RebrightFX For Reshade

Veteran game developer with over 15 years experience working in the games industry.
I spent over half a year in researching and developing RebrightFX, a complex real-time cinematic post effect that can be applied to most digital media (games/film) with Reshade.
I think the time spent was worth it, and I think that Reshade has proven to be a valuable real-time shader graphics research and rapid prototyping development tool.
Currently RebrightFX post effects are being offered as a service, but I am thinking of commercially releasing a standalone version for gamers and film fans if there is enough interest.
I would like to provide some image and video samples of the effects applied to existing games and film and gauge user feedback.
Please leave comments in the thread or email me at [email protected].
Business and employment related offers are welcome.

- REBRIGHTFX -

RebrightFX is a real-time graphics enhancement solution for games, film/shows, 3dcg, animation, artwork and photography.

The effects can enhance the appearance of image sharpness and clarity, illumination and brightness, self contrast shadows, surface details & features, color tone richness and vibrancy, specular shine and more,

Visual perception of depth and distance may also be enhanced in some cases.


- IMAGE SAMPLES - 

RebrightFX image samples are available on Google Drive at:

drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r9pwcHcj...67Qpj?usp=drive_link

Image samples are best viewed full screen in high definition at a minimum of 1080p or higher, 4K is best.

Personal desktop color vibrancy settings will affect the color strength, brightness and appearance of the effect in the samples.


- VIDEO SAMPLES - 

Video samples of the effects applied to games are available on the RebrightFX Youtube channel at:

www.youtube.com/@rebrightfx .

Samples of the effects applied to clips of movies cannot be provided due to strong copyright issues.


- SUPPORTED PLATFORMS - 

RebrightFX shader effects currently work under the shader tool Reshade:
reshade.me/

Support for game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine are planned, but requires additional funding from investors.

NOTE to Reshade Forum Owners / Moderators:
I cannot seem to edit my own post, so writing additional info here.
I would appreciate it if I could edit my own posts in this thread, as I may need to edit/add additional info on my original main post.

I will be posting additional screenshots to my google drive, and posting more vids to youtube in the following month.
Please let me know if there is an issue with google drive access.
I would also like to know from reshade users whether or not they are interested in the results of the shader effects for game and film/video.
I am currently working out a way to distribute it as a protected work to end users of the reshade program.
