Real Light - ReShade Preset by Solano

Recommended Posts

Yeah I know - sadly Shadowplay isn't an option for me either (AMD GPU), so I guess I'll have to live with blurry movements. ^^'

Even Dslyecxi's videos suffer from it, so I guess there aren't much to be done...

I mean it is the same codec. Why does this happen...

Anyway - I can give you my settings for OBS if you are interested. Took me a day to find these and you can save the time (and everyone else who´s interested).

I am. :)

Thanks mate!

Here you go.

 

You can always increase the max bitrate over 15.000. More than 20.000 is not very different anymore in quality but in file size.

Hope you can profit from this.

 

Cheers

 

EDIT

 

Oh and "qp=21" in the command line is important. The lower the better the quality. 16 is insanely good and (big as well).

I tried uploading some non edited Shadowplay footage of the Rich LUT to youtube to see how bad my compression was... 

FS it pixelates in motion but when I watch in windowed its pretty smooth.

Thanks for the reference cosmic.

 

This is exactly what I get with my videos.

Clear images with less to no movement. But moving just creats giant blocks.

I don´t know what this black magic of shadowplay has for settings but it seems that my example vid of evil organ had some different settings inside Shadowplay I would guess.

 

It is really stupid that movement looks so crappy - for me there is no benefit of making videos with LUTs for you guys if the look and feel WHILE moving isn´t there in my vids - it is more efficient to me to stick to images then unfortunately. I really would love to make videos with all LUTs to make it even easier to choose for you guys but jeah... 

Thanks again cosmic.

 

Don´t get me wrong - your video is absolutely enjoyable - for me I would just like to have perfection. Especially after I saw the absolutely flawless quality of Evil Organs demo video. His video looks like my raw footage played locally on my pc.

 

MAYBE Youtube is enhancing your video while I rant here tho. We maybe just see kind of a preview already while in the background it gets processed - idk

Oh and I just saw that you wrote "Reshade by Solano" on your video description.

ReShade is by a few other guys named: crosire (ReShade developer), Lucifer Hawk (GemFX developer), CeeJay.dk (SweetFX developer), Marty McFly (MasterEffect/McFX developer), Ioxa and JPulowski.

I made a preset for it called Real Light

 

Don´t get me wrong - I am no stuffy old man but there was some dialogue with the ReShade guys in the past about crediting and I just want to keep clear who gets it and what for.

 

Cheers

I'll edit the description of the vid when I get home so no confusion arises... I'll ask EO about that footage too and what he did.

I just downloaded RICh-very nice! Can we change LUT's while in-game?Or do I need to restart to launch a different LUT?(I'm trying out a few today).Also-what does LUT stand for? ;)

LUTs (Lookup Tables) are in this case color palettes which are used to recolor the game.

The Unreal Engine uses this technology. It is daily business in Movie Editing and Photography as well.

 

Jeah you can change them while even being ingame. No restart required.

Sometimes - but that is really rare - you get an error although you typed everything correct. ONLY then you need to restart.

 

If it doesn´t apply the new scheme after tabbing back into the running game - try to fill in some blanks or tabs in an empty line of the CustomFX.cfg and save it again. If the file size changes by that ReShade will reload itself for sure then.

LUTS-That makes sense now ;D.Thanks for the quick reply-i'm going to try the 3 versions of RICH now. I think the highest one may be a little "Rich" for me hehehhe

Jeah - rich.png is really rich. I use rich-.png myself.

 

Since there are so many different display calibrations out there I hope I can cover most them up with these three versions.

Whats too much contrast for one person (and display) can be too less for the other one and so on...

Ok Solano... I talked to EO and that vid was native Shadowplay in 1080p directly uploaded to youtube which is what I did.

 

Now here is the rub... I just used my phone to watch my vid thru the youtube app.

 

Perfection... no pixelation in motion at all when running. 

 

Ive been fiddling around with the shadowplay settings... tell me if the pixelation is better or worse here?

It seems better in the video above.

In your first one you can see the grass and sometimes tree areas just really block together in little motion moments.

The new video has less of that.

It´s good quality overall no question. Just for comparison this is my youtube result of absolutely flawless and til then nearly uncompressed h.264 mp4 footage:

Quick question, why do the effects of real light not reflect when I take a screenshot with steam or record with OBS? 

 

Thanks is advance!

Its got something to do with the way steam takes screenshots, it doesnt detect the new layer of color that Real Light adds onto the game. Havent heard of OBS, but its probably the same thing. If you have an Nvidia card, I recommend using Shadowplay from Nvidia for both recording and taking screenshots as it manages to "see" the new layer added by Real Light.

 

Its included with the Geforce Experience app.

Steam takes the shot of the game before the ReShade Layer applies.

You have to use PrintScreen Key. Your shots will be where your Arma3.exe is then as PNG File. This is the ReShade Screenshot feature and the look will be applied to those shots then.

 

For OBS I recommend to play Arma in Fullscreen Borderless Window and record the Monitor with OBS. That will work for sure.

Theres a tool to force this: http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/

Actually, because I have and AMD card, I started to use AMD gaming evolved as it is somewhat equivalent to Nvidia's Shadowplay. Realshade now works perfectly :D

 

Hopefully other AMD GPU users find this info useful

New ReShade 1.1 is out. Did you try new version Solano :now:

 

Yep I did. No need to change for you who already got ReShade with Real Light running. Besides to good old saying "never change a running system" there is really no need and benefit to upgrade for you guys.

 

Cheers
