Luxury Visuals - HDR Plus

---

Welcome, adventurer, to a richer, more vibrant Cyrodiil!

If you also have the extreme first world problem of trying to run a 20-year-old Bethesda game on your $4k+ high end PC, then this is the mod for you! This is the first release in the "Luxury Visuals" series, a collection of mods aimed at maximizing the visual fidelity of Oblivion Remastered for higher-end systems, targeting true 4K HDR at 100+ FPS.

Luxury Visuals - HDR, focuses on enabling true High Dynamic Range (HDR) using Unreal Engine, and includes carefully tuned engine variables to improve the game's appearance when using HDR.

What This Mod DOES:

• []Enables True HDR Output: Activates Unreal Engine's native HDR pipeline for a vastly expanded range of brightness and color, making Oblivion Remastered look stunning on compatible HDR displays.

  []Optimized HDR Parameters: Provides a set of carefully configured engine settings for:

- HDR display output (calibrated with a 1000-nit OLED HDR display using a wide color gamut (Rec. 2020)

- Balanced UI brightness and composition in HDR.

- Resolves reticle ghosting when using HDR + DLSS Frame Gen + Transparency (works with Better Reticle mod!)

- Improved eye adaptation for smoother transitions between light and dark areas.

• []Enhanced Visuals tailored to HDR: Includes tweaks to:

- Skylight intensity for deeper, more  natural shadows and lighting.

- Volumetric fog appearance.

- Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion (RTAO) enabled.

- Ray Tracing culling radius for better distant views with RT reflections.

• []DLSS Auto Exposure: Enables DLSS Auto Exposure if you have DLSS selected.

  What This Mod Does NOT Do:

  • []It is NOT a ReShade preset. This mod directly utilizes Unreal Engine's native capabilities and will not carry the same performance hit as ReShade. (I see ~1-3 FPS reduction on a RTX 4090.)

    []It will not fix core problems with Oblivion Remastered or file your taxes, sorry. I hope to find more improvements in the future, but janky 2006 Bethesda code driving a poorly optimized Unreal Engine 5 implementation is ... special.

  Compatibility & Recommended Settings:

  Requires a true HDR-capable monitor and Windows properly configured for HDR output. This mod will not look correct on SDR displays.

  HDR Plus was created with in-game brightness set to 0.  You can adjust in game brightness to your preference. It will work with any settings but
