NOT A DRILL!
Playing Dragon Age Inquisition? Want to take beautiful screenshots? Always wanted to try Otis’ amazing premium photomode tools?
Well now you can for FREE 💚
Frans Bouma has released his tools for DAI for free, and it supports IGCSDOF 💕
IGCSDOF is a superior depth of field solution. It requires Frans’ photomode tools to work, alongside ReShade.
It comes as the igcsconnector ReShade addon and a complimentary igcsdof ReShade shader.
Any dof you see in my Cyberpunk, BG3 or RDR2 shots use IGCSDOF.
It doesn’t work like the dof shaders you’re used to. You access it via the addon tab. You can’t use it in real time. You have to set up your shot, and then set up IGCSDOF.
When you turn it on, you won’t see any blur at all. You’ll see two versions of the scene layered on each other. The distance between the overlap of these 2 images determines the strength of blur.
There are lots of options for bokeh shape, CA, and quality.
Once you’ve selected the settings you want, you ‘render’ the image. This will take anything from a few seconds to a few minutes (or more!) depending on the quality you chose, the game fps, and how powerful your PC is.
Once the image is rendered you’ll see the blur as it’s meant to be. Then you take the shot, and end the IGCSDOF session.
It sounds complex, and it can be to begin with. But you quickly get the hang of it.
And trust me, it is very definitely worth it. The quality of the dof is miles ahead of regular dof shaders. It treats glass and other transparent objects correctly, and edges aren’t haloed.
Now’s your chance to give it a try! IGCSDOF/IGCS connector is always free, but Frans’ camera tools, that are required to use it, usually require a patreon subscription (worth it imo).
But now you can try them in Dragon Age Inquisition for free!
