Realematic ReShade

This will be my first mod publication, and God, it's another ReShade...

I made this for myself but it came out so well (IMHO) that I figured I would put it up on the Nexus in case anyone else likes it. In searching for a ReShade to suit my taste I found a few that came close but there was always some compromise that I couldn't live with for full time play. that's where this started. I pulled inspiration from two (Very good) ReShade's that I was playing with at one point or another, RespectfulReshadeRedux1. 1 and Skylab New York-Realistic-4. 4. 9. I have since changed all the values and added or subtracted different shader's to suit my taste and balance as well as I could between night, day, and interior. Now I present Realematic ReShade.

Like many other ReShades on the Nexus this one eliminates the color filter present in the vanilla game, attempting to blend the intended visuals with a realistic but visually pleasing, cinematic, consistent, playable look and feel to it. There is some (minor) noise produced by this ReShade, primarily during some darker scenes, that I was not able to fully eliminate while maintaining my intended look in other scenes. I recommend turning off film grain in the game options as that setting will exacerbate the issue. Also the screenshots make the shadows look darker than they actually are during gameplay, this mod is highly adaptive to scene color and brightness.

This preset is made for SDR I do not have an HDR screen and will not make a preset for HDR.

FYI under certain situations the SharpContrast Shader causes a lot of artefacts floating on screen. almost like a film grain, I have only seen this in Braindance scenes and disabling that shader during the scene solves the problem. (I might have solved this with some changes to the shader, but I dont remember.)

Screeenshots are slightly outdated. see below version breakdown under silent update for more info. Check it out!

Installation is the same as any ReShade.

Download ReShade.exe from their website.

Install per their instructions.

During the Installation make sure to check all the effects that this ReShade uses.

Place Realematic.ini in the Cyberpunk2077.exe directory location where ReShade installed the .dll

Load the game and load Realematic.ini

I will most likely not have time or the inclination to take any requests, like I said I created this for myself and a small group of friends and have a busy life. That being said if anyone has any helpful hints, tips, or tricks to help improve Realematic ReShade they are welcome. I just cant promise that anything will be implemented.

I'll be tweaking and releasing changes as I continue to play and find cause to.
