RE7 Graphics Enhancement

RE7 Graphics Enhancement

A REFramework mod for Resident Evil 7 that unlocks and improves several graphics settings that the base game limits. Everything is controlled from a clean in-game menu under the REFramework Script UI.

General

• []Image Post Processing — Toggle post-processing effects on or off.[/]

Shadows

• []Shadow Quality — Directly controls the shadow quality tier, up to "Highest(4)", for significantly sharper and more detailed shadows without touching in-game settings.[/]

  []Shadow Resolution — Push shadow map resolution higher for sharper shadows. Note: this will increase VRAM usage noticeably.[/]

  []Swing On Shadow — Enables dynamic shadow movement for trees, allowing their shadows to sway naturally.[/]

  []Better Shadow Filter — Applies a higher quality shadow filtering method for smoother and more accurate shadows. Most noticeable outdoors.[/]

Level of Detail

• []Disable LOD — Forces all objects to render at their highest available mesh detail regardless of camera distance.[/]

  []Disable Small Object Culling — Prevents small distant objects from being culled, reducing pop-in and improving scene detail at a GPU cost.[/]

RT Options (RT must be enabled in-game settings for this to take effect)

• []Raytracing Quality — Overall RT pipeline quality level.[/]

  []RayTracingSpecularRoughnessThresholdQuality — Controls which surfaces receive RT reflections based on their roughness value.[/]

  []RTLightingTarget — Sets which lights are affected by ray tracing (e.g. All).[/]

  []Disable Aggressive AccumulateData — Reduces ghosting and smearing on fast-moving objects in dim scenes at the cost of slightly more noise.[/]

  []Use Alpha Test — Enables alpha testing during RT passes for better handling of foliage, fences, and hair geometry.[/]

Experimental

• []Denoiser — (Default=ON) Internal denoiser. When turned off, reflections become clearer with some RT improvement if RT quality is set to the highest. However, you may encounter a flickering issue when moving between zones.[/]

  []Secondary Bounce — Second bounce for specular/reflections. Only works when the denoiser is disabled.[/]

Diffuse GI (Toggle off will go back to Default Value)

• []DiffuseResolution — (Placebo)GI buffer resolution preset. Origin_Res = full resolution. Half_Res = half resolution upsampled.[/]

  []DiffuseBounceIntensityMultiplier — Scales the intensity of diffuse GI bounced light.[/]

  []DiffuseRayLength — Maximum world-space distance a diffuse GI ray can travel.[/]

Specular / Reflections (Toggle off will go back to Default Value)

• []SpecularResolution — (Placebo)Specular buffer resolution. Origin_Res = sharper reflections at higher cost. Half_Res = cheaper but softer reflections.[/]

  []SpecularBounceIntensityMultiplier — Scales the intensity of specular/reflection bounced light.[/]

  []SpecularRayLength — Maximum distance for specular/reflection RT rays.[/]

  Installation

  • []Download and install REFramework by praydog first.[/]

    []Drop RE7 Graphics Enhancement.lua into your RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard\reframework\autorun folder.[/]

  Uninstalling

  • []Delete RE7 Graphics Enhancement.lua from the RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard\reframework\autorun folder.[/]

    []Delete RE7_Graphics_Enhancement.json from the RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard\reframework\data folder.[/]
