Ultimate Letterbox HUD - A DEF_UI DEF_HUD Preset

Description

This mod is a fully optimized and carefully designed Heads Up Display (HUD) that balances two things: immersion and functionality. It is minimalistic, and yet, it still retains all the necessary functionality of the vanilla HUD. This mod is designed with having the letterbox effect enabled in an ENB of your choice. It caters to the niche of players who want to use the letterbox effect that comes with ENBs. This mod does not come with the letterbox effect. Here are some advantages of combining this mod with letterboxing and ENB:

• []More cinematic quality

  []More immersion in surroundings

  []Optimized functionality

  []Efficient use of screen space

  []Subtle and nuanced letterboxing effect

  The letterbox effect, as used in filmography, in synergy with various other post-processing effects (such as color-grading, texturization, saturation, and etc) can make your game/film come alive in different tones: happy, sad, scary, warm, cold, 80s retro, etc. The letterbox effect enhances the cinematic quality of what you are looking at in a psychological way due to the narrowing effect and serves to amplify certain post-processing effects through this matter. Also, it has a subtle cinematic-landscape effect that makes the surroundings more encompassing.

  An optimized, carefully adjusted full-screen version has been added for people that do not use ENBs or do not use the letterbox effect of ENBs or those times you wanna get the full-screen experience.

  All-in-all, if you want more immersion and optimized functionality of your HUD, this mod is for you.

  Requirements

  1. (Required) DEF_UI

  • []Make sure you choose to install DEF_HUD in the installer (DEF_HUD is the framework for this mod)

  2. (Recommended) An ENB with the letterbox effect. I am using PhotoRealistic Commonwealth ENB currently, but any ENB with the letterbox effect works. Choose whichever you like from here:

  []PhotoRealistic Commonwealth ENB (Use 1. 85 as your letterbox value)

  []Film Workshop ENB (Use 1. 85 as your letterbox value)

  []Pilgrim ENB (Use 1. 85 as your letterbox value)

  []The Enhancer ENB (Use 1. 85 as your letterbox value)

  []Grim Wolf ReShade and ENB Presets (Not all of his presets have letterboxing. This uses the 'Height in %' formula, which is a different scaling formula from the formula I've seen. Use 0. 019 as your value.)

  []NCW - New Cinematic Wasteland ENB (This uses the 'Height in %' formula, which is a different scaling formula from the formula I've seen. Use 0. 019 as your value.)

  [*]Vintage Fil
