About this mod

This preset uses a blend of cinematic and realistic effects to replicate the gritty, immersive feel of footage.

Permissions and credits
Each shader contributes to the final image in a unique way:
  • GaussianBlur – Adds subtle lens softness and motion haze, simulating real-world camera imperfections.
  • FakeHDR – Boosts contrast and depth, giving the scene a punchier, more dynamic look.
  • LiftGammaGain – Fine-tunes shadows, midtones, and highlights to enhance the realism of lighting.
  • LumaSharpen – Restores clarity lost to post-processing by sharpening only the brightness layer.
  • Bonus LUT Pack – Applies custom color grades for a moody, documentary-style color palette.
  • Selective Color – Adjusts specific color channels to push the cold, desaturated bodycam aesthetic.
  • Tonemap – Balances overall exposure and saturation, ensuring a clean cinematic baseline.
  • Vibrance – Adds subtle life to muted colors without over-saturating the entire image.
  • Vignette – Darkens screen edges to mimic cheap lens vignetting and focus the eye.
  • LevelsPlus – Compresses color and light range for a stylized filmic tone curve.
  • PerfectPerspective – Adds lens distortion and slight warping, giving a wide-angle camcorder look.
  • VHS_RA – Simulates analog tracking artifacts for an old-school or corrupted bodycam feel.
  • MotionBlur – Creates dynamic blur trails on movement, enhancing realism during fast actions.
  • CustomOverlay – Adds visual elements like HUDs or static textures to simulate screen overlays.
  • AdaptiveSharpen – Smart sharpening that respects lighting and detail, enhancing realism without overdoing it.
  • ChromaticAberration – Adds slight color fringing at screen edges, mimicking cheap lens artifacts.
  • Bloom – Subtle light bloom from bright areas for added softness and glow.
  • AmbientLight – Simulates advanced global lighting with lens effects and color bleeding.
  • Clarity – Enhances micro-contrast for a more textured and defined look.
  • FilmicSharpen – A film-inspired sharpening filter that avoids harsh digital sharpness.
