Fun with vkBasalt: Mass Effect 2 Noir
2I've just recently begun to use vkBasalt, which is a post-processing layer for Vulkan.
I'm not a big graphics expert, so usually I simply don't care, but vkBasalt allows you to do some interesting stuff.
That's why I decided to do some videos to demonstrate what you can do with your favourite games by using it.
This is the first video in the series where I show how you can you make Mass Effect 2 look a bit retro.
To reproduce the effects I used for this video just add this line to your vkBasalt.conf file (usually located in ~/.local/shar/vkBasalt):
effects = Monochrome:FilmGrain:fxaa:smaa:cas
Also don't forget to put the path to the ReShade filters and shaders you use. In my case:
reshadeTexturePath = /home/nost/.local/share/reshade/Textures
reshadeIncludePath = /home/nost/.local/share/reshade/Shaders
FilmGrain = /home/nost/.local/share/reshade/Shaders/FilmGrain.fx
Monochrome = /home/nost/.local/share/reshade/Shaders/Monochrome.fx
