📋 About This Mod

Rewrite of the grading pipeline to add HDR and controls for tonemapping, paper white, UI brightness, and color grading.

RenoDX rewrites the game's DX12 shaders to add native HDR and user controls for the game. It uses the Reshade Add-on API to hook into the game, NOT RESHADE EFFECTS.

File may get a false positive from AVs, but it's perfectly safe and the code is open source.

          About RenoDX

          RenoDX, short for "Renovation Engine for DirectX Games", is a toolset to mod

          games. Currently it can replace shaders, inject buffers, add overlays,

          and write user settings to disks. Because RenoDX uses Reshade's add-on

          system, compatibility is expected to be pretty wide. Using Reshade

          simplies all the hook necessary to tap into DirectX without worrying

          about patching version-specific exe files. The source code is available

          Credits

          Thanks to ShortFuse for creating the RenoDX framework.

          Thanks to Lilium for making the HDR analysis tool I used extensively while creating this mod, and providing CAS code.

          RenoDX (and Luma) devs for the help.

          These images are in HDR and must be viewed in a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera, etc.) with HDR enabled in Windows
