This was mastered for 4k-8k, so some tweaking might be needed to get it looking good for lower resolutions and your monitor.

there are 2 files
1) with RTGI (whats in the video mod showcase)
2) without RTGI - for those who dont want/have Pascals RTGI Effects.

*****************

3) RESHADE 5.4.2
- Install the Latest reshade Version [5.4.2] to the game exe "RDR2.exe"

4) Game Graphics Settings:
- Every setting works with this preset 
- NB: If Needed, Set your gamma lighter if the reshade looks darker than the video showcase (each monitors gamma and brightness is different)

5) My New Custom Shader (Beyond The Hype Classic Cinema Animation Shader (CCA))
- Install the shader (Beyond The Hype Classic Cinema Animation shader) into "Red Dead Redemption 2\reshade-shaders\" folder by just copying over the "ClassicCinemaAnimation.fx" file into the Shader folder and the 4 png Textures into the Textures folder
- NB: whatever resolution you playing at (default is set to 4K 3840x2160), you need to change the resolution in the CCA setting panel under Processesor definitions. So if you play at 1920x1080 , change it to 1920 & 1080 accordingly. 
- NB: i provided 4 textures (default is "bthcustomgrey20.png")
- bthcustomgrey20.png
- bthcustomgrey100.png
- bthcustomnogrey20.png
- bthcustomnogrey100.png
- the 20 & 100 relates to the opacity of the scratches and grey cover with 100 being zero opacity.
- the grey and no grey are variations from the opacity
- just change the png name in CCA settings panel under Processesor definitions to have a look and maybe u prefer the stronger effect to the default one.
- or wait for my video guide explaining everything and how to install everything.

6) My Reshade Preset:
- just drop my preset into the folder where "RDR2.exe" is in
- when in game, open reshade menu (Pause Key or Home Key) & select the preset and load it.

7) Reshade Ray Tracing v0.33: 
- you need to get the RTGI from Pascal Gilcher's patreon for the RTGI preset. the beta (2nd level).
- https://www.patreon.com/mcflypg
- you just need to sub ($5) for one month and get access to the files (latest file on his discord and not patreon), after you have the files you can unsub from his patreon. Then you can use it over and over for any game. unless you stay as a patreon and get updated files monthly.
