Halo 4 Next-Gen edition

As said above, all these screenshots were made with using Reflow in mind but it also works with base halo 4, just be mindful that if you were to use this preset in vanilla the visual are going to be a little overbearing.

I will also be adding screenshots and be making small adjustments overtime, so what I post won't be the final version unless I feel satisfied with it.

If you don't have the mod installed you can get it with this link: https://www.nexusmods.com/halothemasterchiefcollection/mods/852 or find it on the steam workshop.

Some screenshots will have Depth of field and a border effect for the sake of showing off, but these effects will NOT be in the actual preset.

RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

I7-12700 2. 3 GZ

Play tested at 1440p.

Screenshots taken with steam capture.

Effects used:

1. HSL SHIFT: To make the colors more vibrant (Small performance hit)

2. HDR: To have the difference between the light and dark more pronounced (Small performance hit)

3. MagicBloom: To broadly make the light more intense and colorful (Moderate performance hit)

4.prod80_02_Bloom: To enhance highlights of the image while not intruding of the broad light (Moderate performance hit)

Can accidently happen sometimes but when it does its mostly in outdoor areas

5. HDRsaturation: To give a global vibrance boost

6. GloomAO: Halo 4 has a lot of light leak (Areas not being properly shaded in the context of its environment) so this helps out a LOT and helps ground a lot of objects. But at a couple hiccups:

A. It costs a LOT, by far the most expensive effect on this list and gets more expensive the higher the resolution, only enable if you have a beefy PC.

B. In areas with fog the AO can clip through it and look pretty fake, so just keep that in mind.

Even with these if you can spare the horsepower, its really worth it.

7. Lumasharpen: To make the image a tiny bit sharper and clear (small performance hit)

8. Chromatic Aberration(Prism.fx) To make the eyes more focused on the center and because I think it looks cool (Small performance hit)

9. CShadeDLAA: To clean up a lot of aliasing in the image. Unfortunately due to Halo 4's art direction aliasing will be there not matter what, but these do some serious work (Significant performance hit)
