct from the link above, or include it in the download along with your preset file (the shaders are licensed under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 license).

It’s always worth checking the Presentation section of the ReShade forum for any exciting shaders people create. There are quite a few that never get included with the main download. I use perhaps three or four regularly and they form staples of my presets.
