Eagle-eyed viewers may have seen a brief teaser for our upcoming IGCS-style DoF addon in the 2509 update video (youtu.be/afDOZ6rNqrk?...)

Here are a couple of screenshots to whet your appetite 📸

#ReShade #VirtualPhotography
Screenshot from a video game showing an overhead view of some vibrant foliage. In the centre is an orange flower, and beneath it in the background is a lot of green foliage. The background/green foliage is out of focus and has bright bokeh discs dotted wherever there are highlights. The orange flower remains in sharp focus. A screenshot from a video game showing a closeup of some foliage. The background is out of focus and has areas of bright bokeh discs. In the near foreground is a blade of grass, which is perfectly blurred. The transition between near blur, middle focus, and distance blur is smooth and pleasing.

Did you check out our Depth Buffer video? Probably the most common problems people have come from trying to configure the depth buffer properly. Maybe this will help!

A screenshot from a video game of Batman, stood with his back to us on a dark, foggy street. There are several areas where refraction lens flares emanate from strong light sources, creating a cinematic look. In the bottom right corner is overlaid a diffraction spike pattern to show an example of one of the types of patterns you can create.

Colour grading and camera effects coming together to make Catwoman shine ✨

#Batman #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A screenshot of Catwoman. She is stood facing away from us but looking back over her shoulder. She's wearing her iconic black jumpsuit and mask. She seems to be in a hall of some kind, which stretches out into the distance. There are warm golden lights in the background.

January dragging on too long? Sick of the cold? At least you're not stuck in a frozen wasteland, even if it does look stunning (thanks to our shaders 😉)

#Cyberpunk2077 #ReShade #VirtualPhotography #MartysMods
A screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 showing a man stood on a street. He's wearing a suit, and has his hands together. The shot is poorly composed, and has no ReShade applied. A screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 of the same man in the previous shot. Now it's a well-composed portrait, focusing on his face. ReShade effects have been used, and he appears more vibrant and clear, with a blurred background.

Which hemisphere's weather are you enjoying at the moment?

We've been touring #TheSims4 to test out our #ReShade shaders, and can't decide between the sun or the snow 🌞❄️

A screenshot from The Sims 4 showing an overhead view of a bay. In the centre is a beautiful azure bay of water. In the distance are steep cliffs and a small village. In the foreground is a lighthouse sat at the end of a peninsula. It is vibrant and calm. A screenshot from The Sims 4 showing a snowy landscape. There is a large golden statue of a mascot with its arm raised in greeting, and it stands in front of the entrance to a ski slope. It is snowing, the sky is grey, and it probably feels cold.

Those of us in the northern hemisphere could do with a glimpse of spring about now. How about settling for this warm and vibrant transformation of South of Midnight?

Check out the blue, and cool-toned before and warm and cosy after comparision -> imgsli.com/NDM5MDQy

#ReShade #VirtualPhotography
A screenshot from South of Midnight showing a forest scene. Large trees frame the image, and in the foreground is green grass with pink flowers. A path leads us through the scene, towards what looks like an abandoned structure of some kind, shrouded in fog in the distance

The transformation of this shot really makes a big impact! You can see how the lighting is completely altered, and therefore the mood is too. Thank you for sharing it!

I completely agree, ReLight is great not only for portraits:

That's the beauty of shaders like ReLight and RTGI. It doesn't matter what preset you're using, or if you're not using any at all, those two shaders alone are enough to elevate any scene ✨

We hope you're still enjoying using them!

Ok, Relight + RTGI is excellent.
I wish I had downloaded it earlier. Now I can enjoy high-quality lighting even without any special presets.

ReLight always seems to be the star of the show in portraits!

Let's go for portraits.

ReLight of course features heavily in most of these shots, and I almost always use ReGrade+ and Solaris

WHAT I FIND ---> WHAT I MAKE

The car is the star ✨ brought to life with ReGrade+, RTGI, ReLight, Solaris, PTVL, and Depth of Field blur 📸

#Cyberpunk2077 #ReShade #VirtualPhotography #MartysMods
A screenshot in 4:5 from Cyberpunk 2077. It's a busy street scene with lots of cars. In the front is a tan-coloured car, driving over an animated neon display set into the road. The colours are relatively neutral, somewhat flat, not bad by any means but nothing really pops. The composition is standard, just capturing all the cars as they queue on the road. At the top in bold white lettering are the words WHAT I FIND, and in the bottom right is a Marty's Mods logo. A 4:5 screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077. Featured is the same tan-coloured car as in the previous shot, but this time it has been composed to focus more directly on it, making it the star of the show. ReShade has been used to alter colours, as well as adding RTGI for global illumination and shadowing, ReLight to add a blue glow in the car's interior, depth of field blur helps bring the car forward so the background isn't distracting, and it also looks as if there may be Solaris bloom and PTVL fog at work too. The colours are more vibrant than in the earlier version, and the scene feels more dynamic and interesting. At the top in bold white text are the words WHAT I MAKE, and in the bottom right is the Marty's Mods logo.
