Had that issue

#

Dof is rendered at base resolution

#

And not scaled correctly

#

Probably using nearest neighbor

#

Or something dumb

brittle abyss Jan 22, 2026, 4:36 PM

#

My god really ? I was actually wondering about that. Is there guides for that ? Since original REST tends to have compatibility issues for lack of maintenance.

#

In BG3 for exemple. Getting REST and Reno at the same time is possible but a pain. And it comes with restrictions ( upscaling is fucked).

woeful raven Jan 22, 2026, 4:39 PM

#

If the dof issue is bc of nesrest neighbor the dof would look worse if you're upscaling from balanced or quality vs perf

is there an ingame screenshot function

with toggleable dof and shit

median robin Jan 22, 2026, 4:57 PM

there is a photo mode with an aperture slider

#

woeful raven Jan 22, 2026, 4:58 PM

#

might or might not use the same dof function

#

but worth trying i guess

dusky wave Jan 22, 2026, 5:08 PM

#

I think I found the issues

#

texel sizes are small

#

downsample is 2x

#

CoC samples are also very coarse

#

so it gives the illusion of pixelated

#

The bluriness is coming from them using aggerssive temporal accumulation for DOF as well

#

I need to back out my DOF pages for this one

#

oh and the kernels are kinda mid

#

so the Bokeh doesnt look like nice bokeh

#

it just looks like blur

dusky wave What you need to do is add per chrominance by per channelmance with max fartsnif...

When you use a slider comparison you can see a difference

But if you just gave me both pics side by side 90% of the time I can't tell

Reds are always the colour that can get griefed the hardest

first thing I'd do is try removing the min 1 r3.xyz = min(float3(1,1,1), r0.xyz);

so just r3.xyz = r0.xyz;

#

might need to just replace that with a max channel tonemap to 1

cause they do stuff like this

  r5.xyz = float3(1,1,1) + -r3.xyz;

which would give negatives if r3 > 1

ignore that lutbuilder

not the lutbuilder

the game seems to sample something else once you;re in game now

you need to install reshade as d3d12.dll

we don't need inject64.exe anymore

because we figured out the game doesn't block d3d12.dll

so just rename to d3d12 to inject via the normal way

the 1024x32 texture goes from black

to having a lut again

ok

#

looks like i can trigger a lutbuilder rebuild

#

by logging in and out

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 5:35 AM

#

you can get rid of this at the end:

  r0.yzw = min(float3(1,1,1), r0.yzw);

#

and here is the tonemapper:


  // ACES approximation (color * (a*color + b)) / (color * (c*color + d) + e)
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.93604493,2.93604493,2.93604493) + float3(0.887121975,0.887121975,0.887121975);
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * r1.xyz + float3(0.806888998,0.806888998,0.806888998);
  r1.xyz = float3(1,1,1) / r1.xyz;
  r1.xyz = max(float3(9.99999975e-005,9.99999975e-005,9.99999975e-005), r1.xyz);
  r2.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.78508496,2.78508496,2.78508496) + float3(0.107772,0.107772,0.107772);
  r2.xyz = r2.xyz * r0.xyz;

#

actually missed a line

#

this one a few down

#

  r0.yzw = r2.xyz * r1.xyz;

#

is the last part of the curve

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 5:42 AM

#

tough nimbus is the last part of the curve

so do we remove that entire aces tonemapper section?

#

or just everything past fastinverttonemap

#

#

like this

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 5:43 AM

#

no do this

#

first this code here:

  // ACES approximation (color * (a*color + b)) / (color * (c*color + d) + e)
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.93604493,2.93604493,2.93604493) + float3(0.887121975,0.887121975,0.887121975);
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * r1.xyz + float3(0.806888998,0.806888998,0.806888998);
  r1.xyz = float3(1,1,1) / r1.xyz;
  r1.xyz = max(float3(9.99999975e-005,9.99999975e-005,9.99999975e-005), r1.xyz);
  r2.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.78508496,2.78508496,2.78508496) + float3(0.107772,0.107772,0.107772);
  r2.xyz = r2.xyz * r0.xyz;
  
  r0.x = dot(r0.xyz, float3(0.272228986,0.674081981,0.0536894985));
  r0.x = -0.5 + r0.x;
  r0.x = saturate(0.666666687 * r0.x);
  r0.yzw = r2.xyz * r1.xyz;
  r0.yzw = min(float3(1,1,1), r0.yzw);

#

these 2 lines can be moved up:

  r0.yzw = r2.xyz * r1.xyz;
  r0.yzw = min(float3(1,1,1), r0.yzw);

#

so now it becomes

#

  // ACES approximation (color * (a*color + b)) / (color * (c*color + d) + e)
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.93604493,2.93604493,2.93604493) + float3(0.887121975,0.887121975,0.887121975);
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * r1.xyz + float3(0.806888998,0.806888998,0.806888998);
  r1.xyz = float3(1,1,1) / r1.xyz;
  r1.xyz = max(float3(9.99999975e-005,9.99999975e-005,9.99999975e-005), r1.xyz);
  r2.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.78508496,2.78508496,2.78508496) + float3(0.107772,0.107772,0.107772);
  r2.xyz = r2.xyz * r0.xyz;
  r0.yzw = r2.xyz * r1.xyz;
  r0.yzw = min(float3(1,1,1), r0.yzw);
  
  r0.x = dot(r0.xyz, float3(0.272228986,0.674081981,0.0536894985));
  r0.x = -0.5 + r0.x;
  r0.x = saturate(0.666666687 * r0.x);

#

then you can do this:

// ACES approximation (color * (a*color + b)) / (color * (c*color + d) + e)
#if 0
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.93604493, 2.93604493, 2.93604493) + float3(0.887121975, 0.887121975, 0.887121975);
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * r1.xyz + float3(0.806888998, 0.806888998, 0.806888998);
  r1.xyz = float3(1, 1, 1) / r1.xyz;
  r1.xyz = max(float3(9.99999975e-005, 9.99999975e-005, 9.99999975e-005), r1.xyz);
  r2.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.78508496, 2.78508496, 2.78508496) + float3(0.107772, 0.107772, 0.107772);
  r2.xyz = r2.xyz * r0.xyz;
  r0.yzw = r2.xyz * r1.xyz;
  r0.yzw = min(float3(1, 1, 1), r0.yzw);
#else
  float3 untonemapped = r0.rgb;
  static const float a = 278.5085;
  static const float b = 10.7772;
  static const float c = 293.6045;
  static const float d = 88.7122;
  static const float e = 80.6889;

  float3 tonemapped = (untonemapped * (a * untonemapped + b)) / (untonemapped * (c * untonemapped + d) + e);

  r0.yzw = tonemapped;
#endif

#

so now you have the tonemapper rewritten in actual readable code

#

the inject64.exe was the method i used before switching over to d3d12.dll

#

you need to have the inject64.exe set to run as admin

#

in the properties

#

then do

start "" "%~dp0Endfield.exe" -force-d3d11```

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 5:53 AM

#

what you can do now is have the tonemapper diverge at the inflection point

#

aka where f''(x) = 0

#

so that it doesn't have the shoulder

#

and the curve continues on the path its on

#

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/zikdnphowz

#

that gives you the
float3 linear_extension = 0.9174704430474515 * x - 0.06355161968502177

#

it can now be written like this:

// ACES approximation (color * (a*color + b)) / (color * (c*color + d) + e)
#if 0
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * float3(2.93604493, 2.93604493, 2.93604493) + float3(0.887121975, 0.887121975, 0.887121975);
  r1.xyz = r0.xyz * r1.xyz + float3(0.806888998, 0.806888998, 0.806888998);
  r1.xyz = float3(1, 1, 1) / r1.xyz;

  r2.xyz = r2.xyz * r0.xyz;
  r0.yzw = r2.xyz * r1.xyz;
  r0.yzw = min(float3(1, 1, 1), r0.yzw);
#else
  float3 untonemapped = r0.rgb;
  static const float a = 278.5085;
  static const float b = 10.7772;
  static const float c = 293.6045;
  static const float d = 88.7122;
  static const float e = 80.6889;

  float3 tonemapped = (untonemapped * (a * untonemapped + b)) / (untonemapped * (c * untonemapped + d) + e);

  const float divergence_point = 0.267010625;
  float3 linear_extension = 0.9174704430474515 * untonemapped - 0.06355161968502177;

  tonemapped = renodx::math::Select(untonemapped < divergence_point, tonemapped, linear_extension);


  r0.yzw = tonemapped;
#endif

#

also need to remove these 2 saturates:

  r0.yzw = saturate(r1.xyz / r0.yyy);
  r0.yzw = r0.yzw + -r1.xyz;
  o0.xyz = saturate(r0.xxx * r0.yzw + r1.xyz);

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 6:51 AM

#

tough nimbus also need to remove these 2 saturates: ```cpp r0.yzw = saturate(r1.xyz / r0.yy...

so like this to get the tonemapped and then continue the original math?

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 6:52 AM

Ya

#

You can remove the static from the variable declarations

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 6:54 AM

do we need to do anything else

or we are good to sample from this now

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 6:56 AM

this is if we want to keep vanilla path when setting to vanilla right?
can i use your vanillatonemap code in the uber instead

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:14 AM

#

the preprocessor definition just allows you to quickly toggle between original and new code if you want

#

now you can either put a warning telling people to reload the game if they want to switch tonemapper or you can just approximate vanilla in the uber

#

remember that end users are incredibly stupid and can't follow simple directions

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:15 AM

#

ya thats why i dont want to make it dynamic in the lutbuilder

#

telling users to log out if they want to try vanilla

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:16 AM

#

ya

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:16 AM

#

is troll despair

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:16 AM

#

you could do that or just rename vanilla to SDR

#

and approximate the look of vanilla with SDR

#

don't butcher the mod and put out slop just so you don't have to edit the lutbuilder

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:17 AM

#

yea im gonna keep the lutbuilder hdr

#

just wanted to know if there's a way to grade vanilla closer to true sdr

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:17 AM

#

what you can do is

#

just run exponential rolloff per channel

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:17 AM

#

cause otherwise saturate(color)

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:18 AM

#

something like this

  if (RENODX_TONE_MAP_TYPE == 0.f) { // SDR
    o0.rgb = renodx::tonemap::ExponentialRollOff(max(0, o0.rgb), 0.18f, 1.f);
  } else { // RenoDX
    o0.xyz = renodx::draw::ToneMapPass(o0.xyz);
  }
  o0.xyz = renodx::draw::RenderIntermediatePass(o0.xyz);

#

also tonemap ass should be before dithering

#

and dithering should be run in bt.2020 pq in HDR

#

or just disabled entirely

#

and their srgb encode removes negatives

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:20 AM

#

yeah i skipped the dithering code on the else

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:20 AM

#

  // r1.xyz = log2(abs(r0.xyz));
  // r1.xyz = float3(0.416666657,0.416666657,0.416666657) * r1.xyz;
  // r1.xyz = exp2(r1.xyz);
  // r1.xyz = r1.xyz * float3(1.05499995,1.05499995,1.05499995) + float3(-0.0549999997,-0.0549999997,-0.0549999997);
  // r2.xyz = float3(12.9200001,12.9200001,12.9200001) * r0.xyz;
  // r0.xyz = cmp(float3(0.00313080009,0.00313080009,0.00313080009) >= r0.xyz);
  // r0.xyz = r0.xyz ? r2.xyz : r1.xyz;
  r0.rgb = renodx::color::srgb::EncodeSafe(r0.rgb);

#

remember to remove untonemapped from tonemapass

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:40 AM

#

tough nimbus ```cpp // r1.xyz = log2(abs(r0.xyz)); // r1.xyz = float3(0.416666657,0.41666...

i mean we dont even need srgb encode right

#

#

planning to do it like this

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:41 AM

#

Ya if you’re gonna just remove dithering entirely then srgb encode is unneeded

#

You can just move renderintermediatepass to after the if else

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:42 AM

#

oh yeah true

#

commented out code doesn't affect perf right

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:42 AM

#

No

#

Should add lut size to the config

#

lut_config.precompute = cb1[7].xyz

#

  renodx::lut::Config lut_config = renodx::lut::config::Create(
      s0_s,
      1.f,
      0.f,
      renodx::lut::config::type::ARRI_C1000_NO_CUT,
      renodx::lut::config::type::LINEAR,
      cb1[7].xyz);```

woeful raven Jan 23, 2026, 7:50 AM

#

ya i actually removed that one

#

is there any benefit from using the lut size

#

if it works without it

tough nimbus Jan 23, 2026, 7:52 AM

Saves performance

median robin Jan 23, 2026, 11:21 AM

I wonder if it's related to the factory system

#

it is climbing steadily while just hanging around a factory area

#

and as I said that it stopped climbing. Who knows

grizzled herald Jan 23, 2026, 12:28 PM

#

Are godrays a slider or something? Maybe not as noticeable as if you look right at the sun, but personally I like vanilla or V1 more. I like how it's colder, maybe matching better the planet we're in, at the end it's an alien world not Earth's sun.

dusky wave Jan 23, 2026, 12:28 PM

#

Godrays are tied with HDR Sun

#

So when you toggle on you get the reworked godrays + HDR Sun

#

I can desaturate the sun again

So now it's a toggle then?

median robin Jan 23, 2026, 12:34 PM

#

also the VFX on attacks look more "saturated" for lack of a better word. I guess that's due to the improvements to the lutbuilders?

dusky wave Jan 23, 2026, 12:35 PM

#

yes

#

saturated badly or saturated goodly?

#

Maybe the colours are broken

median robin Jan 23, 2026, 12:36 PM

#

hmmm I think it's good. It's more in line with how the ZZZ vfx look when using the reno mod in that game

dusky wave Jan 23, 2026, 12:36 PM

#

grizzled herald So now it's a toggle then?

with HDR Sun yes, I am now adding a separate toggle just for godrays

#

it will be a slider

median robin Jan 23, 2026, 12:36 PM

#

If anything the highlights in the vfx looks a bit more muted in contrast to what it was, but I guess that's just because the colours are more prominent

#

it was very prominent inside the protocol area, less so outside if you wanna have a look for yourself

#

specifically this one

In the lutbuilder you can just take some hue and chrominance from the vanilla color

Or do it in the Uber

let me send examples

Ardelia colours are still borked so I need to see whats causing that

SDR / Current / with SDR hues and chrominance

grizzled herald Jan 23, 2026, 2:12 PM

#

How do you guys compare SDR to HDR in Windows? Do I have to toggle every time or SDR vs HDR with HDR off in windows is accurate for color and only misses the highlights?

dusky wave Jan 23, 2026, 2:13 PM

#

A bunch of ways

#

Shortfuse mentioned to me that running HDR on is fine

#

then in the addon we have a branch to tell the the game to run SDR code

#

when you select None its just running SDR code

#

so it should match

#

What might get you is gamma correction

#

sometimes swapchain gamma might still be applying when you select none

#

so youre either getting no gamma correction with SDR or double gamma

#

just have to watch out for that

grizzled herald Jan 23, 2026, 2:15 PM

#

But SDR with HDR on in Windows is washed out isn't it? Or you are using this?

dusky wave Jan 23, 2026, 2:15 PM

#

thats only for windows

#

OS part

#

games run their own code

sudden nest Jan 23, 2026, 2:16 PM

#

doesn't that profile also affect games

#

just use dwm

grizzled herald Jan 23, 2026, 2:17 PM

#

sudden nest doesn't that profile also affect games

Yes. I don't use it. Unless a very specific scenario.

sudden nest Jan 23, 2026, 2:18 PM

#

yeah just use dwm its better

grizzled herald Jan 23, 2026, 2:19 PM

#

sudden nest yeah just use dwm its better

Not familiar with this. How would this help comparing SDR to HDR pictures in Chrome or Desktop?

sudden nest Jan 23, 2026, 2:20 PM

#

no its just a tool to change windows gamma so hdr on windows doenst suck

#

its not a profile so it doenst apply to games

#

watching sdr pictures with default windows hdr shouldnt need anything, i think

dusky wave Jan 23, 2026, 2:58 PM

#

SDR / Current (with no hue/chrominance restoration) / Current with hue restoration / Modifed replacing linear extension with luminance based scaling

The sheep horns I guess. What was the issue exactly? Only present in highlights colors?

dusky wave Jan 23, 2026, 3:09 PM

#

The game was lacking SDR hues and chrominance

#

so it wasnt matching colours

#

I then discovered that saturated hues like the pink of the horns was borked

#

it has artefacts and looks wrong

#

If you want more highlight sat you can use reno slider in post

#

Based off the pics above highlights looked wrong

but again, Musa might enlighten use with a better method
