ReShade: post-processing after the game has finished drawing
A free Windows injector that adds effects such as SMAA, ambient occlusion, depth of field, and color grading across Direct3D, OpenGL, and Vulkan.
Field notes
ReShade inserts an effect chain into the presentation path after a host application has rendered its frame, using color and optionally depth data as inputs. The illustrated stack includes SMAA, SSAO, depth of field, and color grading before the result reaches the swap chain. The page says ReShade FX can target Direct3D, OpenGL, and Vulkan, while depth access disables automatically during multiplayer; the listed Windows release is version 6.8.0 at roughly 3.89 MB.
