Preset description:

My Global Games Instructions List: -Download the latest ReShade -Install on game.exe using DirectX 9 -Check “Download all effects” during setup -Disable any In-Game Anti-Aliasing, Bloom, or Ambient Occlusion we use our own -If Bars are out of place due to resolution, press home go to letterbox & Uncheck it. -Have Fun :) --------------------------------------------- This preset enhances Perimeter (2004) with cinematic visuals, offering improved depth, subtle sharpening, and high-quality effects. It showcases the game's terraforming mechanics and strategic gameplay while keeping the UI clear and unobtrusive. With enhanced ambient occlusion, soft blooms, and a refined color balance, this preset creates a beautifully immersive experience. --------------------------------------------- Effects (A-Z): AdaptiveTonemapper.fx ArtisticVignette.fx CAS.fx Curves.fx DepthHaze.fx DLAA_Plus.fx FakeHDR.fx FilmGrain.fx GaussianBloom.fx Letterbox.fx LiftGammaGain.fx MartysMods_MXAO.fx --------------------------------------------- What we do? Our presets are carefully crafted and tested on a calibrated 3440x1440 VA Panel Monitor paired with a RTX 3060ti and Ryzen 5600x. Visual effects may still vary depending on your resolution, monitor color calibration and rig. ChatGPT Reason Mode was instructed with the game description, pictures plus every existent shader (to my knowledge) to really pick only the best for what we aim and our games gameplay. Each effect is then calibrated after based on their own options and values that we wrote in a giant document (over 100 shader effects transcripted by now), after that we use our common sense and vision to ensure the most clean, the highest quality and the best cinematic ambient to ensure visual consistency across the board. Ideal for fans of 2004 games seeking nostalgia with modern visual quality, plus easy plug and play as the only games i pick are really those who can just be injected and run directly, no time to mess around with wrappers and shady stuff. ---------------------------------------------
