[Description]
Default Elite Dangerous is very pretty but I wanted a more cinematic sci fi look with the help of ReShade post process injector.
But I also wanted to change the in-game graphics with .xml tweaks, giving the game a more personal look with customized HUD and a tweaked galaxy background (32bit ONLY).
[Features]
Personal ReShade configuration based on binary version 1.1.
Contains:
- SMAA
- Bloom
- HDR
- Technicolor
- Reinhard linear
- Luma Sharpen
- Chromatic Abberation
- Film grain
- Color corrections with added blues
- Gaussian Lens flare
- Custom lens flare (see screenshot below)
- Custom Lens dirt texture (disabled)
- Classic anamorphic flare
- Barrel Distortion (see additional screenshots for explanations or Google it) (Disabled)
- Depth of Field*
- Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)*
*Effects works best in Debug Camera Mode
(For 32bit ONLY)
Personal GraphicsConfiguration.xml file. For now the tweaks are only available for Ultra setting in-game.
Tweaks:
- Reduced in-game bloom
- Reverted values for Milky Way surrounding nebula (credits Sparkam, without him this preset wouldn't look the same)
- Blue HUD
[Requirements]
- Reshade is a post process injector and any effects added to the game will automatically cost performance (depending on the effect's quality and complexity) so a decent computer is always good
- Some willing-to-learn attitude - I won't be able to answer everything
[Installation]
- Download the suite for 32bit here: Development stopped
- Download the ReShade config for 64bit here: Development stopped
- Backup your GraphicsConfiguration.xml and store it somewhere safe
- Copy the downloaded file and paste it in your Elite Dangerous folder (basically where EliteDangerous32.exe is), typically C:\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1010\
- Right click and choose "Extract here..."
- Done!
