Lighting the way with RTGI and ReLight in #OblivionRemastered ✨

Take a look at the before and after of this shader showcase 👉 imgsli.com/NDMwNjU5

#VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A screenshot from Oblivion Remastered showing the player character, an elven woman, standing in a dungeon. There is a brazier on the left wall, and rubble and broken walls all around. The scene has a warm orange glow and is well-lit despite the impression of darkness.

WHAT I FIND ---> WHAT I MAKE

ReLight isn't just for dramatic portraits. It also helps bring a scene to life by making the existing lighting ✨shine✨

#Cyberpunk2077 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A before screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 showing two men sat at a food stall, and another man behind the counter. The scene is shown as it would be if you stumbled across it in-game, it isn't well-composed, and the colours are fine but a little flat and dull. An after screenshot of the same scene as in the previous picture. This time it has been properly composed to view the stall and the men straight-on. The colours are richer and more defined, and the lighting is more dynamic, adding to the atmosphere.

A screenshot from The Last of Us II video game, showing an abandoned truck in a dense forest. The atmosphere is dark and moody, and the only light in the scene is shining dimly on the truck. The truck is white and red, and stands out amidst the thick green foliage and fog.

It's Sims Saturday! 💚

Check out the before/after to see the effect that ReGrade+, RTGI, Solaris, Depth of Field, and (of course) ReLight had on this screenshot 👉 imgsli.com/NDI4ODkz

#TS4 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A screenshot from The Sims 4 showing a Sim with orange hair standing in a living room space. The camera is angled from above. The atmosphere is cosy, with orange light coming from the left, and a cooler blue light coming from the right. In the foreground, hanging baskets with plants are blurred. In the background there's a cat, just standing around, being a cat.

VPers are living through a golden age. Excellent camera tools from Otis, and *ahem* excellent shaders from, well, you know 👀

Cool release!

What can you do when your game blocks the standard method of injecting ReShade? You can force it!

We've made a video to show you how to use Crosire's ReShade injector to manually inject ReShade into those awkward games 👇

The backstreets of Night City never looked so good 📸

#Cyberpunk2077 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A 'before' screenshot of a 24 hour laundry in Cyberpunk 2077. The colours are what you would expect to find in game, and the shot hasn't been properly composed. The 'after' shot of the same scene as the previous picture, a 24 hour laundry in Cyberpunk 2077. The shot has been composed properly, focusing directly on the storefront. The colours have been changed using ReGrade+ to be more vibrant and red in tone, with the teal green of the inside of the store poking through a grilled window. Other shaders that have been used are RTGI and ReLight for more realistic and dramatic lighting, and Solaris for bloom, which is especially noticeable around the neon store sign at the top.

You wouldn't know from his face, but Kratos approves of how stunning we've made him look ✨

Glad to hear you're finding it useful!

It's easy to forget when we're focused on virtual photography that sometimes all you need is the right handful of shaders just to improve what's already there, and we try to make sure we have plenty of those as well as the fancier stuff like RTGI and ReLight!

I feel like I can't play Cities: Skylines I and II without Pascal Gilcher's iMMERSE Sharpen shader. And though it can be done through the Nvidia app and Nvidia Control Panel, I've forced 16x anisotropic filtering through Special K. I've used the Rendepth ReShade shader with my Quest 2 with it.

Aloy Aloy shadermates!

#HorizonForbiddenWest never looked so good 😍

A screenshot from Horizon Forbidden West featuring a portrait in widescreen of Aloy. She's wearing a yellow and white striped bandana, a yellow scarf, and is looking over to the left. She's illuminated by a bright light, while the background is an atmospheric night scene.

😍

ReLight is a big favourite in our team, we love to see it at work 💡

Experiment with the ambient intensity setting at the top too. It pulls down the ambient light leaving behind the lights from ReLight. It can be as subtle or dramatic as you want, but it can make a big difference to a shot!

See, I knew it was user error. I got Relight to look amazing - as expected, because it's outstanding. It's ✨JUST✨ enough to make a huge difference when it comes to lighting in screenshots. Ideal for thumbnails, etc.

WHAT I FIND ---> WHAT I MAKE

#Cyberpunk2077 #VirtualPhotography #ReShade #MartysMods
A screenshot of a street scene from Cyberpunk 2077. It's night, and a large man with a bald head is walking along. There are neon signs behind him, and railings to his right (our left). There is trash on the floor. The scene is typical of what you would see when playing the game. There is no ReShade applied. Text at the bottom reads WHAT I FIND. A screenshot from Cyberpunk 2077 showing a close portrait of the same man from the previous screenshot. Lights are reflected in his glasses, and a neon cherry tree is bright and blurred in the background behind him. The overall tones are pink and blue-teal. ReShade effects have been applied, making the image feel more polished and vibrant. Text at the bottom reads WHAT I MAKE.

Not quite ready to give up on spooky season? We've got you covered 🩻

Star of the show, apart from Emmrich of course, is our ReLight shader, adding a touch of the hocus pocus 🪄

See it in action with a before-after: imgsli.com/NDI2Mzg4

A screenshot from Dragon Age The Veilguard. Featured is a portrait of Emmrich Volkarin, a man who looks a little like Vincent Price. He is staring at a dismembered hand, which is floating in front of him bathed in magical green light.

Lights?

I'm just saying... 💡👀
A screenshot from the Marty's Mods website page for ReLight. It shows a debug scene with 3 light orbs in different colours, perfectly illuminating the geometry around them. The text at the top says "RELIGHT, PATH TRACED LIGHT STUDIO FOR RESHADE"
