A new ReShade preset that emulates the look and feel of a VHS tape for Cyberpunk 2077 is earning plaudits on social media. The grainy, analog-tape-worn scenes shown in an embedded sample video on Reddit (below) make this graphically stunning game so 1980s-real you start watching for mullets. The preset is the work of Redditor Tulired, who was humble enough to ponder weather “something is missing” and reach out for opinions and ideas for improvement.
Spend few days learning about VHS and decided to make an Reshade preset. Thoughts? from r/LowSodiumCyberpunk
“One day I just started to research into how & what makes VHS look the way it does and after that thought ‘Hey maybe I can try to make Reshade Preset’,” wrote Redditor Tulired earlier this week. they went on to explain that they wanted to go for a more realistic than stylistic visual style. So, they avoided clichéd over-use of mechanical errors and finely balanced “other things like ghosting, chroma bleed / smear, Limited bandwidth for colors, muddy black floor, phosphor trails, NTSC stuff, color noise, blurriness and halo / ringing effect.”
Wiht experience of video in the ReShade Support Arrives in NVIDIA GeForce Experience
NVIDIA has announced that ReShade support is now available within the GeForce Experience request. This integration simplifies the process of applying post-processing effects to games, eliminating the need for manual installation and configuration. If you aren’t familiar, ReShade is an independently produced generic post-processing injector for PCs that works with APIs like DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan. In brief, ReShade acts as a final filter layer upon the game title’s rendered output. Files can be shared that apply certain ReShade recipes with adjustments to visual aspects such as ambient occlusion, depth of field, color, antialiasing, sharpening, blurs, film grain, chromatic aberration, and more. Previously, users had to download ReShade separately and manually configure it for each game. The new GeForce Experience integration streamlines this process, allowing users to discover and apply ReShade presets directly through the application. NVIDIA states that it has worked closely with the ReShade developers to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. The integration offers several benefits, including easy access to a curated library of ReShade presets, automatic configuration for supported games, and performance optimizations. Users can also create and share their own presets with the community. To access ReShade support in GeForce Experience, users need to update to the latest version of the application.The feature is currently available for games that support DirectX 11 or higher. NVIDIA plans to expand support to more games in the future. Worth a lookA ReShade refresher
