ReShade Shenmue & Shenmue II HD

[Hazuki_san]

Hey guys I've been experimenting with ReShade to improve the graphics in Shenmue & Shenmue II HD. I'd love some feedback and suggestions/advice. I'm having trouble getting the depth of field where I want it which is blurring things about 100 meters away from Ryo, it often ends up blurring the hud and characters because it's based on a single point of focus on the screen, in my case I chose Ryo's position during exploration gameplay, when that point of focus is changed the effect is all over the place. The effects also affect the start, option menus and other elements which I'd like to avoid if possible. Any advice would be great. Meanwhile I'll leave a few screenshots and I'd like to know what you think, thanks.

No ReShade

Nice thread I was thinking on doing one myser,

I am experimenting with it too, enabling Screen Space Ambient Oclussion makes whole lot of a difference it gives the game graphics more depth I higily recomend it, that and Ambien light alone will skyrocket the visual quality, but you can go crazy with postproccesing effects (like I do xD)

I'll post some of my screenshots too,I like overdone postprocessing so be kind with my screenshots.

where can I download the reshade files for shenmue HD？

 

[Esppiral]

Download Reshade from here.

Thanks for sharing Esppiral, I do like 'overdone' post processing too, what I found is if I go too far with it it will give you problems in other scenes or conditions.

rikiyo1985 You can use my configuration if you want that look without going through all the work of fine tuning it. If you've never done this after installing ReShade in the Shenmue or Shenmue II folders where the exe is located paste the text file I attached and rename the extension from .txt to .ini the .exe can be found in "Steam\steamapps\common\SMLaunch\sm1".

thank you very much.

You're welcome. Meanwhile I tweaked a config for Shenmue 2 which seems to benefit from a slightly different approach.

I love playing with reshade...
I managed to find a reshade 3.x version of watch dog shader witch make it look a lot more realistic.

@Fabiusco Could you link that preset? It looks really nice

 

[Hazuki_san]

Cool man, it's interesting to see how we all went for different styles. Should create a library for people who want to shop around for different configs.

Wow, these shots look amazing.

Sure, but I'm still tweeking it.
It may be sometime too bright in some indoor locations.
Anyway, after you installed Reshade, put the *.fx file in the shader folder created during Reshade installation.
and the *.ini file in the same folder of Shenmue.exe.

 

[BlueJay9]

Awesome, thank you

 

[Fabiusco]

Awesome, thank you

Oh, I forgot to mention that is preferable to disable the in game bloom, and that some of the effects I used distort the UI.

 

[BlueJay9]

Yeah the menus look like they have the DoF applied to them too, but still it looks great in game.

Hey there! I'm new around here, haha, but not new to Shenmue. I was looking for some Reshade stuffs to see how other people experience their Shenmue. I've been fiddling around with it too. I tend to like the heavy post-processing stuff too, although I'm trying to find a really nice balance. And yeah, trying to make it work for the scene *and* the HUD & Menu's is tough going.

I also like colour. SEGA, to me, is lots of bright, saturated colours, so I've been tweaking mine accordingly. Here's some screen shots!

It's all still a work in progress, but I'm fun getting it juuuuuust right for my tastes!

I'm Robbie - good to meet you all :)
