Steps to Disable Film Grain and/or Motion Blur Only

[Mimosa]

Film grain can be removed as with any other UE4 title. Not sure why people are suggesting using sg.PostProcessQuality... kind of weird that is making the rounds online.

Anyway. Follow the default file path:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\MK12\Saved\Steam\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Open "engine.ini" and paste the following:

[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.Tonemapper.Quality=3
r.MotionBlur.Max=0

Set engine.ini to read only under preferences as a precaution.

Tonemapper affects Film grain and the other is self-explanatory. This should only affect film grain and/or motion blur without touching other post processing effects.

You can also set r.Tonemapper.Quality=0 to see it that works better.

Mimonsa, this works great! Much better than turning off all post processing like you said. Hey, do you know if this command will also work for Mortal Kombat 11? I've been waiting forever for a way to get rid of film grain in that game.

According to reddit discussions tonemapper.quality still disable more than just film grain so it's not recommended. But separate grain quality 0 setting doesn't work either in this game.

What else does it disable? So far I have not noticed anything else, while the removal of film grain is a very noticeable improvement to me, so I'd say it's worth the trade-off, if there really is one.

I am not saying this to argue or anything, I am really just curious, but as far as I saw the reply you linked only states that there are other things affected, not actually describing what exactly is. Same for the Reddit link in that thread, additionally to the fact that on Reddit they also mess with other settings.
I made comparison images myself, and I really don't see any differences other than Film Grain. If there are any, personally I would still recommend that anyone who is bothered by film grain to go with the tonemapper setting. https://imgur.com/a/7CNw7dz

This is too funny. I'm Rayge.

I mean... that information on Reddit came from MY analysis of Tekken 7 from 6 years ago. Kind of funny how this has come full circle. Setting tonemapper.quality to 0 is what you DON'T want to do because it DOES affect various other settings for the tone of the picture. It was something I stated back then too.

I can show a slider to compare the difference between using r.Tonemapper.Quality=3 and not using it. There is no discernable difference other than film grain going away.

What ARE those differences for r.Tonemapper.Quality=* you ask?

0: Completely disables it
1: Adds FilmContrast
2: Adds Vignette
3: Adds FilmShadowTintAmount
4: Adds Grain
5: Adds GrainJitter = full quality

That's why tonemapper.quality set to 3 is the best option. It gives you the other effects without adding film grain.

This is about as granular as you can get. It is infinitely better than messing with sg.PostProcessQuality which affects an exponential amount of variables.

Thanks, that helps. I was trying to find something about these settings, but even Unreal Engine website had no clear explanation or examples.

No problem.

This is correct. A lot of variable are not well documented. And as you can see... most developers probably don't have proper documentation as well and probably don't do any further research outside what available on the official unreal wiki.

What about upscaling over monitor resolution?
I would like to make in Game Resolution higher.

What a hero, thank you. Film grain still baffles me to this day. It hurts my eyes and gives me a headache. Developers put so much effort into making their games look good and playable in 4k clarity. Then go, you know what will make this look even better?! Lets have the player look at it through a screen door!

[Spring Bag]

On top of disabling Motion Blur and Film Grain, how would I go about disabling Vignette as well?

Do I set "r.Tonemapper.Quality" to "1"?

Am I missing anything since this will disable "FilmShadowTintAmount"
