📋 About This Mod
REQUIRES RESHADE (You can either download just the regular version OR the add-on support version. You only need the add-on support version if you are going to be using IGCS DoF for your screenshots.)
Please note: our monitors may display colours differently, so your result may look different from my preview photos. You may have to adjust to your liking!
HOW TO SET UP
To use the actual ReShade, you can install directly using Reshade's installer, or just drag the .ini file to wherever you have your presets directory set!
EXAMPLE
this is my directory (so if you don't know, reshade will show you)
REQUIRED SHADERS/TEXTURES
All of my shaders and texture files to make these work are available in files to download (warning: there are a lot that I just don't use, but I am too lazy to delete... so u can keep them or go through them yourself)
Also used in screenshots:
- IGCS DoF connector
