Reshade - Dynamic graphics settings

Mrtoobyy

Hey everyone.
I just finished my personal Reshade setting wich I am very proud of! IMO It's one of the best settings out there.
Everyone who use Reshade should really try this as it makes the game looks much better. Let me know if you wonder anything about this.

reminds me TES: Oblivion, with HD textures. Nice work. At least it isn't another reshade with just stupid overcontrast.

I find that "before" screenshots look more realistic than "after".

vestahls

Are you telling me that aside from Minion, there have been ESO mods on Nexus this entire time?

They are also just addons. Don't get your hopes up.

Yep. Just another case of "I'll be happy when everything looks like candy". I play on an OLED screen with HDR turned on, if there's one thing about ESO is that it still looks really good 5 years after launch. Never felt the need for these third party reshaders. But hey, that's just a matter of taste. If OP likes it and is proud, that's cool.

Most of which are apparently old versions of the same add-ons hosted at esoui.com and managed through Minion, but most haven't been updated since 2014 or 2015, so yeah... not the best resource for ESO add-ons.

Wow really? Then it must be the due to the "post aliasing" I made. You could play with just the lighting/contrast settings wich IMO removes the "flat, painted on, non depth" graphics of Vanilla.

Yeah... My goal was never to make it candy looking as you put it. Do you mean more how japanese games look? Maybe it's my screen settings but to me this setting gives the graphic "another dimension"

Fair enough. As you may have guessed, I don't go for oversaturated colours. In a world of anime-inspired fantasy MMOs, I feel ESO's "quieter" graphics are more of a fit for me. In any case, you claim that your settings are more realistic, which suggests some sort of objective improvement that is in fact a matter of taste and opinion, that may be what's getting me and a couple of others to nit pick at your post

I agree with you on that part. That's why I love more of the European fantasy games with the darker vibe and more of a "evil" feel to it. Love nordic nature in games since I am Swedish and it somewhat feels like home. You should by all means nit pick at this That's why I shared it and wanted to see what others think. Maybe I should rename the thread title?

most of these reshades break after an update or completely break your game because theres no proper support. So good luck

hmm I Havent updated mine in couple of years (from esoui) and seems to be working fine. Guess I'm just lucky.

ArchMikem

Say i have bad eyes but to me the colors pop a little bit more, and Sharpen was tuned down.

MartiniDaniels

I won't call it realistic but it certainly looks times better! as for me I'm alright with "unrealistic" Plushenko reshade, it just makes game looks times better. Default gamma/color/filter is awful, even on ultra game looks very plain in open world locations.
So I recommend for anyone to use reshade they like for questing/overland. Difference is insane.

vestahls

Yeah, it certainly does look better. The shadows really do give the world a bit more depth. Good job OP!

Thanks! I agree, It makes distant objects appear farther away wich in turn makes the depth of field more dynamic/cinematic IMO.

Thank you everyone else as well . Make sure you watch the pictures in full size by clickin them otherwise they won't do justice in comparison.
I am changing the name of the setting to "Dynamic graphics" since that would apparently suit it better.


Will update the setting tomorrow with a little tweak that will make this even sweeter!

craybest

i'll give it a try, looks nice on the examples!
edit: i LOVE it so far. changes things not too much but enough to make it look better (IMO) and still like ESO. congratulations!

Only 107... Light weight! 😉

Good job OP, just a bit too much blur effect per my personal taste.

The "After" images have way too much blur, the loss of detail is very obvious and makes them look worse.

Morgha_Kul

All I see is added blur.

Thank you. The in game AA is activated in all the pics. Try disable it and see if suits you better.

Thanks man! That was my main goal, even though it's really easy to make it look even better than this setting but it won't look like ESO and it will ruin the in game menus.

I'll try fiddling with the blur/sharpen when I'm off work. Have you tried it in game? I can't fathom how anyone who used it still won't see more than just the blur change?

Mrtoobyy

I don't know how to delete my posts so sorry for the double post this will make

Just wanted to thank everyone for both the kind words and the constructive criticism. I realize the choice to balance out the blur/sharpen effect was needed so I tweaked the setting today for improvement. Removed the old images and added new ones for you to see.

I hope you will try the setting and enjoy it!
