CLEAR BLOOM – ReShade for TS4 by amoebae
Clear Bloom was initially created to take advantage of my Full Bloom MultiLUT atlas, and to provide a clear and colourful, but soft, preset that looks good in all worlds.
Album of screenshots using Clear Bloom.
Since the release of Seasons, it is quite difficult to create stylised ReShade presets that look good at all times in all worlds in all weathers, because the lighting can vary so dramatically.
Clear Bloom is intended to be a hands-on preset. I have set up quite a few different effects that can be turned on or off in different locations to get the most out of just one preset. If you don’t like opening the ReShade GUI and turning effects on and off (or using the provided keybinds) this may not be for you.
A list of tips & tricks on how to use Clear Bloom is included in the download in a Read Me file.
The most important thing to note is that there are 4 LUTs from the Full Bloom MultiLUT atlas that I have used in my screenshots and built the preset around. They are: Capella, Catria, Gorgon, and mPhantom. I list some examples of which I prefer in which world in the Read Me file, but you can of course experiment and use any you like.
THINGS TO DOWNLOAD
amoebae - Clear Bloom ReShade (includes preset ini file, as well as several modified or unavailable shaders)
ReShade 3.4.1
Official Shaders for ReShade 3.4.1
qUINT Shaders for ReShade 3.4.1
INSTALLATION
Please follow these steps precisely in this order (note: if you already have ReShade 3.4.1 installed you can skip to step 3):
Install ReShade 3.4.1 by running the ReShade_Setup_3.4.1.exe and following the instructions. Say ‘Yes’ to download the current shaders so it sets up the correct paths for you (we will overwrite them with the shaders for 3.4.1 in the next step)
Place the reshade-shaders folder from the main 3.4.1 shaders you downloaded above into your Bin folder
Place the Shaders folder from the qUINT shaders you downloaded above into your reshade-shaders folder that is now in your Bin folder
Place the reshade-shaders folders from my Clear Bloom download into your Bin folder
Place amoe - Clear Bloom.ini in your Bin folder
Say 'Yes’ whenever prompted to merge any folders and replace any files (some are modified versions of official shaders, which is why you need to install in this order).
To be able to use all the depth based shaders you need to make sure Edge Smoothing is turned OFF in your TS4 graphics settings.
To get the same look with MXAO as I do, you need to put the following lines in the Preprocessor Definitions box, which is in the Settings tab of the ReShade GUI:
MXAO_MIPLEVEL_AO=0
MXAO_MIPLEVEL_IL=2
MXAO_ENABLE_IL=1
MXAO_SMOOTHNORMALS=1
MXAO_TWO_LAYER=1
You also need to make sure this line appears like this (if there is a 1 instead, change it to a 0 like here):
RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0
If you have any problems, either with installation or using Clear Bloom, please let me know via Ask or Message.
If you see an error regarding the MagicBloom shader, go into your reshade-shaders>Shaders folder and delete it because Clear Bloom doesn’t use it.
I would love to see your screenshots using Clear Bloom, so feel free to tag me @pictureamoebae.
