CINEMATIC PIXEL VORTEX
Introduction:
The CPV - ReShade Preset is designed to improve your gaming experience by removing the unesthetic yellow tint, adding subtle sharpening to optimize the blurry image and also eliminating the undesireable color banding in the sky. The CPV-Preset also adds letterbox bars ( which can be turned on/off ) to create a more cinematic and immersive gaming experience.
Features:
Tint Removal: Gets rid of the yellow tint, resulting in more natural and balanced colors.
Sharpening: Enhances texture details and overall image clarity without causing oversharpening artifacts.
MultiLUT.fx Shader Integration: This feature allows you to apply a variety of LUTs (Look-Up Tables) in real time,
providing a wide range of color grading options.
Cinematic Experience: adjusts lighting and color settings, also includes letterboxing to provide a movie-like visual feel.
Performance Variants: Three different versions tailored for high-end, mid range, and low-end PCs to ensure optimal performance on
various hardware setups.
Afternoon Sun Texture: a custom sun texture improving the look and atmosphere. (See Recommended mods section below for another Afternoon Sun Texture)
(Unfortunately the HUD elements in game are partially covered yet visible while using the letterbox bars, you need to hide/reveal the HUD elements by pressing key "V" and activate/deactivate letterboxing by pressing key "B". If that´s inconvenient, just don´t use it.)
