[ReShade] HDAO, SMAA and Adaptive Sharpening

I did a test configuration of ReShade for HoMM V. It adds some advanced shading effects, sharpens the textures intelligently and introduces more advanced antialiasing algorithm.

Screenshots

Overworld



Battle



Town Screen



Screenshot album. I am using xuxo's PRT 0.3 and some Xazardous's mods.

In order to use it - unzip to "<GameFolder>/bin" and disable antialiasing in game. "Scroll Lock" turns the effect on and off.

Thank you for this.
However, I only get an empty folder after opening the archive. Is there a problem somewhere? (I'm opening it with WinRar)

Never mind, I copied them manually from the archive - anyway, direct extraction does not seem to work.

Yeah, 7Zip is recommended. Didn't even know someone was still using WinRAR.

Also, if you want a bit more subtle and more fast ambient occlusion - there is a line "#define iHBAOSamples 10" in McFX.cfg (inside bin/SweetFX folder). Set it to "7" instead.

Heh, very old habits ...
I'll try that too, thanks - I didn't have time to try the whole thing yet.

This looks amazing, but really requires a monster PC.

Anymore tips to optimize performance are welcome.

Well...

"#define iHBAOSamples" can be set as low as 2 (as tested by xuxo). At this low, it makes shading much less detailed, but at least it is still there. Of course, the less samples are taken from the picture, the better the performance, so experiment with this value.

You can also give up antialiasing completely, by opening SweetFX.cfg (in bin/ReShade) and setting "#define USE_SMAA 1" to 0. You might also set "#define USE_FXAA 0" to 1, if you are doing it, since FXAA is very light on resources and still better than no antialiasing at all.

For reference - I am running a GeForce 560 Ti and getting 30+ fps with SMAA enabled and "#define iHBAOSamples" set to 7.

Isn't colors too bland? We are blaming H7 due to colors, and wish H7 to be more H5, but now we turning visuals of H5 into plain gray. Why?..

Colors seemed ok to me.
But it requires monster PC to work perfect.

with antialiasing max:



antialiasing off:



Also: Does this work with crossfire?

I suppose it's because the grass is not a model but an effect. Try with the latest PRT version - it exchanges the "ParticleInstance 2D sprite of grass" with a 3D model.
