STiFU 585 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 Yeah, I use it quite often. A few years ago, I replayed Witcher 1 with some graphics mods and reshade and it was awesome. (Apparently, the image uploader on this forum has horrible jpeg quality, so you can't really see all the sparpening and details) I also used Reshade to turn GTA V into something that doesn't look like shit. (By the way, didn't care for the game. I only played it because every kept saying the story was so awesome, but it was more like meeh.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojU5YZfDW5E And I used a reshade based mod called "Darker D3" in Diablo 3 to make it look a little more like Diablo 2, color-toning wise.

chakkman 335 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Not bad, even though i'm not a big friend of pimping old games to make them look better. And GTA V looks shit? Can't really say that. Actually, the graphics in that vid look quite shit. Too much reflection and mojo going on. The reality doesn't look like that.

STiFU 585 Report post Posted January 22, 2019 Yeah, they exaggerated like crazy for that vid. I toned that down quite a bit. But I stand by it, GTA V doesn't look good out of the box. No good lighting, washed out textures, no proper reflections. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chakkman 335 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Graphics are overrated anyway. I still can't see much wrong with GTA V's graphics though. They look realistic, and that's the main point i guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chakkman 335 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 I must also admit that i like the no reshading screenshots better. Again, though, i'm really not a good measure stick, because i don't have a problem playing with those old graphics in all their... glory... It's also kind of a mental thing for me. Nice graphics are nice. But, to say it with the guy from Big Lebowski, the head is the main erogenous zone (or however he said it in English ). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter_spy 1415 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Funny thing is, you haven't posted any TDM screens yet I had some fun with reshade a few months back, and some subtle tweaks, like lens dirt or depth of field make for very good screenshots.

Taquito. 52 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Calm down. The bloom is included in the HD Mod. I use Ambient Light. It just intensifies the closer you get to the light source. When you get a few steps back it goes back to normal. The eye adaptation feature works pretty well in Deus Ex, in Thief is a bit harder to tweak but you're at least able to see shapes in the dark which for me works well in Thief. It's a matter of taste as well, I try to use common sense from my perspective. If I'm looking directly at a light source while close to it, should be blinding. If i'm in a room and there's a light source in it, I should be ale to distinguish shapes in the dark areas. If I'm outside with a full moon, it shouldn't be so dark on the ground. No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade I also use Color Matrix then tweak the saturation to eliminate exaggerated tints in textures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chakkman 335 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 Frankly... all that i'm seeing is that it brightens the picture, and adds a bloom effect. Is that it? Really, looks much better without the reshading. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taquito. 52 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 The difference is pretty notable in game. Maybe not so much in pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taquito. 52 Report post Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) The Eye Adaptation thing brightens the dark area automatically so perhaps that's why the Image seems birther. It changes when the player moves to a dark corner close to the wall. No Reshade Reshade No Reshade Reshade If you move further from the wall, more to the center into a bright area the shadows become darker again. Edited January 23, 2019 by Taquito.
