LUSH - ReShade addon

Hi everyone.

This ReShade was created via ReShade.me.

This ReShade makes the shadows more detailed and lighting pop more in the right places as well as sharpen the detail of objects/models in the game.

I have saturated and made the colours slightly more vibrant hence the name "LUSH" however, I have made sure they aren't anything crazy as I want it to still look and feel like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

In my opinion this reshade adds to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly's realism and enhances the experience overall providing a high level of fidelity.

PLEASE be aware this will have a possible FPS drop using this reshade. However, I still have high fps and play smoothly with no issues in many locations. It is just a little heavier than other reshades out there but I believe the level of quality is worth any fps drop. I will possibly consider making a lighter version of this but this will decrease the current fidelity it brings.

Thanks for trying this reshade out.

Installation Steps: (Note these are quite long but I assure you it's quite simple)

1. First download this addon and click on this link -> HERE

2. Scroll down the bottom of that page and hit Download ReShade 4.7.0 (note the version number may change but the instructions stay the same).

3. Click and open the ReShade_setup.exe you just downloaded.

4. Once opened a new window should pop up.

5. Press "Click here to select a game and manage its ReShade Installation".

It will now come up with a new window asking to "select a game application" and will even pre load some other games exes.

6. Instead close to the bottom hit "Browse..."

7. Navigate to your main/route S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly folder.

8. Once in this folder open up the folder named "bin".

9. Next hit the API/Renderer you run your current game on. For example I hit "AnomalyDX10AVX" This is because I play on directx10 with AVX support. I believe currently this doe s not have DX8 support but have not tested.

10. After this it will ask "Which Rendering API does X-Ray 1.6 Engine use?" Again hit the one that matches the current API/Renderer you use. For example I would hit Direct3D 10/11/12 because I play on DirectX10.

11. It will come up with a list and check boxes to select effect packs by different people. Please make sure you tick "SweetFX by Ceejay.dk" and "Legacy Standard effects" at the bottom.

Once both are checked hit "Ok".

12. It will now come up at least three times with further checkboxes of selecting effects. Continue to select them all and hit ok to continue. An easy way to do this is in the bottom left just hit "uncheck all" and then "check all" again. (That way you wont miss any)

Give it sometime and it should say at the top "ReShade Setup was successful" This window can now be closed.

13. Drag my preset named "LUSH - Anomaly" found in the rar you downloaded, into the "bin" folder we were at before. To easily get there goto your route anomaly folder and then click into the "bin" folder.

14. Now run S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly and it should load up ReShade.me so give it a sometime to load the effects installed. Hit the "Home" key to open up ReShade.me and hit "skip tutorial".

15. In the "Home" tab just underneath it should say "DefaultPreset" hit that and than choose "LUSH - Anomaly". If it doesn't have LUSH - Anomaly just direct the path yet again to your route Anomaly folder than "bin" folder where the reshade will be and click on it.

16. All done. You can also find in the bottom right corner of the Reshade.me console a check box that says "performance" I always have this on. However, remember if you want to make any changes to the reshade you must uncheck this. Other than that you can hit the "home" key again to close the console.

You can also hit the "settings tab" in the ReShade.me console on the top bar next to "home tab" and set a key to the "effect toggle key" that way you can toggle the ReShade on/off.

Thanks again for your time let me know what you think as always take feedback onboard.
