Illuminate v1.1 - SSPTGI Reshade Preset for STALKER Anomaly

z7xG3cHVM2Y

IMPORTANT!!!

This preset doesnt make any colour, LUT or grading changes so in theory, it will work with any version of stalker. I just created it using GAMMA.

Aaaay, cheeky breekys!

Welcome to ILLUMINATE. My sole focus here over the past week has been to provide an efficient reshade preset that achieves realistic and immersive gameplay and graphics.

MY RESHADE CREATION PROCESS

1. Highlight areas to improve.

2. Test available options for each area (i.e sharpening, bloom, colour pallet) and choose 1 that has the best performance and achieves the desired result.

3. Avoid using multiple FX to save on performance.

4. Avoid extremities to better balance across all users devices

5. Provide a balanced, base preset with a guide for the user to then make their own changes to achieve their personal taste

I will continue to update this mod based on feedback and continued playthrough but for now, here is the 1. 0 version. I have all the instructions to install below, quick and simple.

SIMPLE  INSTALL  INSTRUCTIONS

Put the files in the downloaded folder into your games "bin" folder. For example, my games "bin" folder

E:\GAMMA ANOMALY INSTALL\Anomaly-1. 5. 1. 2\bin

Then start your game as usual.

KEYBINDS

Home - toggle reshade menu

PAGE UP - toggle RTGI

PAGE DOWN - toggle DOF

END - toggle Bloom + Auto-Exposure

NON-RTGI USERS

If you have not paid for the RTGI fx then I have made a substitute for you using the MXAO fx.

Simply open the reshade menu (HOME) and click the toggle button next to "MXAO " option.

It is not as good as RTGI but it is the best alternative.

EDITING YOUR OWN RESHADE

To edit a reshade preset:

1. Copy and paste the current preset you want to edit (i.e "TLOU_Cinematic.ini") and rename it to what ever you like

2. Press "HOME" button to open the reshade menu

3. At the top of the menu, click the drop-down tab and find your renamed preset

4. Make sure "Performance Mode" is off by pressing "PG DN" button, to allow editing.

5. If you mess it up, you can always go back to my preset and start again because you COPY and PASTED
