ReShade with CAS filter for even sharper graphics!

[bongodoctor]

Z.O.N.A Project X is compatible with the ReShade post-processing app - you can use its VR Contrast Adaptive Sharpening to further improve the sharpness of the graphics/textures. Here are links to download ReShade [reshade.me] and the Preset [pastebin.com] which will just use CAS to sharpen the whole screen in the headset.

1. Manually download and extract the provided ReShadePreset.ini file into your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ZONA directory (just remove the .txt file extension whilst saving it)

2. Download the latest version of ReShade from the website

3. Install ReShade, select ZONA Project X from the list of games

4. Select Direct X 10/11/12

5. When prompted select the ReShadePreset.ini file

6. Accept the auto-selection of plugins and install

You can then access and experiment with the settings via the Steam VR dashboard. There are three active settings:

Contrast Adaption - Adjusts the range the shader adapts to high contrast, higher values = sharper image (default 0.5/1.0)

Sharpening Intensity - Adjusts sharpening intensity by mixing original/sharpened pixels, higher values = sharper image (default 2.5/5.0)

Contrast Clamping - Limits the contrast adaption based on brightness, higher values = sharper image (Default 1.0/1.0)

Although they are disabled by default you easily can activate the Sharpening Mask and Colour Correction Filters by changing the Pre-Processor Definitions from 0 to 1 if you want to experiment with them.
