ReShade
This is a generic post-processing injector for games and video software. It exposes an automated way to access both frame color and depth information and a custom shader language called ReShade FX to write effects like ambient occlusion, depth of field, color correction and more which work everywhere.
The ReShade FX shader compiler contained in this repository is standalone, so can be integrated into other projects as well. Simply add all source/effect_*.* files to your project and use it similar to the fxc example.
Building
You'll need Visual Studio 2017 or higher to build ReShade and Python for the gl3w dependency.
- Clone this repository including all Git submodules
- Open the Visual Studio solution
- Select either the "32-bit" or "64-bit" target platform and build the solution (this will build ReShade and all dependencies).
After the first build, a version.h file will show up in the res directory. Change the VERSION_FULL definition inside to something matching the current release version and rebuild so that shaders from the official repository at https://github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders won't cause a version mismatch error during compilation.
