theHunter-COTW - CinematicPunch

This MOD is based on ReShade.

It's a thirdparty-application and not provided by me!

If you have any problems, just get in touch with the developers!

I've only created a "profile" with some effects, coupled and adjusted together, for my personal taste.

- If you don't like it? - Don't use it!^^

I don't ReShade some of the newest games, because of three important facts:

1) Newest Games mostly don't need to be ReShaded!

2) I don't have the money to buy every games released, to support with newest ReShades!

3) I only use EpicGames-Store for the free stuff and if I find something interesting, I sometimes share my ReShade-Profiles with you.

++Nice2Know!!!++

There's a Bug with Clarity and Filmic Anamorphic Sharpen Shaders, if you use the regular installer of ReShade and do also include the good old stuff, for DOF's.

Because Shaders are installed TWICE!

- No need to be afraid, because I fixed it already in my files!

Let's get into Details!

At the moment "not so much" is added:

1) DOF (Depth Of Field) by "MagicDOF":  To setup Bokeh onto the image in the distance (~400m). The Game looks "vanilla" okay in the distance, but everything looks blurry because of FXAA + TAA. The difference between CinematicDOF and MagicDOF is, that you have a fixed circle around you, where the shader takes effect, but Cinematic is coupled onto your "view-spot" and creates in this game "clipping". That's why I used the "fixed-DOF".

2) Clarity: To increase the overall sharpness of the textures and create a more HDR-Effect, with a little more crispy-contrast.

3) Filmic Anamorph Sharpen:To increase the details and this is the most important step, because now - everything in the near is very good detailed and in the distance (upto 400m), it get's a lil blurry by the DOF! But - the game keeps the Antaliasing very well!

I feel, that this is more realistic, but take a look by yourself...

SweetFX is different from my personal Presets, because I do always apply the shaders on top of the game, the way that I feel, it's increasing my personal taste of game-experience ... and to be honest ... this is a Seek-And-Hide game, with not so much Action ... so I decided to get the best visual-experience, because the game looks pretty!
