Wild Hunt Adaptive ReShade
**I can't believe this is at 200+ endorsements
and
made the August File of the Month list!!
I can't thank you all enough for your amazing support.**Really, thank you modding community!
Thank you for coming by to check out my newest ReShade!
Thank you to those that have taken the time to download, provide feedback and endorse.
This is a ReShade that adapts to your location in game. Presets have been made for
White Orchard
Skellige
Toussaint
Kaer Morhen
Velen/Novigrad/Oxenfurt
Vizma Castle
This ReShade will detect your location in game an automatically change the reshade for that locations.
Pretty awesome! Right??
You will need this mod as well Different SFX/ReShade Preset for Each Location
This is for ReShade 1.1.
With this reshade just like my other reshade Wild Hunt Re-Imagined I have taken the time to carefully balance out the image of this reshade. I didn't use effects that just bog down your system. Just the effects needed to achieve the image I wanted. Each region has been slightly adjusted to build off of what CDProjectRed already did for the area. I made sure to not overdue saturation or make the shadows look like you are walking the abyss of Hell. Contrast and Gamma were also slightly adjusted to make sure the image has a good balance between dark and bright. Each region I have used a separate LUT that adjusts the color grading for that region. Therefore, each region was tested and adjusted for optimal look. So, with this preset you shouldn't see overblown colors and pitch black shadows. You should find that fires look cozy. Sunsets and Sunrises you will want to stop and look at. Trees and grass will will be a nice shade of green. Interiors will feel warm and inviting. You will find yourself walking the woods of Velen, the farmlands of White Orchard, the mountains of Skellige, the vineyards of Toussaint and your home of Kaer Morhen to just experience the scenery. Feel free to give it a try and see what this has to offer you. I have provided options for Vanilla Lighting as Super Turbo Lighting Mod Lighting.
Disclaimer: I use shadowplay to record clips. I am by no means a good video maker. But, after rendering original video and then letting youtube compression kill it more it may be hard to see the full quality of this preset. Give it a try is always best. Also, monitor calibration comes into play as well. Everyone's monitor is gonna make this look different. I play on a Dell 27" s2716g G-Sync Gaming Monitor. I have taken the time to make things looked balance on that monitor. Your experience may differ.

Thank you very much Thank you very much
Thanks to Ultimate Immersion for this video
Disclaimer: I really haven't had time to take a lot of screenshots. So as always screenshots may not be the best way to experience the preset. As always, download and give it a try. But, for now here you go. Again, your monitor will have an impact on overall look.

-- DanteInHell --
Looks damn cool! Just what I needed.
-- ziraelxx --
This is one of the best reshades I have ever seen. No comparision to all those cinematic/E3/VGX/realistic presets that are over exposed with sharpen and over/undersaturated
-- Moherek --
Awesome job man, really well done
-- fnexus --
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. You obviously put a lot of time into crafting each area's look and mood....I truly thank you!
-- vaikinglee --
Thank you for this amazing reshade, have a preset for each region is wonderful.
-- Boric123 --
Thank you for this amazing preset...it has taken over as my favorite reshade and won't be playing without it again.
-- stellifygamer --
Thank you for this Firemanaf. I have tried many of Sweetfx and ReShade for Witcher 3 and was never really completely satisfied but, with your reshade and the fact using Different SFX to vary by location is a WIN in my book....it looks very nice in game not distracting. It feels right!
-- PCG4m3r --
I wanted to compliment you for your great work, this is simply amazing. Way better than any other presets I have tried
-- TheLory --
First of all let me say thank you. The experience I have received due to the visual enhancements of this mod is like having your first cup of perfectly-brewed coffee. It's quite indescribable.
-- Boskotheserb --
I really can not get over how good this game looks with this preset! I never used a reshade before for this game cause they always seem out of place. This one truly deserves the crown!

Make sure to follow step by step. My mod has to be installed after Different ReShade Presets for Each Location Mod
You will need Different ReShade Presets for Each Location Mod

FYI, his mod does use scripts to detect location. Make sure to run Script Merger just in case. I had no conflicts with any mods that I use. So, you should be ok.

Want to have a way to adjust your graphic settings beyond Ultra? Such as Supreme, Ultimate or even Extreme level? Want to be able to automatically adjust to those settings via in game graphic settings without manually adjust your ini settings every time?
Check out my other my other mod Supreme to Extreme Graphics Options
1. ReShade I can't adjust setting based on particular weather or time of day. Sorry.
2. ReShade may cause Steam overlay not to work
3. If you find d3d11 does not work for you try renaming to dxgi
4. If you want to disable the follow effects outside of using hotkey here is how. (Full Quality Version)
Note: You will have to do this for every preset location.
-
Open LocationPresets folder
-
Choose location

FXAA- Make #define USE_FXAA 1 to #define USE_FXAA 0
Lumasharpen- Make #define USE_LUMASHARPEN 1 to #define USE_LUMASHARPEN 0
HDR- Make #define USE_HDR 1 to #define USE_HDR 0

Your monitor will have an impact on over all look. I can't calibrate reshade for every monitor. I play on a TN monitor. So my blacks are not as dark as a IPS monitor, for example. But, always try to make sure your monitor is calibrated as best you can. You can use these to help.
Black Test
White Test -
If you find to dark or to bright you can adjust (you will need to do this for every location.
-
See Issue #4 on how to get to sweetfx file
-
Then under tonemap lower #define Gamma (to make brighter) or increase #define Gamma (to make darker
CD Project Red for creating this outstanding game, easily in my top 3
