📋 About This Mod
Hello Outcast's,
Welcome to Horizon Augmented. My sole focus here is providing a mix of many filters, over time, to satisfy all the visual diversity that comes with game graphics. Some people want pure realism. Some want a cinematic movie-like experience. While others want a beautiful, colourful eye molesting. HA attempts this by using solely colour correction (which has 0 performance cost) to achieve many different types of colour palettes and visual vibes. For now, I have created the foundational filter that I will use to create more. This filter sets the High Resolution Shadowing, lighting and sharpening to a high quality standard.
Filters Currently Included
Feel free to suggest types of filters you would like to see added to this pack.

PERFORMANCE
This preset, on my 5600x + 3060ti costs ~20% performance. However, all 3 settings used can be toggled on and off (see 'keys' below) to increase performance, or more performance friendly filters will be provided in the future.
KEYS
- Open/Close Reshade Menu (HOME)
- Turn OFF/ON Reshade (INS)
- Turn OFF/ON Reshade Performance Mode (PG UP)
- Turn OFF/ON MXAO (DEL)
- Turn OFF/ON BLOOM (END)
- Turn OFF/ON SHARPENING (PG DN)
