Grim Dawn - Reshade (DPX) example 2

Overall I like the Reshade effect, but think the brightness needs a minor reduction. I still like it as a whole better than native it just looks a lot more natural on the scene lighting, shading, and color.


A bit of a update to above examples with a little less brightness two examples of it that shows how darker scene can look the second one really highlights how it can impact scene lighting and shading. Feel free to tell me you can see the difference. All done with a pixel shader based around Kodak Cineon DPX technology that was developed in the 90's for photography imagery and used by Disney for example to restore old films like Snow White. The hardware for Cindeon DPX was quite interesting they had quad cores back then, but the systems cost like $250K or something insane. Technology has leveled up a little bit since then.

Death stranding.
Sound track is depressing though

Gave it a try yesterday - it's fun and addictive. Do you get anything for buying the shares from Uncle Tim or have I just wasted $5000?

Haven't earned that much yet. I'll continue soon :)
 
Following our wedding on Friday, we spent most of Saturday clearing up and munching on wedding cake and other delicacies. Yesterday we went for a breezy walk by the River Plate and I spent the rest of the day getting frustrated with Alan Wake and its checkpoints, so moved on to Battlefield One and then Five, managing to get past where I had been stuck before. There's nothing quite like blowing up a Nazi munitions dump with a sniper rifle! Highly cinematic games, both of them, but lots of fun if you know what to expect.

I see the difference, but I don't see how the added brightness is an improvement at all. You've just reduced the overall contrast of the image. Are you sure its not mainly your personal preference in combination with the monitor you're using? I can see how the darkest tones of black could do with more 'standing out' if you need to see those details, but the whole point of Grim Dawn's darkness (as in any classic ARPG) is exactly that: not seeing things. Its the reason light radius is a stat you can improve, too.

Basically what I see here is a Black Filter like they sell with FPS modes on monitors. Definitely not an improvement in accuracy or playing the game as its meant to - to me at least. Other elements like the UI seem washed out now.

10-bit IPS display though the reshade configuration is heavily based around 8-bit color space 0-255 in mind. I do agree in part with what you say especially in regard to the light radius in fact with the reshade configuration it makes the light radius effect more readily obvious in pleasant way in motion. I find it overall a lot more natural looking from a lighting standpoint myself. I do agree that it could probably be adjust further to be reduce the brightness further though, but I did want a minor contrast lift and actually with my display's gamma I can simply turn the gamma up from 1.8 to something like 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4. That said my pane had better color calibrate around 1.8gamma with lagom test images.

House of Ashes. Played the whole thing in coop. This is one of the best games of the year. What a superb adventure
 
Ive been playing a bunch of WRC9
really good game Surprising Improvement over WRC8
I keep losing awesome screenshots cause of Nvideas Drivers being Bad
 
Finished Rage 2 'base game only', put in a good ~35 hours or so since I did a fair ammount of side activities.
Have to say this is an underrated game imo, had a blast playing it.
Its a mad crazy game but its fun imo.:D 'good gun play and the skills are pretty cool/fun to use'

Now to play another EPIC freebie I had around and something I was curious about for a good while.
Control, base game again cause that was free.

For now its kinda confusing but I'm only at the beginning of the game.

This is what I meant. Take that, Nazis!

Just finished Far Cry 6 it's better than the last few imho. The game play is more refined not one bug and the story is better. If Cyberpunk 2077 played like this it would have been more well received...heck, if most of the first person shooters were this refined it would be an improvement.

I'm addicted to RE3 Remake :laugh: played it over 20 times, cleared all the achievements and I want to play it again. With which rules? Nightmare, buffs but no other weapons than Samurai Edge?

Could do. :cool:

Damn, I guess u get scared easily, RE3 Remake has few good jumpscares but IMO it ain't scary, RE2 Remake is... :D
 
Oddly enough, the older I get, the less I can tolerate really creepy games, so I enjoy the more stealthy shooters and Far Cry type games. I just don't like stuff creeping up behind me :)
DX MD is one of my favourites, so I've just started on the DLC missions and also a new Game +, like Shadow TR, where you get to keep all your kit when starting a new game.
 
Lena:Bridge of spirits. Just getting started.
 
Finishing off Call of Duty Cold war till Vanguard comes then going back to Ghost Recon Wildlands to calm down a bit after mutlipayer
