Preset description:

Cinematic A.F. ReShade uses the amazing ReShade 3.0.7 framework to add tons of cinematic effects and coloring to Far Cry 4, including: Film grain, bloom, lens flares, HDR lighting, ambient light and so much more. Full list of effects needed are: HDR, Technicolor2, Tonemap, Clarity, Film Grain, AdaptiveSharpen, Border, BloomAndLensFlares, AmbientLight, Vignette, Levels, Vibrance, GaussianBlur, Colorfulness Effects that are set up to be toggled: Film grain - 3 Cinematic Letterboxing - 0 Colorfullness - 9 on numberpad (off by default) Vibrance - 8 on numberpad Sharpening - 5 Bloom and Lens flares - 6 (probably have to disable in snow) Ambient light - 4 INSTALLING Download the latest version of ReShade 3.0+ from here: https://reshade.me/ Run the .exe that you just downloaded. Probably best to copy it to your desktop or someone first outside your downloads folder. Follow the steps it tells you selecting yes everything it asks. Download my preset by hitting the button below and rename the file to "anythingyouwant.ini". The most important part is changing the ".txt" file to ."ini." Put the file in your game's "bin" folder where "FarCry4.exe" is located. Run your game, don't touch anything while reshade loads its effects. Open ReShade menu with "shift+f2" and use the drop down menu to select the .ini file you just put in your bin folder. Keep hitting the continue button until the boxes turn from red to grey/clear. Done. Profit! Toggle the effects with scroll-lock, by default. Use the ReShade's "settings" menu to change the controls for opening the reshade menu, toggling the entire preset on and off and setting up screenshots. All pics are with the enhanced godray option on. Probably will look bad with the volumetric fog option enabled, so do enhanced or godrays off in the game's options menu. Shoot metal ;) MY MODS FOR OTHER GAMES Exhaustive List Here, constantly updating it as I make new ReShades: https://www.facebook.com/MercsAssassin/ To save you a couple clicks, I try to keep the below list updated too: ASSASSIN'S CREED ORIGINS -- Cinematic Enhancer: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/8521/ SKYRIM SPECIAL EDITION RESHADES -- Live Action Trailer Graphics, The Dragonborn Comes, a ReShade for Vivid Weathers: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9990/? -- Dovahkiin Rising ReShade for Dolomite Weathers: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9942? -- Dragon Breaker ReShade, a Bright and Bold Look for Vivid Weathers: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9991/? -- Skyrim SE Ashen ReShade: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9060/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrimspecialedition%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D9060%26preview%3D&pUp=1 -- MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA RESHADES -- Cinematic Realism: http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/2/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fmasseffectandromeda%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D2%26preview%3D&pUp=1 -- Neon Bomb: http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/4? -- FALLOUT 4 RESHADES -- Cinematic Realism: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23442/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout4%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D23442%26preview%3D&pUp=1 -- DIRT RALLY RESHADE -- https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7323/ DIRT 4 RESHADES -- Cinematic Racing Project: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7333/ -- Cinematic Racing Project (Vibrant Version): https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7348/ MAD MAX ReShades -- Cinematic Excellence: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7434/ -- Cinematic Excellence (Bleak Version): https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7438/ GHOST RECON WILDLANDS RESHADES -- Stunning Light & Atmospherics [newest ReShade] - https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7525/ -- Cinematic Excellence 2.0 ReShade (best neutral enhancer with lots of options) - http://www.nexusmods.com/ghostreconwildlands/mods/1/? -- E3 2015 Graphics - more realistic, cold ReShade, inspired by E3 2015 trailers for the game with a more gray look - http://www.nexusmods.com/ghostreconwildlands/mods/2? -- Borderlands-style Oil Painting ReShade - https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7175/ -- Uncharted-looking ReShade - https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7115/ -- Sun Soaked Graphics Overhaul - insane lighting amplifier.
