📋 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
