Half-Life 2 Lambda Reshade
/////////////////////////
This preset for Half-Life 2 MMod made with Reshade visually improves the game without weighing too heavily on performance. I won't hide the fact that the development was troubled as i had to compromise several times given the multifaceted nature of the game, between changes of scenery, light and time of day, finding the right balance was a real challenge, a challenge that only you will be able to tell me if I won. Enjoy.

INFO & TIPS:
----------------
- It's recommended to use this preset with the Half-Life 2 : MMod Version 1.3.
- To allow shaders to run properly, it's strongly recommended that the built-in anti-aliasing in Half-Life 2 and in the video card control panel be disabled.
- To properly run different shaders (AO, DOF, Etc...) you need to have "Depth Buffer" enabled in Reshade, if some of these video effects are missing from Reshade menu try to go to the "Add-ons" box and enable "copy depth buffer before clear operations".
- It's advisable to turn off the FGFX shader in levels like Ravenholm to reduce the brightness.
- It's advisable to turn off the Grain in MMod menu option to increase the image quality.
- For proper preset execution, don't change the order of the shaders in the Reshade menu.
- If you have any advice for improving this preset, don't refrain from letting me know.
