Post Your Screenshots! 2nd!

[MadManMoon]

Unfortunately not … it’s a separate program … I could maybe do a post on it (there might already be one) … but I’m still trying to get the settings just right … I’ve tried a couple of others just now (from the advice of another user in the game chat) and it’s getting there … perhaps a little too over saturated right now … need to find a happy medium, I think.

I believe what I could do, once I find a good balance … is to publish some kind of file that folks can just load in to reshade as a loadout or something … but I’m still learning about it.

Thank you. Your screenshots do look amazing with it. Are all the settings in one json file?

What I just said to @Artemida (who was unsure because it’s yet another program) on Steam chat was:

1. DL - You download, then keep the program somewhere (it’s a portable executable, no need to install).
2. Run ReShade - Then when ever you wish to apply changes to a compatible (most) game(s) you just activate it.
3. Choose Boundless - Once activated, you choose the game that you wish to affect (or do it by the game’s install folder).
4. Get Shaders - Then (well this is what I do) make sure that all the options are fully ticked, not just filled in with a square.
5. Close ReShade - Once it is done registering the game you can close it.
6. Run Boundless - You run the game, and an overlay will be there.
7. Tutorial and SHADE - Once you’re fully in the game, press the ‘Home’ key and it will take you through a tutorial.

… but essentially, you just pick an effect, and make changes to the numbers or sliders in its settings. Choosing ‘Performance Mode’ just hides those settings (and makes it run better) and makes it easier to turn stuff on and off.

I also made a ‘solid’ RAR backup of my Boundless folder before just in case, as it’s only 3GB … but that may have been overkill.

EDIT
if you want the settings that I’m currently using they’re above … but I’m playing with more … like this with a tad more saturation using the ‘technicolour2’ shader at only .25 strength …

I also started playing with ‘sensitivity’ in the main ‘Adaptive Tonemapping’ one I’m using … and I turned on a marginal shader called ‘Clarity’

Also … There’s two threads here:

ReShade

ReShade guide (reduce agressive colors saturation) - #13 by schasm

EDIT 2

Here’s an example of an issue that I mentioned I need to look at … masking the HUD / GUI … because the shader is washing it out.

But the tunnel itself is ■■■■■■■ stunning!

Perhaps that will get fixed, though, if I find a way to handle what I think are called ‘specular highlights’ … I dunno, I’ve been watching too many HDTV Test videos on YouTube!

EDIT 3

For what it’s worth, in the link I posted in my original post above, I think that I might have found json files that could do some of this, @majorvex … so maybe now knowing what I do about this I could amend those!

EDIT 4

This might help with the GUI, but not with the overall “specular highlights” thing … this is from guilighting.json:

   "ambientColor" : [ 1, 1, 1 ],
   "ambientIntensity" : 2.5239999294281006,
   "frontColor" : [ 1, 0.87000000476837158, 0.86000001430511475 ],
